    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...

    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

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
