Doesn't the AFL have to name the player?? Obviously they did with the 4 players last year, what is the difference now?

[Industrial Fan]

They shouldn't have been named last year.

Dont think that precedent should be followed myself.

In announcing the sanctions, Anderson said future breaches would result in more serious penalties.

"The AFL wants everyone to be quite clear of our attitude to any further breaches of this rule," Anderson said.

"If a player places a bet on an AFL match from today, he will face suspension."

Weren't they supposed to face suspension after the last lot were busted??

Weren't they supposed to face suspension after the last lot were busted??

Indeed they are. What will be interesting is whether the AFL accepts that it was for a relative.

Protected species perhaps?

[Industrial Fan]

Now named.

I have no idea why they think that is necessary, given he was cleared.
