Yeah okay. Thanks for your input. Mods, delete the thread and ban me. Apparently I'm a Collingwood supporter.sainterjo wrote:I'd define 'pathetic' in this instance as a Filth troll masquerading as a Saints supporter.

As soon as you read a post about something you don't like or want to hear, accuse them on supporting the filth? Pathetic.
You must have even more wrong with you than the average braindead Poifan...and even less to do.

Shoot me.
"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

It is simply stupid that a bloke can't have a punt on an unconnected game.
And before you say: oh, but they may know something...What on earth is the difference between that and me chucking twenty on the third at Rosehill on the basis of what a syndicated horse owner told me about said race...
So over the micro-meddling of this f****** administration.
And all the while they advertise gambling all over the place...

Absolutely agree. Only issue that I can think of is that a friend from another club may give them inside information.Thinline wrote:I don't care who it is or at what club.SainterSoul wrote:I hope so.Beno88 wrote:it appears to be an assistant at a club below us but in the eight, .

Does not matter.
Rules are rules. They all know it. They all KNOW it.
Whatever club this has come from, no matter who it is, they are a complete and total moron.

The AFL is investigating another potential betting scandal.
An AFL assistant coach last weekend allegedly placed a $100 bet on a game involving his team.
All AFL employees are banned from betting on matches and League boss Andrew Demetriou has told Neil Mitchell an investigtation is underway.
Both Demetriou and Mitchell agree that given the recent eight-week ban for Heath Shaw of Collingwood for a similar offence, it would be very 'stupid' of the assistant coach if found guilty.

With what has happened recently on Betting matters, all AFL Employees know that they cannot bet on Football.
This so-called Assistant Coach would have to be nuts to place any type of bet on AFL football. There are plenty of other betting opportunities if they must bet.
"If" that person is connected to St Kilda, with the Saints in the Finals and with all that has gone before us earlier in the year, it would be a very very stupid thing to do - a real let-down for the Club. Let's hope that it is another stupid fool!

I still dont know the rules.
Does anybody know.
The article says ALL employees are banned. Is this true. So if you are an office assistant down at Punt Road on 40k a year, the AFL imposes their authority on your life and forbids you to have a bet on the weekend?
Whats next? A blanket ban on ALL AFL employees having a drink?
Really it is so typical of the AFL. They cover up real corruption in the Whispers inthe Sky incident where it was uncovered that an umpire conspired to help one club win over another, but someone has a minor bet and it is a "scandal"
FFS the AFL take us all for fools. They have their snout in the trough and use these "scandals" as a smokescreen for the punters (exceuse the Pun (ter)) while they plunder the riches.
A total joke to sidetrack the gullible masses.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

But if I was anyone involved in the footy in any way (particularly a coach or player!) I'd play it safe and simply not bet on the footy at all!
Or, if I did, I certainly wouldn't do it via a betting account and I wouldn't place it myself at a tote in person!

Joffaboy, this may throw some light on the AFL's position on gambling :
Excerpt from "Statement on AFL Betting Investigation" 5th May 2010.
[quote]Anderson said the AFL's rules around gambling on the AFL were central to the integrity of the competition.
"All AFL players, coaches, umpires and officials should be in no doubt that betting on the AFL is prohibited,â€

Keep this in mind the next time you are about to repeat a rumour or spread gossip.
In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom.
One day an acquaintance ran up to him excitedly and said,
"Socrates, do you know what I just heard about Diogenes?"
"Wait a moment," Socrates replied,
"Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test."
'Triple filter?" asked the acquaintance.
"That's right," Socrates continued,
"Before you talk to me about Diogenes let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say.
The first filter is Truth.
Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"
"No," the man said, "Actually I just heard about it."
"All right," said Socrates,
"So you don't really know if it's true or not.
Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness.
Is what you are about to tell me about Diogenes something good?"
"No, on the contrary..."
"So," Socrates continued,
"You want to tell me something about Diogenes that may be bad, even though you're not certain it's true?"
The man shrugged, a little embarrassed.
Socrates continued,
"You may still pass the test though, because there is a third filter, the filter of Usefulness.
Is what you want to tell me about Diogenes going to be useful to me?"
"No, not really."
"Well," concluded Socrates,
"If what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even useful, why tell it to me or anyone at all?"
The man was bewildered and ashamed.
This is an example of why Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.
It also explains why Socrates never found out that Diogenes was shagging his wife..
