    So you mean to tell me it’s acceptable to jump at full pace at a defenceless kicker, knock them out and say it’s just a ‘football act’? 
    laughable 

    If you read my post properly you would realise I am not saying that🤔. 

    Hearing that a certain AFL tribunal member who will unlikely participate in the hearing itself saying it’s a straight forward 3+ weeker.

    Good points, however - Maynard has form here and had other options and we know he had a duty of care. He’s a buffoon and if he wants play like he does, he has to wear the opprobrium. God imagine if this had been Greene on Daicos. The media would be baying for blood. 

    And here's me thinking Pies would play fair in the qf.They live up to their moniker.

    Can't believe this thread.

    It was an honest footy action, fractions of seconds of time to make decisions.

    I saw lots worse in my playing days (long ago). 

    What would Maynard's coach and fellow players have said if he had shrunk from the contest?

    It is a contact sport FCS !!

    I am ashamed to be a demonlander when reading some of the posts on this thread. 

     

    Well put Trev

    Fractions of a second and I don't believe there's any malice. Much worse when I played

    I hate the fact that Gus is suffering another concussion & only hope he can get back for the Granny

    I want 6 weeks suspension for Maynard, which will send the Filth into meltdown

    That way we can wrangle a deal with the Cottonwool to get him to the Dee's.


    Fractions of seconds, people.

    Fractions of seconds.

    It is a contact game.

    I am not playing the "I played and you did not" card but please consider.

    Angus had the ball and was about to deliver a potentially dangerous kick. He is a dangerous kick, one of our best. Maynard saw the opportunity to smother and committed his body. His body.

    Sometimes on the field, the mind takes a rest and the body takes over.

    I am ashamed of some of the things I did on the field, but this was a football action, pure and simple. Maynard's past history is simply irrelevant. Ask any lawyer.

    If I have to read one more post where people imply they know more because they once played football I’ll vomit.

    Just because I drew a map when I was 8 doesn’t make me a master cartographer. Making comparisons is embarrassing, and honestly, a little sad.

    Yes, let's all agree to drop that one.

    Let's concentrate on the fractions of seconds and opinions that could deny a young player the opportunity to play more finals footy. What if a Melbourne player had done the same? Would we not all be defending a pure football action? It is a contact sport.

    Nah times have changed mate, 10 years is a long time in afl , and roughness requires more discretion now. It wasnt fractions of a seconds btw... it was a tee off....

    I’m doing my best to understand the point you and the other guy are trying to make with the whole “much worse in my day” comments. Not having a lot of luck.

    So many times now, I’ve read the question: how was he supposed to make the decision to avoid contact within a split-second? 

    The argument is illogical.

    He had 2 possible decisions to make. Maintain his smothering action. Or decide to turn his shoulder which he did. Both decisions required the same split second. Why preference one decision over the other? Because he did have time. And being a filthy thug, he decided to inflict damage on Gus. It’s obvious if you ask me.

    The other nonsense argument is the footy act defence. I’ve never seen the shoulder smother ever before yet apparently it is a footy act.

    Let’s concentrate on the young man who might have to give up footy all together in the prime of his career because Maynard doesn’t know how to smother without turning his body and tucking his elbow in 🙄

    That wasn’t a football action. Maynard wanted to make a physical statement early, just like he did against Langdon last year. He stuffed it up, and he will be dealt accordingly.

    He never once watches the ball. If a Melbourne player did that I’d be so disappointed in them, just like I am with JVR’s action this week.

    Hey Ricky,

    Watch the replay again.

    You and I are both Demons but I don't have blinkers on.

    If i had blinkers on, Maynard should not get one week. I do not have them on, so it will probably be 4 weeks.

    I just think it is totally unfair to the young player. Not one of ours but a player talented enough to make an AFL list.

    But life and footy is never fair. Injury cost Garry Lyon a chance to play finals when he could have been the difference. Jim Stynes' brain fade cost Robbie Flower the chance to play in a Grand Final etc etc.

    Get over your playing days, what’s that got to do with anything 

    Have you seen the actions players are getting suspended for in the 2020s

    Get over the tough man image, l played 25+ years ago & it would’ve been a dirty act then

    How fair is it that Gus might miss not just finals but the rest of his career?

    Maynard has form. Is a thug from a long way back. Not two minutes after he smashed Gus he head-butted Viney. Ffs he made a decision to go the man. He has to live with those consequences. Consequences FAR less severe than the consequences Gus will now have to deal with it. 

    I am in disbelief that you are actually feeling sad and sorry for Maynard and comparing his suspension to players who got injured in legitimate footy accidents and missed finals. Jesus wept.

    Yet again - All year the AFL have said if you choose a certain course of action such as leaving the ground and the head of an opponent is hit then you wear the consequences because you chose the course of action. It’s that simple, everything else is distraction. End of story.

    Maynard is known for running straight lines and is also well known for a chronic shoulder condition.  He dropped his shoulder to protect himself and would repeat that reaction again under the same circumstances... that is why it in total, the incident was a pre-meditated action, -- the line up on gus, not deviating from his line, and forget the player and his head and hit him after by dropping shoulder...  all worthy of 3+ week sanction...

    • 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.
