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! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

    • 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?
