Going to leave the AFL community in mass confusion if Maynard gets cleared.

I get that it was a football incident rather an off the ball act of thuggery, but he could be held accountable for a severe impact.

 

 

It is parameter setting if he gets off

next week viney can smother 21 blokes into concussion in legitimate footy acts

and then so on

A good KC will defend that

”er sorry these are your rules established via the Maynard act.”

I might be alone here but I don't think Maynard should be suspended. If you watch the footage from the behind the goals angle, Maynard jumps forward and towards the left to smother the kick while Brayshaw is stepping directly forward and while Maynard is in mid air Brayshaw completes his kick and changes direction into the path of Maynard who at this point braces for impact.  We were up in arms re the Van Rooyen spoil earlier this year and I think the Maynard case is similar in that he wasn't trying to make forceful contact it is simply a collision between two players who were focussing on the ball.  While the ball carrier needs to be protected I think Maynard did this by jumping at an angle during the attempted smother.

Not correct. Players are required to foreshadow the results of their action. Intention or not.

Maynard did not do this. Just went for an outlandish attempt. He didn't mean to hurt Angus but the minute he chose to leave the ground as Goody referred to in presser he's responsible for outcome.

3 weeks will stand. Angus may not play again for some time.

Christian was reluctant to charge the thug but Laura Kane stepped in to effect the charge. Thank you, Laura!

Do you have any contacts within the Brayshaw family WCW? How's the guy and the family doing?

I hope for once our club sent in a scathing medical report as opposed to being the nice guys. 
Photos of Gus’ shiner, documents about his previous condition, impact to his and his family’s well being following this nasty collision.  


Bury this thug and bury his club. Hope he misses finals and it burns in his guts forever. Payback for all the cowardly thug acts he’s committed over the years, including this one that could end the career of an actually BRAVE player who plays the ball. Not the man. 
 

2nd best post of the year!😁

If that is true - 2 things 

huge kudos to Kane to overrule an obviously compromised christian. That is very very telling if she stepped in and I sense christian May well be shown the door as he well should . 

maynard will be put out for 2+
 

the CTE stuff is an insurance and liability nightmare for the afl

Here is gus, with helmet, indiscriminately mown down. They will want to set an example

you stand by your principles (and your enterprise risk management framework of which liability is a part) or you do not

Only found out where the word thug came from the other day. Really can call Brayden a thug, thugs had way more going on in their heads than him

 

Thugs, in India, were a gang of professional thieves and assassins who operated from the 14th century and into the 19th. They worked, in general, by joining travelers, gaining their trust … and then murdering them—strangulation was their preferred method—and stealing their valuables.

I was just reading about Laura Kane. She worked for the families in the royal commission into institutional sexual abuse.

Massive respect for her. She’s wonderfully articulate and as smart as they come.

The smartest Collingwood supporter to ever live

I would not be surprised if Laura Kaine does this for all decisions for finals…. Makes sense that all tribunal decisions get  announced through her, but also allows her to make a commonsense ruling to override where Christian can’t make a call.

Sorry to butt in here but I know someone close to the family and I was told today this may be career ending for Gus. There is apparently some clause in his contract re head knocks. I don’t know much more but this is from a reliable source who is very close to the family.

What Absolute Rubbish 

Maynard could have just as easily swung his body to the left to avoid a problem. He didn’t

The more I watch the replay of this act the more it shows how guilty he is and dishonest. 

He ran at full tilt at Gus without ever deviating and then launched.

How did he think he would stop or avoid a collision?

The moment he ran and jumped sealed poor Gus' s fate.

Maynard knew he would crash into Gus and is100% guilty.

I maintain four weeks.

Some of these commentators acting tough that there's nothing in it sound like they've copped too many hits themselves.

Bloody disgraceful to defend it.

Maynard should come clean and accept a punishment if he's really remorseful.  It's a disingenuous attempt to avoid suspension.

Chook, watch it again. Maynard at the last moment moves to the right after a small shuffle step. Bradshaw doesn’t deviate his direction, he leans left as the shoulder comes right at him. Not sure how you see it as the opposite? The angle brings him right into Brayshaws path.

The fact that the thug tried to use his supposed friendship with Gus to manipulate the public perception is disgraceful.

This can’t surely be it. He’s had a really good run with injuries and is playing some of the best football of his career. Can take a whole pre season and rest and get better. 
I truly hope this is not the outcome.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
