This biomechanist sounds like a real [censored]. I hope the AFL is taking notes. Hes helping us more than the Filth.

3 weeks   Pies appeal biomechanist fired.

They are paid witness.

    Laughable! 

    “[censored], he was there,” Maynard said. “I was surprised he came into my way.”

    Maynard said he was looking at the football the whole time.

    Just one show look at the replay should make it a case of Bull...t, 3 weeks, stop wasting our time. Yep. 'looking at the ball the whole time? What ball was he looking at? Brayshaw's eyeballs?

    Hang on half a sec.  400 millisecs is nearly 1/2 a sec.  Any decent footballer can do things in that time.

    Looking at the running upvotes/downvotes on each blog post there is a 3:1 Collingwood to Melbourne supporter ratio.

    Please could send a link to voting, I am in a super boring conference and need to vote a LOT

    What is this evidence from the biochemist? 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?

    I demand a free-body-diagram that proves what she is claiming, biomechanics expert my a**.

    Lots of Pies also not understanding that the biomechanist didn't really help their case.

    While he said Maynard would not have had any time to react and became an airborne frisbee with legs - it leaves the conclusion, then, that he willingly put himself in a position for which he had no ability to correct, despite the risk of harm to the oncoming Gus (who despite Maynard's Neanderthal grunts indicating he didn't see Gus - which is weird from a guy who admits he was trying to smother a ball leaving Gus' boot)...

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

    And in basketball its very common. Guys a fool.

    Surely the response to the biomechanist's evidence is that he was therefore either premeditating the action or just careless in his duty of care, as graded.

    If this [censored] gets off, the AFL are essentially rendering players sitting ducks.

    Yes, players act in milliseconds and he would have known instantly Gus had the advantage and won the piece of play before impact. Its really the same as a late spoil from behind. Dont worry Pies need to still play 200 minutes of footy. Who knows what may happen in those two games.

    in the appeal, the afl will have to get their own paid biomechanist to tear theirs to pieces

    My biggest questions are.

    1. While deliberation has continued, have they provided Maynard with a colouring book and crayons?

    2. Is it a Collingwood colouring book so he only needs one crayon and doesn't get confused having to choose different colours?

    I believe it’s a colouring book of words Deb Brayshaw called him on the phone - so he’ll need all the shades of blue as well.

    And if 400 milliseconds is enough to create plausible deniability, then how many other suspensions fall over?

    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.

    I did predict an expert but this is out of left-field. AFL lawyers ambushed and forced to react on the fly. Appeal points galore.


    Of course ... Gus should have had one of those full length training pads that the trainers use to protect themselves at training. /s

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
