Not exactly...from the press conference I listened to (not the media reports extrapolating out what was said) Dillon was asked what the penalty would've been if Jaidyn hadn't self-reported, and Dillon said something like "would've been looking at around the 22 game mark". The other thing here is...

Maybe...but the others out there could be thinking: mmm...10 weeks or 22 weeks or 0 weeks - I'll take my chances with the 0 weeks thanks - so long suckers...I guess we'll see how many of the others (and it would be naive to think there are no others) self-report in the near future

But I doubt the penalty would've remained the same if he was ousted when he self-reported - this penalty was orchestrated, and was made to fit the length of the h&a season, just as Heath Shaw's was

Ah, but which love? The love of playing for Collingwood, or the love of betting on Collingwood games? :D

No, you would drop the player who is least performing. Daicos would stay, in your example

The Pies would have negotiated that sanction to ensure he's back for finals - no doubt about it, in my opinion. Just like the Heath Shaw suspension was set to have him back for finals, deals have been done.

Hasn't a big enough price been paid? Should our club be let down further by not having him available for finals? Having him out of the team hearts the entire team. He has enough time to consider his actions and should be spurred on to repay the club in spades when he DOES return this year in the...

He is obviously a gambler, and on his wage and the value of the bet it was not done for financial gain. He could be addicted and for those types it's something deeper that has it's hold on you - not just the prospect of financial gain.

Yep, but how many are now going to self-report with that massive suspension? I suspect very few. The AFL did it's own system an injustice here and just put off all other gambling players from coming forward...

At least, it seems, that our Club was able to negotiate the sanction to 10 effective weeks, enabling him to play finals. I imagine they may have been willing to challenge the sanction if he'd been rubbed out any longer

Didn't shaw get 14, but 6 were suspended?

On another Pies forum someone has posted that the bet was on Pendlebury most possessions - no further substantiation of that though

Mayne is outstanding for defensive pressure. On many, many, occasions he makes a contest out of nothing and spoils an otherwise near certain opposition possession. From the latter half of last season, and onwards this season, he is easily in our best 22.

Not sure, but if you state section there may be others in the same section that can swap...

And what about those on Gumtree asking for tickets and stating they are willing to pay overs? Aren't they also part of the problem?

Yes, if the CFC members are AFL Silver members who had no other way of getting a ticket, but that's not what's happened...they've just taken positions away from AFL members in their own reserve. Imagine the uproar if that occurred in the MCC (where $0 go to the clubs)?

All gone now...

Yes, standing room tix from 1100am - I believe it includes silver AFL members with Collingwood club support. On ticketek: Collingwood Members Who were ineligible for the ballot Wed 26 Sep, 11am - Wed 26 Sep, 1pm AEST

The irony of AFL membership is that silver membership is actually better value then gold membership. Once you hit gold, you have to pay an extra ~$180-200 (I think), but only get the benefit if your team makes the grand final. Anything short of that and you've paid extra for nothing (unless...

Yep - anyone buying an AFL member's ticket is risking their $ as they will not be granted entry into the ground if they are ID checked (as well as the member being punished - which they deserve btw)

And state section. If it is the AFL members reserve then make it clear that the buyer will not be granted entry (and hence would've blown their $) if they are ID checked...

Yep - you're right. My point was that all gold members with club support got a ticket, but silver members with club support couldn't; yet the standing room tickets went to club members - go figure. Yes, maximum allocation available should go to gold members, but IF AFL membership were to push...

Black Panther, not sure whether you're the David who tweeted AFL Membership, but perhaps a tweet back would be in order, something like: So why are standing room tickets in the AFL members reserve given to the club members instead of AFL members? Many AFL members with club support (eg. Silver...

So the AFL can blame the 'pies for not including AFL members in the ballot categories - fair enough (although we could argue that AFL membership should be informing the club that if they want a portion of the $$$ which is given to the club from our AFL membership, that we are included in ballot...

In particular, if it says entry through gate 6 or gate 7, it is in the AFL members reserve.

Fact. Not fiction. I'm an AFL member myself, and know the stand and bays inside out so I figure I'd be in a good position to identify a ticket that's positioned in the AFL reserve.

I'm not saying that all standing room tix are in the AFL members (indeed all are not), but there is proof enough, from other posts in other topics, of what is happening here: that standing room tickets in the AFL members reserve were not made available to AFL Silver members. Silver members have...

It's absolutely wrong...the standing room tickets in the AFL members reserve should at least go to Silver AFL members having competing club support - it should be "OUR OWN" Silver club members that are occupying OUR reserve, not outside members. Yes I know some of you may argue they should go to...

To all those AFL silver members with Collingwood support who missed out on the chance for a ticket (my son included), be aware that it appears the AFL allocated the standing room tickets in the AFL Members reserve to the competing club allocation. That is, they were not available for purchase by...
