Thx @layzie

Well written article on the broader significance of this issue and the varying perspectives different stakeholders take. 

However, what’s with the final paragraph? “Crying shame if Maynard gets rubbed out”?!!!

Did Cornes hack the Guradian?

    Concussion and CTE is the only subject where I don't feel that I have to seek a former player's opinion. It means something yes, but they aren't Robinson Crusoe on this matter. 

    I'd rather listen to health experts, like Doctors and Physicians not former players, that's for sure.

    100% and I really wish these kinds of people were put front and centre when it comes to anything like this or the Alir and Jones incident.

    Funny, I thought the same thing - Horn, whom I rate as a journalist, left me a little gobsmacked with that last bit.

    Brilliant article.

    Love this:

    ' “It’s understood Maynard is genuinely apologetic,” SEN reported. Apologetic for what, exactly? '

    This really pxxxxx me off too, is the fact that we all know about Maynard's visit to Gus. He or one of his tribe told the media! 

    He wanted to make sure it was known. What a fake.

    I think it's a very well written article. Yeah it's an interesting finish to the article but I like how he's prepared to put his personal opinion of what should happen aside for the greater good. I can't say for sure if it's the act of a thug but I do believe he needs to be responsible.

    I really appreciated the part where he said that commenting on the incident needed some restraint and nuance. Couldn't agree more, things reached fever pitch everywhere and it didn't help.

    Damien Barrett on the AFL website this morning with Matthew Lloyd says ‘we know Angus Brayshaw will miss this weekend for other reasons’.

    They don’t even want to say the word concussion. This is becoming laughable.

    Its cult like.

    Yeah it’s on Access All Areas. They are talking about who will come in and go out and he literally says ‘we know Angus Brayshaw will miss for other reasons’.

    The irony (hypocrisy) by Ch 7 playing the CTE show featuring Platten while all their AFL media pundits bow before the Pie supporter base is astounding for its brazenness. Special mention for weak boy Barrett.

    Maynard is very lucky he hasn’t been charged with intentional, severe impact and high contact.

    I believe that he intended the bump given the amount of time it took him to reach Gus. 

    His first action may have been to spoil but he then chose to bump. That constitutes intent in my books. 

    Graded that way he’d be on minimum 4 weeks.

    I haven't heard this mentioned yet, but Maynard's action wasn't even 'team-first! He opted to give away a free downfield that would result in an almost certain goal when his team had already established momentum. Irrespective of whether his actions ended in serious or minimal contact, he was hell-bent on making front on contact after the ball had been disposed of, which was always going to be a downfield free. A selfish and unnecessary action!

    I have been consistently saying how bad Barrett is. He idolises Geelong and he hates Melbourne; he is also an all-round [censored].

    I see I have no support on this thread so I shall desist. I hope that the Tribunal sees the footage from all angles. As a retired lawyer, I think that must absolve Maynard from any penalty. But, as has been pointed out by deep thinkers on this thread, the Tribunal's decision may be political - not fair to player Maynard but politically correct.

    But you don't desist. You keep saying the same thing - obviously a very deep thinker.

    In future if Maynard gets off:

    - every player can launch themselves late into the air to smother

    - not be anywhere near the ball

    - not have time to turn their body

    - hit the player in the head

    - and take out opposition player

    - no punishment

    - as it’s a footy act!

    A joke, total BS!!

    At first I thought that he would get off but thinking more about it over the last few days I believe he will get 3-4 weeks. Your points above are correct. it cannot be allowed to be approved as a football act. The ramifications of that would be disastrous

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
