I do have serious issues with the arrogant ignorant. 

So how do you live with yourself then Polly?

That's my concern

So Maynard knows that Brayshaw will veer slightly to his right as he was kicking on his right and lined him up accordingly

Basic footy 101 and as you said, Steve, the tribunal members need to know the natural movements

Except not according to this…

“Ihle (Pies) says many players who kick the ball at full tilt with their right foot go off to their left, rather than their right as Brayshaw did.”

He’s saying the exact opposite, Macca. Am I missing something?

I don’t understand.

I hope they zero in on that stutter step and question it

Yes, it would be good if @Ouch! was one of the tribunal members as he enlightened us on the stutter step

This seriously can't be our medical report? Adelaide buried Jack Trengove in 2011 with their medical report

That’s not the medical report they sent in. It’s the medical report that they released to fans. 
They are required to send in a proper medical report. One they would never release publicly.

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. 

Theatre at it's incredulously absurd.

There is nothing about fairness or accountability.  It's all about smoke, mirrors...i.e optics.

Just think why it takes 4-5 years of study to become an apprentice lawyer.

Yep. Reminds me of Jean Giraudoux

There is no better way of exercising the imagination than the study of law. No poet ever interpreted nature as freely as a lawyer interprets the truth.

He's lying

For anyone out there ... find an open space at home and run and then feign to kick on your right foot

In the kicking action you make room and veer to your right slightly(to kick the ball straight (ish)

Now for the 1 hour deliberations 

All show..

Decision made days ago 😉

I don't think it'll matter. They'll just appeal and appeal and get an injunction until October

Serious question, can they get an injunction until after finals? Has that been done before and will a court of law in Australia intervene in this manner?

I would like a real lawyer to answer this Rollo… @Redleg?

time for the committee to go off and have a few beers for a few hours make it look like they are discussing it when in reality they have probably already decided that his is innocent What is truely disappointing is that so many commentators and other football players are saying there is nothing wrong with this. is that the way they feel about sling tackles no, this was far worse than a sling tackle.

 

It's like a proper golf shot ... hit it out to right to draw the ball back to the left

At my ripe old age I can still kick a footy with a draw and to do that you have to veer slightly to the right in the kicking action ... the foot goes slighty to the right working it's way to the left on the follow through

A lot of players kick the ball like that including Gus.  He can also kick on his left drawing the ball back to the left (his left is more of a hook but not too pronounced)

I saw a dark horse in GWS up-and-coming, they might be capable of knocking PA and the pies out of the finals series. Just be patient.

Yeah nah the good ship HMAS Patience has sailed. Folks on the dock waved their handkerchiefs (why did they even do this?) and it’s long gone.

Of course I’d love to see that team of reprobates crash out of the finals. But that has nothing to do with this injustice.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    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.
