No doubt, he ****** up but 10 games is even a bigger suspension than what Gaff got. The actual suspension was 22 games, with 12 suspended. That is huge.

Stephenson placed three same game multi-bets in three separate matches this season in which he played. The bet stakes totalled $36.
The matches in question were against the Western Bulldogs in round four, Essendon in round six and St Kilda in round nine.

The multi-bets included legs on:

• Collingwood to win,
• Collingwood winning margin,
• Stephenson to kick a goal,
• Stephenson to kick three or more goals,
• Collingwood teammates to kick a goal,
• Collingwood teammates to kick two or more goals, and
• Collingwood teammates to have in excess of a number of disposals.

10 matches! Woohoo! Some slap on the wrist! Please gamble responsibly..........

Thought that was a bit harsh for one bet, then I read how many he actually laid, very lucky.

I've known bookies at a local dog meeting lay less than that.

Self-reported on May 19 but a suspension only now. Interesting to hear what caused the investigation to go so long.

Easy - AFL house sat on it until it was convenient for them.

Ie. We're getting savaged in the media about the Fan Behaviour stuff, quick, throw Jaidyn to the wolves!

 

[Coops93]

It was probably let's keep it quiet unless the media, and therefor the public, are aware of it. If they find out then we'll have to do something about it. Otherwise we might get away with it

 

[Gavstar]

The team mates bets could be construed as attempts to "match fix". Bloody lucky not to have a year holiday.

Has he got a gambling addiction?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Nicely timed to play finals.

Seriously though, what an idiot.

10 week suspension falls in line with the Filth having 10 H&A matches left in the season.

He will be available Rnd 1 of the finals.

How convenient!

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

10 match suspension for Jaidyn Stephenson (22 match sanction and 12 match suspended sanction)


Surprise surprise he will be back for the finals!

Does the 12 match suspension apply to another gambling **** up,or any infringement?

That was the penalty handed down by the AFL, so no it doesn't.

Looks like Eddie got his way. MS3 said the AFL wanted to ban Stephenson for the season, but Eddie was trying to work the ban until end of home and away. 10weeks brings it up to the first week of finals I’m pretty sure. If correct, why are the AFL be even talking to him?

Ironically they are one of the few clubs that doesn't have a betting sponsor.

That's how long it has taken to sweep everything else under the carpet 1st.

14 weeks out would be no good for a finals tilt, 10 is doable ... while still sending a very strong message, of course.

 

[Bluey24]

Am gobsmacked Stephenson is playing again this year

He bet on his team, his teammates, and himself across several matches ...

One could make a case that's as bad as performance-enhancing drugs - he should be banned for 12 months

 

[The Coach]

Only $36 worth of bets. I would be happier if his and Stratton's suspensions were reversed

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Really stupid thing he did, he self reported though. For those lamenting the softness of his punishment, I read he's still received the biggest suspension in AFL history for a single player betting on games. Baby steps for the AFL. I would've thought their betting partners would be furious and putting pressure on to make the punishment worse, bookies hate manipulation of their odds etc.

Three separate offences.

Would only be a week if he played for the Cats ...

This is a clever remark. The governing body loves to be seen to be socially aware even when it isn't. It continues to bottle it when it comes to the hard calls on players, particularly favourites/superstars............looking at you Ablett, you nasty little turd.
