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.

    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.

    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: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
