Players look at authorised devices during a game all the time.

If you want to go quickly, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together.

Fair go mate. All he was doing was cashing out after he backed himself for 5 and knew he was only looking at kicking 4.
So you've seen everything have you?
Yep
Have you ever seen a man eat his own head?
No
Well you haven't seen everything then have you.

Wasn’t his phone and was in his possession for about 4 seconds. Looked at the screen then gave it back.
No big deal IMO

Players can’t use their phones during a match because they might compromise themselves with regards to gambling?
The AFL is sponsored by online betting companies?

Dunno, I’m just an idiot.

Either you can't look at a phone or you can. It's fairly simple.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together.
