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.

    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

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • 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.

      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.
