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: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
