If he doesn't  get a serious  suspension it will be open slather on pretending  to smother and then knocking people out.

I'm not saying this was his intent ( but how do we really know) the fact remains Gus was stretchered off after a player launched into him like an f16.

We can never really know ones true intent but the results are irrefutable.

    I suspect he intentionally turned his body to inflict damage but they'll argue he was in the air to smother then braced in a split second decision. He'll get off.

    He can’t get off. 

    Head high.

    High impact.

    Thats 2 weeks.

    Intentional or accidental is all that’s up for debate, so he gets 2-4 weeks. 2 weeks is the minimum possible outcome.

    Fantastic he will miss a flag!

    Going to leave the AFL community in mass confusion if Maynard gets cleared.

    I get that it was a football incident rather an off the ball act of thuggery, but he could be held accountable for a severe impact.

    Absolutely. Roo might only get one week, to stop the screaming after Maynard gets off.

    One bloke unconscious, who has had a problem with concussions. The other victim jumps up and keeps playing.

    Remember Kozzies 2 weeks for jumping up and bumping and Bailey Smith laughed.

    Which team did Christian play for?

    It was a dog act by Maynard.

    Confident the MRO will send it to the tribunal, he’ll cop a 3 week suspension by the tribunal and then the Pies will get him off on appeal.

    Nothing surer.

    Meanwhile we’re a key midfielder down next week.

    MRO is a lottery. Who knows what they’ll decide

    It's bloody obvious, especially after he turned his body to get the shoulder in the head and off the ground, shouldn't matter if it was the front.... so that won't mean anthing and he might get off.

    I just hope Gus is alright.

    I hate the argument it’s a football act, well so is tackling and if you get that wrong and knock someone out your gone this is no different

    He’ll get off. Then we’ll get to hear all the Collingwood idiots praising his toughness.

    The fact that the media interviewed that [censored] after the game to allow him the temerity to suggest what he did was a ‘footy act’ is [censored].

    I can’t stand the pandering by TV media to the largest audience. It’s as if they think we are too thick to realise it’s happening.

    It all comes down to duty of care - he showed none and head high plus high impact makes everything else redundant.  That's 2 weeks and that's all he needs to finish his season.

    1 minute ago, whatwhat say what said:

    will not be suspended

    and if he is will get off on appeal

    Yep, MRO may give it 2 weeks, Careless/High/High

    But other similar ones got off, Cripps, Duncan

    The only thing against Maynard is the shoulder turn, not the best look and not a move to avoid contact, moreso make it hurt.  But I thought Cripps was worse and he got off albeit after long appeal process

    Him and cox are thugs out there to try hurt blokes and get away with  too much. 

    I think even Cox tried to.twist Petraccas ankle during a play where we has laying on the turf and for whatever reason hold Trac's leg and then put his weight on it. Luckily Trac was fine.

    I hope we send in a harsh medical report with a long history of Gus’ concussion injuries, which are very clear to everyone.  That helmet is not a fashion statement. 

    I hope Gus will be ok. He was previously one head knock away from retirement.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
