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.

    Ice skating, the amount of spinning they can generate with momentum. This biomechanics expert went to the same uni as this guy

    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

    I get the feeling he was an AFL witness.

    • 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?
