Maynard must get at least four weeks


leave it to deever

image.thumb.png.318caa9f14f410bb9bd76a2cae9972ea.pngThe biomechanist seems to be proceeding on the basis Maynard didn't know Brayshaw was there. That's false at the least, and indicates recklessness at the best. He's smothering the ball from front on - he has to know where the kicker is and therefore has far longer than 400 milliseconds to react - his "reaction" is the smother - seconds worth of time to plan and execute.

This seems strange. It's a known human reflex to put out your arms and hands to break your fall. It's not a reflex to rotate your hip in the direction of the player you're hitting. That Maynard didn't put out his hands indicates some level of conscious reaction. In fact Maynard even admitted he saw Brayshaw and knew he was there.

I accept Maynard may have not acted consciously in remodelling himself as a cannonball. In that case, he did so instinctively and that instinct needs to be re-trained by disincentivisation.

it actually could bode well for us, if he had no concious time to reposition his body, then he conciously made the decision prior to jumping off the ground that he was going to make bumping contact with the player, whom he got head high

That's a very good point if the AFL lawyer has the sense to make it.  Since we can all see he did turn his shoulder, but the biomechnist said he wouldn't have time to change anything, then he must have premeditated it.  But I fear the AFL will say clear of premeditiation.

Your way? Can't imagine that helps.

Maynard: That incorrigible Brayshaw chap ran straight  into me after kicking the ball.

Curious as to what 'research' the biomechanist is referring to.

Must be, decision within that period of smother to impact, cannot be conscious. 

I would argue for the 2 seconds leading up to the acts, that premeditates the movement. He consciously wanted to hurt and prepared his body to execute.

Great point, Chook. Yes it is a reflective action to put your hands out to cushion a fall. It’s the same thing as involuntarily closing your eyes when something is flying towards them.

Damning to say the least and it's Maynard's witness

Frisbee... More like a 90kg missile.

So he was careless in turning himself into a projectile with little control of his body.

Probably the stuff they googled in the back of the Uber on the way to tribunal.

The Pies lemmings are in full force on twitter, saying the biomechanist is 'cooking'.

These guys are drongos. Wouldn't have read a damn thing of any educational value in any of their graceless, sad sack lives. abut  all of a sudden, an 'expert' fitting into their agenda is 'cooking'. They are all for science now (unless it concerns concussion). 

Righto.

That’s nonsense - in other sports you can alter position while airborne e.g. diving, gymnastics, trampolining

At the end of the day, he chose to jump forward into the player to smother.  He could have jumped sideways toward the ball not forward toward the player.  That is the definition of careless right there.

Having said that, I bet he gets off, the AFL love Collingwood and hate Melbourne

Have we all forgotten this? Long time ago, granted.

I'm not condoning these sorts of actions and I will be happy to see if the AFL has evolved to stamp thus sort of stuff out of the game. 

 

As the commentator said: it was a 'square up' for an earlier incident on Viney. These are precisely the acts of brutality which need to wiped out: hence Maynard's case should be the line in the sand : NO MORE!

What is this evidence from the biomechanist? The game is played in milliseconds. Players turn opponents in tackles, dodge opponents when their head is down. They’ve even learnt to drop their shoulders when anticipating contact. I’m sure lots of elbows have been raised within 400 milliseconds as well. But no, the players are seemingly not conscious of their decision making?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
