And Cripps was BoG as his 10 AFLCA votes confirms.
Pell was one of three umpires conferring to decide the votes. I don't know how forceful/persuasive he is but I suspect that AFL umpires would be hard to sway. I guess that awarding votes to an unexpected player may increase the odds of a spot bet, but I can't see it being the key to the business model.
Spot betting seems to be more open to corruption than betting on the result of a contest and the remedy would seem to be in the hands of the gambling industry.
