Jeremy Cameron produces the two biggest shanks of his life at the worst possible time
One of the worst games of the star forward's whole career!
The AFL has announced it has suspended Collingwood premiership defender Heath Shaw for eight matches under their anti-gambling code.
Collingwood captain Nick Maxwell was also fined $10,000, of which $5000 was suspended, for his part in the same offence.
Shaw bet on Maxwell kicking the first goal in the round-nine win over Adelaide.
Maxwell normally plays as a defender and he started forward in the match.
The league investigated after they became aware of a betting plunge on Maxwell kicking the first goal of the match.
Shaw was suspended for a total of 14 matches, but six of them are suspended.
He was also fined $20,000.
The suspension puts Shaw, one of Collingwood’s most important players, out of action until the start of the finals series.
In announcing the penalties, AFL operations manager Adrian Anderson said Shaw had been open when asked about the offence.
Anderson said Shaw shared in a $20 bet.
Suspicions were raised when the odds of Maxwell kicking the first goal shortened dramatically to 25-1.
The AFL started their investigation this week.
Collingwood are due to hold a media conference at their headquarters from 4.45pm on Friday.

When people say a home-and-away match is finals-like, they're usually referring, at least in part, to its quality. That was far from the case…
The Eagle took the bait and was drawn into giving away a free kick as his teammate was lining up in the one-goal loss…
The strength of the number one draft pick was impressive to floor Zach Merrett and Ben Hobbs in the one play.
