"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."

That's going a bit far.

No collision, WOW. From the enforcer,  LOL.

If he followed the ball, and Gus falling a bit right, he wouldn't have done his job (to hurt).

    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.

    I was actually going to say that recently. We praise cricketers for this skill, having someone running down and bowling a million miles an hour with a split second to decide what you're going to do. It can be done.

    Where was the arse6ole expert?

    Ihle (Pies) says there are .56 seconds between the moment of jumping and the moment of collision.

    Melbourne kicked 3 goals in that time in the '21 GF

    Bang, bang, BANG!

    Decision about to be handed down. Maynard has been cleared although Gus has been given 3 weeks for recklessly hitting Maynard's shoulder, especially when he already has shoulder issues, it's quite lucky he was able to play on.

    Watch the side angle again.
     

    I’d love the biomechanics expert to explain how Maynard is tucked up with his shoulder leaning in as the ball is kicked, but Brayshaw has time to pull both arms in front and try and push off.

    If there’s not enough time for one, there seems to be for another. This is hot garbage.

    So yep, roughly .25 of a second to not only react but play the shot from a fast bowler.

    Why get the biomechanics bloke in if you’re effing lawyer is trying to justify Maynard’s body movement?

    Fmd. What a [censored] show.

    So it's all Gus' fault now? Think Maynard owes even more flowers and wine after the tribunal.

    True, mate. If the lawyers on here are out of the loop, we can just speculate.

    image.thumb.png.4868b93dd94bd84745cae64d105b1396.pngSure. First and foremost being "jump off the ground with some sense of awareness and control of their body and surroundings." I learned to do that when I was 5.

    I’m not wasting anymore time on this cluster-[censored]. I should’ve known better than to cling on to a little sliver of hope that justice would prevail. So disappointed and angry… but not surprised.

    it is what it is, there was no intention to bump prior to jumping off the ground, im ok with it apart from the fact brayshaw was knocked out, whatever happens we move on and make sure we bury them in the GF

    learned deliberations about patent lying.  What a farce.  The guy is a thug, said he'd do it in the week before, and they end up blaming Gus.  Splitting the second and pontificating clearly drivel assertions.  And oh, retire to deliberate! 

    This is just pretence.  A bit of AFL theatre, for ratings.  Nothing to do with sport, or proper skills, or duty of care, or any other valuable possibility..  

    A lifetime of caring; and MFC has worked and worked to build culture, to develop players, all this - and all our believing - and it doesn't mean jacksheeyit when the Grand Final build-up threatens to displease the biggest stakeholders.  What utter trash this all is.  Is anything going to matter, from here?  The price of entry is pretending the Emperor looks fine.

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

    Agree Sue, that is ample time. A cricket fast bowler can bowl at 150km/hr that's more than 40m/sec. The cricket pitch is half that long so the ball travels the distance in less than half a second and expert athletes are able to play the ball. Even most tail enders can.

    Ihle (Pies) has requested more straws. All of their current supply has been clutched.

    Sorry, PD, but they have set up the Appeal really well. I keep asking people on here to read the Toby Bedford decision. Nobody on here has taken me up on that. Now I get criticism for repeating myself. Why would I not when nobody listens? Read the Bedford decision FCS. Football action, fractions of seconds, live footage. Maynard will be exonerated on Appeal.    

    I'm confused, did afl close their final submissions in less than 5minutes and Pies going for an hour? Or do afl still have a rebuttal?

     

    "Gleeson: The duty of care is informed by what is reasonable, not the expectation of the remarkable. Maynard won't be found careless if we find he simply failed to do the remarkable."

    Wow, if he acted reasonable before he could do the remarkable, then he wouldn't be a concussion causing projectile. 

    Duty of care before he launched.

    If so I'd argue we smother at every turn but it's good we don't roll that way.

    • 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?

    • 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.
