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.

No, not jump at Gus, jump at the ball.

If he had done that, then he would have gone across the path and lower of Gus.

There was an intention to collide as he braced, and the biomech expect, said his brace must be premeditated.

    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.

    That is exactly correct. 1000% agree. Why aren't the AFL arguing on that basis? They seem to be letting Collingwood define the argument.

    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.

    Not sure I get your point. Gus was the defenseless player. Maynard decided to jump towards him.

    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.

    Objection: speculation.

    Looks like he’s gonna get off here. That was a weak submission from the AFL. Pies defense picking it apart now.

    These tribunal hearings are some seriously braindead representations. How are these people paid professionals? I feel like a first year uni student can mount a better case than these clowns!

    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?

    Sure is @WalkingCivilWar. Every inch counts.

    Of course, Gus is the defenseless one, and ball carrier.

    Number 4 was the instigator of the collision. 

    I've always heard the umpires saying they protect the person with the ball, time for the Tribunal do do that.

    It goes how the AFL wants it to go. 
    Maybe it’s a weak case because they know he will appeal and get off. Perhaps they don’t want to deal with the fall out of suspending a Pies player ahead of finals. 
     

    In the end the AFL always gets what it wants. Until it gets dragged into a real court and the AFL loses billions of dollars.

    It is not careless to protect yourself from a hit, it is careless to hurl yourself at a player or a contest in the way Maynard did. That wasn’t really argued which I dont understand.

    They've already closed their submissions no?

    I understand fans of certain clubs can let their passion get in the way of a little empathy but caring more about whether their player gets suspended or not over the welfare of an opposition’s players health whose career might be potentially over is just sad & a tad pathetic if you ask me.

    We all love our footy but some fans need to remember it’s just a game at the end of the day.

    "Ihle (Collingwood): He's jumped off two legs. That's allowed him to jump higher and it slowed his forward momentum without completely removing it."

    Why does he want to jump higher, he needed to go right, if he was playing the ball.

    Higher, just has him coming down on Gus with more force.

    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.

    Yep, the premeditation here is all from the AFL.

    We'll go hard, suspend for 3 weeks but here's a get out of jail card under the table for the appeal. 

    Because AFL ❤️ Collingwood.

    Because AFL ❤️ controversy

    Because AFL ❤️ their broadcast partners and will protect them at all costs.

    This league is corrupt and a waste of time.

    Do not rejoice at the suspension. It will get overturned.

    They'll go through the appeals process first.

    If Maynard is suspended, and the appeal is dismissed, they will definitely go to court. Zero doubt about that.

    Very considerate of you to get us ready for disappointment.  Perhaps you haven't noticed that most people here think is he guilty but will get off one way or another.  We are well and truly prepared for disappointment without your condescension.

    I wanna meet that person whose stride is two metres in length. Must be quite the man-mountain.  

    He’ll get 2 weeks. Appeal and get 1 to play in GF. You know Collingwood will appeal to clear him with everything they’ve got.

    Ihle (Pies) says Maynard's hands go to the right, but his centre of mass does not move to the right. He says at this point a collision is "not inevitable" and "not even likely". It is Brayshaw's movement inward that changes this, he says.

     

     

    this is bs maynard literally jumps to the right

    Yes, funny about that. Politics ??

    And I ask again, why did the media shy away from asking the CEO why the MRO's decision on the day was overruled?

    What is going on the the corridors of power closed always to the unwashed?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
