If Maynard is cleared it sends a loud message to the mothers of Australia: don't let your sons or daughters play Aussie Rules, the code that couldn't care less if they get their head smashed and hides behind legal technicalities to protect offenders.

    While he said Maynard would not have had any time to react

    He seemed to have plenty of time to turn his body and bump.

    If he had no time to react he would have run straight into Gus with his arms  up in the air trying to smother.

    image.thumb.png.d851da26746ee9d3d1756ab4930ad6fc.pngThere was a decision to bump. The moment Maynard left the ground, there was no other outcome. Like when you throw a frisbee once it has been thrown there's no taking it back.

    Ihle (Collingwood): When you look at how far forward the jump was ... it's no more than one or two metres. It's one stride length.
     

    BIG difference between one and two metres, no?

    Just watched CH10 news, some biomechanics expert said

     Once he's airborne, he's essentially a projectile. He's like a frisbee with arms and legs.

    So, how did he become airborne? He jumped. It is completely his own actions that caused this event. It was a dangerous act that cannot be allowed to go unpunished. I just wish all the Pies supporters and media people would admit that you don't judge the event from the moment before impact, you judge it from the moment that Maynard decided to jump forward towards a  defenseless player.

    AFL did not argue that it was a bump, so bump provision doesn't apply. He's gonna get off 🤦‍♂️

    Sounds like the loophole has formed.

    I'm afraid of this too. I think the AFL cooked this one arguing for the wrong thing. I think they should have argued that the moment he left his feet with that amount of force and that level of uncontrollability, there was no possible outcome other than what amounts to a bump. The 'spoil' component of this has got next to no bearing on it imo.

    It was Gus' fault,,,,

    Ihle (Collingwood): Although we're not critical of anyone moving or deviating from a path, that seems to be a factor that has contributed significantly to there being a collision.

    We all know they’re leaving loopholes on the table so he can get off on appeal.

    They should play back the moment Maynard stutter steps and deviates from his path in the leap.

    Defenseless player is it.

    Acts of footy such as marking and spoiling, the players are aware of contact.

    When kicking the ball, your body is open, not much you can do to mitigate the impact. The entire collision and its outcome is determined by the one without the ball.

    Basic umpiring, protect the player with the ball, nether alone the Tribunal, as it must stamp this out.

    The Football Act....

    Ihle (Collingwood): Maynard was entitled to come forward off his player, he was entitled to jump when he saw Brayshaw about to kick.

    This is EXACTLY what I’ve been worried about. I keep getting told this is different to Cripps’ outcome so it won’t end the same way. Well, here we are.

    Can the AFL dude use this or has he said his piece?!?

    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.

    Chook, it's funny how cricketers only have less than half a second when facing fast bowling, to play or let it go, to go forward or to go back, to defend or to attack the ball. There are 3 decisions at least to be made in that time and then to execute that decision all in less than half a second. Maynard had about the same time to make one decision - do I evade him or do i hurt him? And he doesn't have time to do that? What BS.

    At the risk of being yelled at again, I really need you guys to be ready for disappointment.

    Maynard will be exonerated on Appeal. This is my best legal analysis and not shared by a second lawyer on this thread, so you should all hope I am wrong.

    Interesting

    As a prosecutor you generally prepare a list of the components you must prove to to get a conviction. AFL Counsel presumably knows what must be proved

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
