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

    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.

    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?

    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"

    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
