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.

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

    The fact that the media interviewed that [censored] after the game to allow him the temerity to suggest what he did was a ‘footy act’ is [censored]. 

    I agree

    laura Kane should be pulling these [censored] wits into line

    Cant see him being fit when we make gf

     

    Well Laura Kane had earned her money already. It looks like if it were left to Christian Maynard would have walked. Just wait and see Collingwood throw injunctions around with abandon.

    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!😁

    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.

    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+

    Is that true. ?

    If so great start. But was mro considering nothing to see here

    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 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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
