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.

Got Oliver in the head with his shoulder in the last qtr as well.  Not to mention his flying knees and legs when contesting centre bounces

    6 months ago I was leading into an end zone against a younger opponent (side by side/same direction) going at maximum speed, competing for a high disc, had launched to catch, with feet off ground (maybe 50-60cm off) when another team mate (small/brave & new) ran straight in front of me with <2-3m space. I was still able to tuck up so I didn't collect them in the head and get my arm out of way so I took the impact on the chest. Maynard had choices, his head was turned tracking where Gus was, and lined him up, don't tell me this incredibly fit athlete, whose reactions I couldn't have touched even 20 years ago didn't have time. 

    That aside anyone notice Cox's dog act, trying to twist Trac's leg in the 4th, really needs to be called out was deliberate.

    Dirty dirty player. He will cop a fine for that - should be more.


    Cox should be deported. Maynard is a [censored] who will probably get off.

    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. 

    No way is Goodwin letting the club write anything but the most damning of reports. He was visibly annoyed, and he works hard not to be.

    MRO ex Pie Christian, will be nothing to see here!

    Spot on .... how you can have one ex player calling the shots on this is just another joke in a long line of jokes that is the AFL circus

    He rolled his body to create maximum impact with gus. But they will argue to protect himself. 

    Usually when i fall, i protect with my hands out in front to cushion fall. 

    Intent was to drive maximum force through where ever he landed.

     

    Will get off. Maybe some lawyers will get paid. Afl is soft

     

    Feel for gus and his family.  Can't imagine how angrier i would be if that was my kid laid out.

    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!

    They are not winning the flag. we’ll beat ‘em and Gus will be back by then.

    if Hunter got a week, for protecting himself, Maynard should get 3. No way in hell should he get off on this.

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

    I know who knows what they will decide - a certain Michael Christian, former Magpie player. That’s who knows.  


    Hilarious how the commentariat have created a new legal precedent  of "duty of care to yourself"  concept. Nice misdirection Brian and friends. The duty of care  is what you owe to another ie Brayshaw.  It is not a slogan to bandy around and legitimise unduly rough play to another. Anyway, Maynard was hardly in a passive position where he had to "protect himself". Fortunately for Maynard, he does not now have to consult a lawyer this morning and sue himself.

    Will be interesting, the pies stance will be he turned to protect himself, other he turned to bump.  Either way he instigated the contact that was head high, high impact.  Finals, past player heads up mro he will get off

    Pies will argue that he was bracing himself. In the air, split decision in the act of smothering.  Tom Browne the journalist was in his defence straight away 
     

    the truth … he turned his body to make contact - chose to bump - in the head - high contact - severe impact - that’s 2 or 3 weeks.

    Always been a Micky Mouse league when the most successful clubs took opposition players out off the ball and gained an advantage.

    No wonder a player who is being coached by a student of "Lethal Leigh" the most renowned thug of all time, would take out one of our mids in a crucial game.

    Hate the sport sometimes tbh, outside supporting our Dees.

    And there have always been thugs that know how to purposefully injure while making it look accidental/a footy act. Completely expect him to get off.

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

    That was the precedent I was thinking off. Baily played on. Four weeks is appropriate.

    There will be no argument by Pies, he won’t be suspended.

    Quite honestly anyone who thinks that Maynard didn’t see Gus running wide open and unable to protect himself and didn’t think “I’m gonna nail him here”, is delusional. 

    Maynard has always been a dirty thug masquerading as a bog ordinary footballer. 

    Did he think I’m gonna try and impact the kick? For sure. I have no doubt he did. Did he also think he can nail him at the same time? Absolutely. Did he try to knock him out? Probably not. Did he try to inflict pain? Yes he did.

    A player has never tried smothering a kick with the point of their shoulder. Never in the history of the AFL has a player gone from running with arms out to try and defend a kick to turning midway in the air with an arm tucked in “accidentally”.  It’s not a natural movement or reaction of someone who thinks to himself “oh gees this has gone a bit wrong I better try to limit the damage here” 

    The reality is that Maynard knew exactly what he was trying to achieve. It was a ridiculous attempt at a smother. 

    I was very strong on Kosi getting suspended for a very similar action. It was poor and dangerous. Smith didn’t even get a graze tho. Gus was knocked out and is facing yet another career threatening concussion. 
    If Maynard isn’t suspended then I’ll just about be done with this game. You cannot keep protecting your [censored] agenda.

    feet are off ground

    duty of care - zero

    Add braced to protect himself!

    Hunter turned to protect himself earlier in year and other player dived into him! Hunter got suspended!

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
