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.

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
