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.

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.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
