Western Bulldogs premiership captain Easton Wood has taken a stand against gambling in sport, implying there is hypocrisy within the AFL industry when it comes to betting.

Declaring "gambling advertising is out of control and I think it needs to change ", Wood says he cannot understand why AFL players are warned about the dangers of gambling yet television broadcasts of men's and women's games are filled with advertising from betting agencies.

Gambling, whether that be sports betting or the reliance many clubs have on pokies, continues to be a point of debate between the league, clubs, fans and betting agencies.

Wood's comments on social media came on a night the Western Bulldogs' AFLW side lost to the Adelaide Crows at the Whitten Oval, a match broadcast on pay television's Fox Footy.
