    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. 

     

    Mate remember Kossi  got 3 weeks for the bump on Bailey Smith. The precedent is  there for Maynard to be  suspended.

    If its not more than 3  weeks Gil and co are should be given the a$$.

    It seems a lot of people here consider incidental contact in the air bracing for contact the same as a bump. 

    If that's how it's seen then fine. I'm thinking it will be 4 weeks with a chance to appeal and arguing his case.

    Agreed, but Van Rooyen is going to get a week or two unfortunately. He looked at McStay, went past the ball and lifted the elbow, It wasn't a heavy hit. Not sure that we can deny that either.

    But agree with your assessment on Swannie :D

    TBH Lazyie. I want this referred to the tribunal. I don't have a preconceived idea of what the suspension should be or shouldn't be, but I don't think Christian has the tools to assess it correctly with the framework that the AFL has put down.

    Ultimately it's High, and Severe contact.  The intent is the only debateable aspect here.

    I'm not denying that but no way that's a two weeker...

    The game has moved on some way since 2021 Ralphy. Throw the book at him I say.

    I would also prefer to see this sent to tribunal. Needs more judgement than a simple knee jerk 

    It appears to me that Maynard took no evasive action that would lessen the impact of an imminent airborne collision.

    The AFL must give the appropriate penalty and show they have low tolerance for reckless events leading to concussion.

    Six weeks out would be a moderate penalty.

    Strong case for a send-off rule. The incident unsettled the team for quite some time. It certainly unsettled me. We’ll never know, but the Dees could well have won had it not happened. And I reckon Mason Cox had just one aim at the first bounce and it was not the footy. Plus there was the subsequent accidental/on purpose taking out Petracca’s legs.

    It is not even similar: Maynard went AT an oncoming player, his eyes only at the player, and the ball had already cleared his outstretch hands by quite a margin.

    Duncan had his back to the North player for a start, one  arm outstreched, and he seemed to lose his balance: yep, it was 'accidental;.

    That was a chance for the umpire to assert some authority. [censored] weak

    Onthe radio after the game they said "all incidents are sent to the tribunal at this time of year" - is that correct?

    You can't have a send off rule with the quality of umpires we have. having 4 has made the problem even worse.

    All Christian has to do is say hit him with the left shoulder and it will get thrown out.

    No conflict of interest at all. Carry on

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
