Didn’t the afl just need to prove that Maynard had other options but to bump?

    I wonder if the AFL will appeal the decision if he’s let off

    Duty of care before he launched. 

    This is the issue and where I think the AFL has stuffed up. Allowing the 'he had a right to launch' argument gives Collingwood exactly what they need. He did not have a right to contest the ball in that way, just as players don't have the right to tackle with a slinging action or bump in a way that hits a player high.

    Maynard being suspended won't kill the spoil, like some are claiming. But it will stop people like Maynard acting like a human cannonball

    No worries Gleeson! It’s open season on the head fellas!!! Have at it! Maynard yours is next bro! 
     

    If he gets off, and the AFL doesn’t appeal (with a half decent lawyer), I am done with the sport including membership. Done.

    How's the mini footy in Maynard's hand going?

    Textbook guilt behaviour.

    Don’t you see? The AFL deliberately presented a very weak case. That way, he’ll get off, which is what they want, but it will look as though they tried to have him convicted.

    They didn't even try to argue that he bumped. That's where this case is IMO - it's arguing that intent to bump doesn't mean yelling "I'm gonna bump you", it's acting in a way that results in a bump due to the nature of the action.

    There needs to be an uprising if he gets off. This is like a police brutality case right now.

    Exactly how I a feeling. My sipport for MFC is unwavering, but I'm not sure I can continue taking my family to AFL if the leaguecondones this. I already buya Melb United 3 game membership in the NBL. Maybe I'll extend that

    It’s not in the afl interest that Maynard gets off.. it’s a bad look for the game and they will want to stamp it out and not encourage it. Plenty of parents are already concerned about concussion. They need to show an example of this

    "The likelihood of a collision changed because of what Brayshaw did."

    What was that ... run in a straight line and kick the ball?

    So the filth are arguing that Gus veered slightly to his right as he kicked the ball ... that's a natural movement when kicking on your right foot (same goes when kicking on your left)

    To go to your left when kicking on your right would unbalance you (unless you were kicking the ball to the left)

    And Maynard would know that ... every footballer knows the movements

    Forgot to say I think it's still on sbs.


    I reckon he’ll get off.
     

    It’s moments like this that can galvanise a team. 12 quarters of footy. That’s all we’re asking for and left. Do it for Gus and beat them fair and square - unlike what they did to us.

    Hopefully the ones sitting on the tribunal do too, Macca.

    Exactly. They should have graded it with intent because he DID intend the KO.

    Ihle (Pies) says Maynard is Car A and Brayshaw is Car B. He notes if Car B veers into Car A’s lane and a collision occurs, it is not blamed on Car A.

     

    This has given me unsettling Year 12 maths flashbacks.
     

    wtf

    If you believe in karma like I do, then the Collingwood football club will get theirs.

    If not from us, then from someone else. What goes around comes around.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
