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

Love Zeets so much 😁

    Quite diffferent. They were contesting the ball.  May still be worth a penalty but nothing like the present case.

    I know they are different, I was just pointing out that Viney has jumped off the ground in a very dangerous manner in the past. The earlier poster suggested Viney would never do such a thing. 

    Anyway, I await the tribunal decision and hope the Thug gets 3 or more weeks. My ongoing support of the AFL may well hinge on this outcome.

    If Maynard gets off, he legitimises every player from this week on trying to smother and then dropping the shoulder into the opponent's head. He will have set the precedent for others to follow. AFL need to be very, very careful

    The thing about witnesses and lawyers, is that ultimately the evidence, no matter if it is/isn't coached, ultimately it still needs to be delivered by the witness.

    I don't want to be mean, but Maynard is not a very smart man. Counsel would know they're pushing up hill with his testimony.

    I say the more he talks, the better - let him talk :-)

    Remember he has been with lawyers all day coaching him. 

    Don't reckon he is a good student

    Woods (AFL): This type of contact isn't common. Leaping forward in the air with force to an opponent running in the opposite direction holds a key risk of badly injuring their opponent. It's a dangerous action to undertake & it breaches the duty of care owed to the other player.

    Doesn't have to be a smother, could be trying to intercept any disposal. Straight line the ball, and hope they try and dispose of it, as they launch themselves into the ball user. Not a bump, but the ball was what I was hoping to get. No one will won't to get the ball, stuffs the game as chasers have been given huge incentives.

    Looking at the running upvotes/downvotes on each blog post there is a 3:1 Collingwood to Melbourne supporter ratio.

    "I didn't see him"

    Who or what did he think was kicking the ball?

    image.thumb.png.5044569044f130360bd0719a467f3eb7.pngThis is a dumb line of reasoning from the AFL here IMO. To me the issue was it became a head-high bump when he failed to successfully smother and hit him high with his hip. Everything else is secondary.

    He put his foot in his mouth.

    He did not take any duty of care into that football act.

    "Ihle (Pies): Did you consider at the time Brayshaw kicked the football he was in a vulnerable position?

    Maynard: No."

    The outcome proves otherwise.

    Duty of care is the main aspect of this adjudication.

    • 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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • 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.
