Just listening to the Rush hour and JB said Angus health wise is good, but he said Angus is filty but replace filthy with [censored] off and replace that with something else. So it sounds like his finals campaign is over and he is filthy that he got knocked out so early in the game.

    If you take off your 'football is a sport' glasses for a second and view this purely as a ratings and PR exercise I'm predicting it'll go down like this...

    For the 6pm news AFL will announce Maynard gets 2 weeks.

    Collingwood will appeal, but only after the footy this weekend. All the talk will be about how they must appeal for the 'soul of the game' etc. Lots for the talking heads to chew over here and keep the dialogue in the news.

    Then next week this will carry on like a soap opera. The AFL and Collingwood will be in the news all week, and then he'll get off, or down graded to a week.

    We are only missing Vince McMahon.

    He didn't bump DrDrake he had a duty of care to protect himself.... didn't you listen to Dangerfield!!  Shame!

    Maybe I'm to old to understand the bump today, the old hip and shoulder.

    Anyone who has played the game knows it was a deliberate act done to hurt Brayshaw.Nobody tries to ligit smother without looking at the ball he is looking straight at the player.He was to quick to put his hands up to explain it was a smother to all those around him.The ball is kicked by foot thats where he should have been looking not at the players head

    Mandatory 12 day off concussion. 

    Get him back for preliminary final if we get there.

    The ball had already cleared Maynard's head after Maynard jumped and thrust himself at Brayshaw. 

    Nobody runs in that hard to smother, not even a brain dead moron like Maynard 

    His pure intention was to inflict heavy physical contact 

    Hes a serial offender and a thug that deserves a 3 week suspension

    What annoys me is the assumption by various media that it was a football act with no intention to cause injury. Who knows what the player's intention was? Supposedly they are all mindreaders. I was particularly [censored] off that Patrick Dangerfield seemed to be more concerned with asserting Maynard's innocence at length rather than showing any concern for Brayshaw's wellbeing.

    It looked to me that Maynard was genuinely trying to smother the ball but the fact that he turned his body and hit Brayshaw in the head should mean an automatic suspension. He had a duty of care and chose to not exercise it and the repercussions  were serious. 

    I don't like the comparison though with Kozzie's suspension earlier in the year. Kozzie launched himself off the ground and aimed fot Smith's head. He deserved to get suspended and it should have been longer. The reason it wasn't was purely due to good luck that he didn't cause injury.

    Keep May well away, what can he do, other than get himself reported.  A mini team meeting to show dissent resolve against Maynard's behaviour.

    What bothers me is that no one has any idea how it will be adjudicated. This is increasingly true of a number of rules. The afl love the grey areas of the game. Increase conversation and fan engagement etc. But surely with an incident like that one we should all have a pretty clear idea of what the result will be.

    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 still need to get there yet, and if they do hopefully it's against us. Won't lose to them a second time.

    One thing is for sure, the AFL app will still suck. What a piece of absolute CARP

    Do they really hold back the finding so Seven can have them on the news first.

    if I had paid billions for TV rights - I would want the exclusive announcement


    The ex players, media and AFL are playing with fire here given Brayshaw’ concussion history, the high profile of the Brayshaw family and Gus’ direct connection to the Frawley family and the Danny Frawley Centre.

    Lip service only and total hypocrisy if it involves a star player or favoured team.

    Just watched the long view replay. 
     

    He really launched at Brayshaw. Why do you need to jump at a player when smothering and not just jump straight up and down? Brayshaw was clearly going to kick before he could close space. 
     

    I have changed my mind here. He definitely had intent.

    3-4 weeks.

    if he doesn’t go. I am done with footy. I am out.

    I've been more than happy to hear sensible arguments the condemn Maynard but comments like this are pure hyperbole and are making it harder to sift through the hysteria on here. Gus had the ball in his hands, how on earth can you tell he wasn't looking at the ball?

    I feel the same way. If you recall, Hunter got rubbed out after even ATTEMPTING not to make contact. Maynard launched himself at Brayshaw way AFTER the ball had flown over his head. That's criminal assault, in my book.

    It would be worthwhile Angus Brayshaw at least considering seeking legal advice about this actually.

    Leigh Matthews got charged with assault for his act of thuggery on a Geelong player in the 1980s.

    Why not at least investgate the possibility of Brayden Maynard getting charged with assault?

    Remember that Brayden Maynard could of killed Angus Brayshaw due to his history with concussion!

    My heart goes out to Angus, his fiancé and the rest of the Brayshaw family.

    I would refuse to accept any apology from that vile dog Brayden Maynard! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

    • 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?
