Besides Viney I didn't see enough Demons players have a crack at Maynard afterwards.

The dog act Maynard did could of killed Bradshaw. Especially due to his history of concussions.

He should of been ironed out. Back in the 1980s or 1990s we would of gotten pay back and knocked him out. Thuggery needs to be responded with thuggery. To not do so makes us look weak.

Anyway, as you can tell, I am still extremely angry!!!! I will be BOOING the scumbag Maynard for the rest of his football career! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I am with you @Supreme_Demon

I wanted players to really go at Maynard.  To fly the flag for their mate.  It didn’t happen. Viney is the only tough guy clearly in the team.  I know we can’t throw punches but really strong tackles is the go. Go hard. We didn’t see it at all. 
 

Maynard is a piece of vile vomit as a bloke. Thug. Turns his shoulder to hit Brayshaw in the head. He wasn’t protecting himself. Duty of care.  Careless. Severe. Head high. That’s 3-4 weeks.

    Press and radio this morning softening the incident. Most saying it was a football act, he was already in the air and he was bracing for impact. 

    Demon fans: prepare for a dismissal with Maynard becoming the victim

    I fall out of love with football just a little more every season.

    Melbourne being a good side is keeping me going. But I am holding on for dear life.

     

    I 100% get that.  I used to watch every game I could.  Now, I very rarely watch anything other than our game.

    I think the AFL will orchestrate the following.

    Maynard gets 2 weeks (maybe 1or 3). That way the AFL can be seen to be protecting the players from concussion and litigation down the track.

    The verdict gets appealed. Maynard plays in the prelim.

    And that is exactly what is likely to happen! Can you imagine all the commentators if Maynard doesn't play in a GF? The AFL will act to protect itself and be seen to be doing something about it. We all know it's BS.

    I've been caught in the air plenty of times in sport. If you're going to land on someone and there's a risk of injury, you 'catch' them with your hands as you come into contact to reduce the impact. It's not hard.

    Was a footy act until he turned his body when the ball went passed. Then it became careless, high and severe.

    Unfortunately, I've had to endure an entire morning of listening to Collingwood supporters aggressively going on and on about how there was NOTHING Maynard could have done to avoid what happened. One even claimed it's not his fault that Brayshaw has concussion history and if it was anyone else they would have just gotten up and played on. Claims that Maynard is the victim here. Hope I get through the day without going Walter Subcek at work.

    I heard some of this [censored] as well with the so called [censored] host supporting them and killed the stream immediately.

    That's the last time i ever bother.

    Ever since Hutchy bought it out it's a paid AFL mouth piece so what you hear on there will also be the likely narrative at AFL HQ.  They're just parroting similar rubbish.

    My gut feel from the Collingwood lead MRO ....

    "An unfortunate incident.  Nothing he could do.  Cleared to play"

    or a suspension later cleared on appeal as per the above

    MRO (pies premiership player)  will likely flick this straight to the tribunal. 

    The AFL then has loads of time to figure out how to get him off or at the very worst a 1 week suspension misses prelim only.

    Brayshaw was stretchered off the ground.  4-6 weeks suspension for a small club player.

    I'm in the camp where accidents will happen on the footy field, but this was avoidable. The camera shot behind Maynard is damning. There was no reason for him to brace on contact. He was in no danger of being injured by a collision with Gus, if he just kept his arms up or straight ahead.

    The correct penalty should be minimum of 4 weeks, but we know how the MRO and tribunal chook lotto works. He'll get off.

    Brace for what impact??? Brayshaw was defenceless. Maynard had the option of not rotating his body and simply land.

    Or using his hands to catch or deflect Brayshaw rather than drop the shoulder

    Maynard bunches up after the smoother. He just needed to put his hands out and push into a Brayshaw and both would have been fine. You can see he has the time, because Mitchell runs by in the same footage at speed and puts his hands up as the contact happens.

    This is damning vision. He wanted to make sure brayshaw got hurt. What an absolute thug

    This is how I see it, 

    Arms out, softens the blow, would lessen the blow whilst still offering an element of protecting for both players. 
    Turns the shoulder, endangers the opposition player, only one outcome given the momentum 

    Still see him avoiding a ban though

    How can you see him avoiding the ban when you just said he had another option?

    Hard to read this...how shattered he is but then talks about how innocent  he is.

    Maybe taken out of context but all the pundits defending him too gives me the s12ts. So any one can smother by launching themselves 4ft in the air at breakneck speed ( lucky it wasnt) at a player with their arms in tge air and land by completely taking off the head of an opponent. 

     

    Even with tge benefit of doubt how can this act not be negligent. How could one not think it may be dangerous?

    If the afl is one percent fair dinkum about head injuries he will get a minimum of 3 weeks. No ifs and or bits. And Richo can go and GS.

    This rubbish about it being simply an attempted spoil with an unfortunate accidental outcome.  I have never seen a spoil with that outcome before.  I don't mean the concussion, I mean the front on contact with the player.

    The AFL is a mess at the moment. I am finding it harder and harder to watch every week. Maynard should get minimum three week but I will not be surprised if it does not even get sited.

    it's my opinion that he had another option but others may vary, personally I think he deserves a suspension but at the end of the day I don't have a lot of faith in the system.

    Seriously, from what.

    Gus was in the act of kicking the ball, he was wide open.

    Maynard was in no danger and took a cheap shot.

    Maynard acted with the instinct of the self confessed white-line-fever player that he is.  His instinct would of had him acting very, very differently if it had been Nick Daicos there in an intraclub game.

    He's my tip  so that you carry on disliking me

    Guilty careless, severe;2 weeks or whatever the rule says.

    Appeal because now there is this  "football act" invention

    Overturned  on appeal free to play

    All that is in doubt is whether is a speedy process or it takes to the Thursday before the Prelim

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
