Shaw suspended for 8 weeks

Post by Beaussie »

What an idiot. 8 week suspension for betting. How stupid can one be. Anyway sucko Collingwood. :lol:
UPDATE 7.50pm: HEATH Shaw has apologised to his club and its supporters after copping an eight-week ban for betting on a Collingwood game.

Shaw was handed a 14-week ban, with six weeks suspended, along with a fine of $20,000 for breaches of AFL's gambling regulations.

The breach relates to Shaw betting $10 (in a shared $20 bet with a friend) on his captain Nick Maxwell kicking the first goal in the Round 9 match against Adelaide.

Maxwell was also fined $5000 after family members took advantage of inside knowledge about his starting position to place bets.

Just completely dumb. Pure and simple. Certain that Dad will be having some stern words with him, as well as Uncle Tony.

I think Maxwell should have been rubbed out for a few weeks too. Again so stupid of them considering we all know the rules re: gambling.
