What an idiot. 8 week suspension for betting. How stupid can one be. Anyway sucko Collingwood. 
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.
