Apparently they have the same manager (Brayshaw and Maynard). If I were Maynard I would have asked my manager to check in with Brayshaw and ask whether he'd be ok with me coming over to apologise in person at x time on x day. You don't just "pop in".

Maynard should have been like George and taken a bottle of Pepsi over instead of wine.

David Mundy. 376 games of AFL 

 

“If Brayden Maynard was falling and that was Scott Pendlebury underneath him, I think he would make a different decision than cover up and just protect himself and not worry about the other player.”

When asked by Adam Papalia what Maynard should have done differently, Mundy used all of his 376 games of AFL experience when building his response.

“When you’ve jumped up and you’re in the air and there’s a player underneath you, you have the ability to almost catch yourself as you’re falling on top of them. It would have been really awkward and they’d have had a tumble, but that response has a much lesser chance of resulting in serious health concerns.”

Expand  

I think Mundy nails this, if it's a teammate he's protecting the teammate. Because it's an oppo player he doesn't have the same care and instead is happy to throw his body in. Honestly if Maynard gets off it will be the biggest disgrace in AFL tribunal history.

Let's just make it clear - if Collingwood decide to put up an appeal on legal grounds to an AFL tribunal decision that rubs out Maynard for 2 weeks or more, what they are actually signalling to the rest of the league is that "Collingwoods premiership chances and our players are more important than anyone else's getting perminant brain damage".

I know Collingwood are one of the 'big clubs', but the AFL should be putting a very hard word on them not to legally appeal the tribunal decision, as should the AFLPA.

Don't expect anything from the AFLPA.

I think we are about to hear some real s--t from Collingwood. And even more if it goes to appeal.

Just wait for them to pull out the "well he should've been off the ground as he was concussed already", or "his history of concussions means this impact is more than what it would've been with other players". 

They will stoop to every low possible on this just like their scum fans.

It was reported by the Browne creep, who is, apparently the son of the E Colli Wobbler President.

Expand  

Actually as much as I'd like to string up Tom Browne (who I thought had given up AFL journalism) It was Tom Morris who reported this initially.

So much complexity between the two teams on this incident.  Corey as a former player, Peter Maynard the GM (or CEO) of the Casey Demons FC, as someone else mentioned Kate Hore is dating Brayden's brother too.... Then there is the whole aspect of Brayshaws/Frawleys etc....

Really? I recall Jobe sooking about it and not returning the brownlow... ever. Said he couldn't find it, or something similar

Jobe wasn't "screwed", he was banned for drugs not permitted by WADA at the time and therefore could not win the brownlow. Pretty simple

Expand  

He was screwed by his own club. Pressures on him to confirm under the Hird regime would have been immense on such a young man.

I didn't mean he shouldn't have lost the Brownlow.  It was the corrrect decison, just that he was let down by people who should have cared for him was shocking.

I'm hoping if they can say that the AFL can say look at his action pregame. One is fact.

He'll go for 12+ weeks if that's the angle their advocate takes.... i.e that would suggest they have nothing.

Their fan base has bleated about that, but it won't form part of their case.

Will Angus be asked to give evidence in this case. And if so who would call him the AFL or the Pies.

Expand  

Depends on what he has to say. If he is willing to speak up for Maynard, and is medically capable, the Pies lawyers will call him. If not, the AFL lawyers probably will not. Bit of a toss up really. We would have to be much closer to the legal action and discussions to really know.

if dangermouse is still their spokesperson (whatever) they will stay quiet. he has already come out and said it was accidental (footy action), nothing to see here.

why an aflpa spokesperson  would make a statement like that before a hearing is very poor judgement

If it was an on field report, it should be the umpire giving his views on what happened.

i also haven’t seen the words ‘football action’ related to any classification.  It was either reckless or intentional (take your pick), high contact, severe impact.  That should be 3-4 to 6-8 weeks.

then, consider his words before the game about how he intended to play.

this prize low life should get rubbed out for a while.  Right, Bruz?

Nah... it's all good cos that was in his role in the media and 'commentary' on the night. We don't have conflicts of interest here Daisy! You are reading too much into it 😁

My Hatred of Collingwood has gone to another level, some of the comments I’ve heard from their feral fan base about Gus & our club has turned my stomach over

l need to stay off social media, it really brings out the worst in people

to be pedantic, they use the term careless, rather than reckless

The flowers didn't make it to a vase!

I'm confident that they will not be calling Brayshaw to defend Maynard's careless actions that could cost him the rest of the season, his career and long term health.  Joining the dots, I'd say everyone involved at mfc is seething on this.  He knocked him unconscious for 2 minutes. I hate that it needs to be a motivating factor, but if the players are not breathing fire right from the opening bounce on Friday night, I'm not sure they ever could.

Interesting that Stewie Lowe and Jason Johnson have been replaced by Darren Gaspar and Scott Stevens. Wonder how come that happened at such a late stage.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
