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

    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

    i know the live blog is not showing every word 

    ... but the afl counsel is coming across as very timid

    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

    All the pie fans giving the thumps up or down must think it's one of their reality  TV shows and their voting someone off.

    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.

    "I didn't see him"

    Who or what did he think was kicking the ball?

    FMD what a moron. Witness coaching gone wrong

    "I jumped straight into the air"

    More like "I launched myself at Brayshaw like a scud missile"

    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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
