Re: GWS Recruiting Assistant Suspended.
Doesn't make sense, ie the length of penalty
Brodie breached AFL rules by placing a $100 head-to-head multibet on five round 19 games this year, including one match the Giants were playing in.FFC: Established 1883

KB's morning headlines just write themselves. He will have a field day with someone being stood down for that length of time for having a bet but take illicit drugs and the AFL world is your friend protecting you from losing your career.Western Bulldogs Football Club "Where it's cool to drool"Comment

Re: GWS Recruiting Assistant Suspended.
I don't see it that way, both are illegal actions and both of them can be an illness but one of them is clearly a more dangerous threat to your physical health.
I have no problems with a penalty being applied to people within the business betting even though it's hard to say he had insider information but compared to the issue around bans for players taking illicit drugs it depends on how many times you have been caught before you could potentially get a 12 week ban.
Paul Brodie has been named, shamed and punished in quick succession but you have to jump through a lot more hoops before a penalty is applied when it comes down to players taking illicit drugs.
I look forward to listening to Bartlett tomorrow.Western Bulldogs Football Club "Where it's cool to drool"Comment

Seems pretty heavy handed. Take away a person's livelihood for over a year for a 100 dollar bet.You don't develop courage by being happy in your relationships every day. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity. ― EpicurusComment

Re: GWS Recruiting Assistant Suspended.
The illicit drug issue and gambling issue are completely different and I don't believe they can be compared.
Why is this heavy handed? Brodie had inside information and used it to his advantage for financial gain. Insider trading, to a degree.More of an In Bruges guy?Comment

Re: GWS Recruiting Assistant Suspended.
Different yes but I think they can be compared in so far as we have one rule that is enforced with strict penalties and is communicated to all and sundry and another that tries as hard as it can to diminish the seriousness of the act and tries to keep it a secret.
How did they arrive at the 13 month suspension? Is this going to be the same for players?Western Bulldogs Football Club "Where it's cool to drool"Comment

Re: GWS Recruiting Assistant Suspended.
To be consistant (like the AFL know what that means) Talia should get a couple of years then.
