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?

    Agreed!

     

    It was a dog act by Maynard.

    He is a vile [censored]! 🤬🤬🤬

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
