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.

One side of the ball says yes, the other side no

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.

Too late. We all saw and heard it. I’m happy that it was said. 

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

Except he won’t apologise. He’ll just disappear into the ether, only to return for next year’s trolling season.

I agree.  its all they have.

terrible argument though

I went to shepperd the bloke and accidently elbowed him in the head.  that ok?

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.

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
