Stephenson Seagull

 

[SunshineBoy]

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.

On two occasions Stephenson gave cash to a friend to place the bets for him, on one occasion he used the friend's betting account. All bets were unsuccessful.

Would have been a tidy sum

There is a funny side to this. Dumb campaigner bet on himself. Twice. And lost.

ha ha ha ha

I have doubts that Betenson actually confessed what he did. What dickhead would?
I reckon he was just talking to some campaigners at training and some journalist overheard or some sh1t and now here we are.

Is "self reported" just code for "the story is going break anyway, let's get ahead of it and push for a lighter sanction"?

yep. they knew about it a while back because the dumb campaigner probably said something at training or told a less dumb teammate and they dobbed him in. they were figuring how best to go about it before a journo found out. lawyers said to say he confessed and is a good bloke, it worked, the end

 

[biaseddustyfan]

it's hard to stomach what players have to do after they've done something bad

like yeah he's a moron and was getting close to match fixing territory but the press conference is like he is a mass murderer lol. funny stuff

 

[The Mighty]

Tommy "Gun" Browne was probably going through his rubbish bin and found the betting slips shifty campaigner

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Two gambling issues now at Collingwood.
Rancid carcass of a club.

Actually more than that sier got fined for it the other year and another player while he was at the lions

In the last 5 years 3 drug suspensions and two guys betting on afl shit club

He went to Melb uni

Stephenson got of lightly for match fixing. He gets to play finals so 10 weeks is only a slap on the wrist. 2 years minimum should have been the penalty.

Also got De Goey getting injured 'playing with his dog' and I think there was another incident like that.

This is sickening, a bona fide a** kisser kissing the proverbial a** hole at a game of AFL footy... Rest assured Order of Australia recipient Peggy O'Niell wouldn't resort to such behavior. Proper class act is our Peggy.

What would a richmond player get for this same offence? Life ban? Deportation?

What would a richmond player get for this same offence? Life ban? Deportation?

As someone posted previously, the cops would get involved just like Martin's chopstick incident

 

[Thrasher97]

No Seagull goals for Stephenson for a couple of weeks...
Should've been out for the rest of the year... How do they figure out the amount of games suspended from 22 suspended to 10??

 

[Nobby]

If it was Dusty he would have copped two years and the AFL would have got the police involved.

and they would have forced Dimma to stand down as coach because he let it happen on his watch

What would a richmond player get for this same offence? Life ban? Deportation?

I think he would be living with his dad

 

[tigerwill]

Have to laugh...Collingwood and the afl in a meeting "negotiating" the penalty.

 

[Nobby]

Just watching Fox Sports news and Alissa Smith said in the headlines Stephenson was suspended for 10 years, I had to rewind to make sure i heard it correctly. If only lol

 

[Punt rd end]

Howe dobbed him in lol

Tom Browne keeps deleting this tweet lol

 

[JackNah_8]

Howe dobbed him in lol

so what does self-reporting actually mean to Stephenson? lol
