Are they setting up for the appeal.

No duty of care is needed, when a football act is practiced. 

Except that has NEVER been the case. Duty of care has been a key argument in a lot of football acts including tackling, and spoiling.

    Only a Pies troll would ask such a question.

    Your posts on this thread have been very questionable. I am referring you to the Mods.

    At least that a step up from threatening violence.

    Very glad Woods asked this question:

    Woods: Other options that were available were he could have made a more upright jump … that's an obvious example where you could lessen impact.

    What's with the mini ball "Update: The mini rubber football is now in Brayden Maynard's right hand."?   A security blanket?  or maybe the coached answers are written on it.

    Not when marking or spoiling (JVR).

    Though this should set the presendence, as the outcome was unacceptable. I hope. Also believe, intention to hurt was there.

    Well, now I’m showing you the door, Poster Rollinson. You’re about as welcome here as Maynard was at Gussy’s on Friday.

    They wanted something in his hands so he didn't shirtfront Gleeson.

    Of course it is. 

    But Maynard was reported for this, as well as giving away a downfield free. i.e., his actions were outside the rules, so not sure where "football act" comes into it.

    Wrong, mate, I think. Witness coaching gone right IMO. Lends strength to the way I think the Pies submissions will go - football action, fractions of seconds, live footage. 

    Maynard is a perfect example why Mason Cox's mates invented the filth amendment.

    Makes the remorseful bottle of wine seem disingenuous when he blatantly lies about touching the ball. 

    Apparently when Braydon handed Gus the bottle of wine, Gus tried to grab, misjudged where it was and spontaneously hip and shouldered the bottle. The Bottle fell to the ground and shattered

    Social act. His intention was to grab the bottle, then it came out of nowhere.  Gus will visit the winery tomorrow to apologise to the grapes

    He is claiming the collision was due to a football act.

    JVR got off his offence. Duty of care was lessened in a marking spoiling act.

    I think it is a problem and this adjudication and following appeal (if) will be about football acts and the relation to duty of care.

    Over-gelled hair, a mini football in hand and no idea of his actions.

    We're dealing with a real mind here..

    Melbourne has just released a medical report: “There’s no set timeframe on when Angus will return this year, it’s based on how he progresses through the protocol and also on the advice from the experts around his concussion management.”

    Yes, Kev. I think they are. On Appeal - football action, fractions of seconds, live replay. I would guess the remorse card will not be played. It was too brazen and smacks of penalty rather than exoneration.

    Why would he retract it? Bit of honesty in this world would be super (and currently unknown!)

    That for me is the most disappointing thing.

    It will follow number 4, for a long time.

    Cannot apologise to family, as he does not contrite.

    CTE maker as an enforcer.

    Time to be a man , and apologise.

    Biomechanist: I do not believe Maynard's body position at the time of impact can be considered part of any conscious decision

    Why?

    I know it's been mentioned/discussed already, but holy hell the comments on David Zita's Twitter are obscene. 

    The Magpie army have well and truly disgraced themselves. Not that they would know what that means, or likely care. They would probably wear the label as a badge of honour.

    It's actually pretty deflating stuff to know there are such inconsiderate human beings out there. They're parents, educators, your co-workers etc. 

    Gross.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
