I looked down and thought sxxt he's there = Gus's fault for somehow getting in Maynard's way by the looks.

After I DIDNT smother the ball.

    Maynard said he was looking at the football the whole time.

    so he was planning on giving a hip and shoulder to the turf? and then Gus flew into his path?

    lucky these blokes are dead set morons. if this is what they are opening with it shouldn’t take long to get to 3-4 weeks

    "You were speeding in your car"

    Maynard: "I didn't know they were going to pull out, they were just suddenly there!"

    In his mind he did smother the ball which bounced up and knocked Gus out.

    Maynard reckons he touched the ball with his hand, straight out of the Marchbank textbook (it touched Marchbank's forearm if anything, and Maynard wasn't within cooee). No chance he touched it.

    Maynard says he felt the ball hitting his hand during his spoil attempt.
     

    what???? Are we in an episode of The Twilight Zone?!!


    Football act - attempted smother

    dog act - head high bump on unprotected played after the ball was played

    ill concede he performed the former if he accepts the latter

    Well that’s very easy to disprove, so if that’s his argument the footage says, clearly, the opposite.

    Tell enough lies people believe you. That or Carlton have made an offer for next year.

    Interesting that Stewie Lowe and Jason Johnson have been replaced by Darren Gaspar and Scott Stevens.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.

    Could be that the AFL is after a political decision that they know will be overturned on Appeal. Just one possible conspiracy theory.

    "Hey, people, we tried."

    Not enough questions have been asked IMO as to why the new CEO overruled the MRO's non-decision.

    At the end of the day, it may turn out that us lawyers are the only ones to come out with integrity attached. We know the lawyers will be scrapping and spinning like hell for their side of the argument. That is what they are paid to do. What everyone else is doing, what is going on behind the scenes, we just don't know.

    If he did then it was completely incidental, like the contact to Gus. 


    Find this statement had to believe:

    Maynard: After I smothered the ball, I came and I looked down and I thought 's**t, he's there'. I sort of seized up. Next thing I know he was on the floor and I was just a bit rattled myself.

     

    Maynard: I just sort of flinched and tensed up. I thought, 'Aww [censored] i'm going to miss him, damn.'

    From the transcript number 4 is all confused.

    "After I smothered the ball". Did not even get close. Later reckons he touched it.

    "Didnt expect Gus to move in the way he did". Wow, he was running in a straight line at constant speed.

    Did not know he would collide. Wow, how unrealistic.

    Could not open his arms. Wow, he could have.

    Uses the wording, football act. Gets that in quickly.

    Chairman asks if he can see him. I can see the funny side if that, but assume it wasn't intentional as a response to Gus.

    "Flinched up", the turn of his body and playing his shoulder into Gus is a flinch!

    Finishes with, "no" to a duty of care question. Was Gus in a vulnerable position?

     

    Too many instructions from the Council.

    Won't be truthful, all about the words and not reality.

    Who does he think was kicking the ball.  I feel like he is making a massive mess of this.

    Stupidity right there. Putting the blame on Gus - because he got in HIS way. The footy left Gus's foot! Either he's blind as well.

    This is laughable. Collingwood counsel must be having an internal 9/11. Could there be a stupider witness??!??

     

    Maynard's evidence has concluded. He takes a sip of water. His hair is immaculately gelled.

    Slippery little sucker

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
