Further to the above, the tribunal members are strongly intimating that Gus shouldn't have moved to the right in the kicking action but that natural movement is all that he could do

They have to appeal just on that vital piece of information.  But here's the problem ... some people who have watched the game for decades don't understand the biomechanics so will those high up at the AFL know that the biomechanic's info was flawed

Let me guess, should have zigged instead of zagged?

Righto.

    I’m confused about the conflicts of interest here - these have been laid bare through Christian’s conduct and Gleeson’s concern for a player potential missing finals, noting Gleeson is apparently a Collingwood supporter. Oughtn’t our club be raising these concerns?

    We need to uproot this type of behaviour on the field.

    Why not ? Its rewarded?

    Yes but i doubt they will as all clubs have their head in the trough.

    Nothing will change unless the club's stand up and shout.  Which they won't. 

    They all just fall in to line behind the Circus master.  Same with most of the media morons.  They know who butters their bread.

    Yep, AFL is sending a clear message here that for all wannabe thugs, forget boxing and MMA, footy is the game for you. You get to smash heads from up high just like Randy Macho Man Savage off the top rope. Look out!

    Oh ok so we insult someone with a different view, how mature of you all.

    There is a lot of viewing through red and blue glasses here. I guarantee with 100% accuracy if it was gus jumping into Maynard all of your opinions would be reversed. I hate Maynard and think he is a dirty player but in this instance I don't not believe there was malice. I also don't believe either player is to blame hence the football act.

    Don't know why I am bothering as you all will only see it 1 way. Next time I'll keep my opinion to myself so I don't get jumped on for having a differing one.

    Red it wouldn't have mattered what Mayfart said...

    The circus act was already in play as soon as the siren went.  He was always getting off.

    It was just a matter of how and then coming up with the script / screenplay.

    Maynard seems to be saying he 'smothered' a phantom ball, kicked by a phantom who disappears the split second after the kick.

    Well, in the end, if the tribunal has a modicum of sense, they would have realised that Brayshaw has no choice but to move to his right when kicking

    It seems to me that Maynard was found not guilty on a technicality when an overall technicality should have incriminated him

    We only got half the story on the biomechanics

    Only if youre a 'name player' from a big club like Carlton  Collingwood Geelong or Richmond.

    Cripps high impact concussed opponent....cleared to play

    Maynard high impact almost broke Brayshaws neck.... cleared to play.

    AFL went after Toby Green and piled on the weeks.  GWS? a zero club.

    Melbourne players will get suspended if they rough up Carlton.

    AFL is totally corrupt.

    What has malice got to do with it? Do you think all playing outside the rules is based on malice? Wow. Lets just get a cold hearted recruit with a clinical violent streak to create damage and defend him by saying he is not malicious

    Really disappointing to read some of the responses to @AzzKikA take.

    Just because he has a different view on the situation doesn't mean he has to be blasted or put down for having his own opinion, purely because he doesn't have his rosy red and blue glasses on. He's just looking at it from a broader sense. 

    You dont have to agree with his take or any other, but then when you're reading some of the personal insults last night directed even at @BoBo in my head we're no different to Carlton and Collingwood supporters.

    I'd rather talk about how we beat Carlton on Friday night..

    i agree that he didnt have malice, however i think he could have protected gus more by opening his body up instead of dropping the shoulder. i think it was careless. it would have been awkward and they would have gone for a tumble but he could have done more to alleviate the damage so to speak. imho.

    Why does everyone keep harping on about malice? It has nothing to do with it. You carelessly jump towards a player and turn yourself into a projectile resulting in a severe head injury, you should get rubbed out.

    If one of our players was to do this, I would be disappointed but fully expectant of due punishment.

    I think it was Mundy that said if it was Pendlebury and not Gus, Maynard would have had a different approach to his fall and no one would have been concussion. 
     

    There is definitely a level of malice to Maynard’s action. 
     

    Good logic and view from Mundy!

    Everyone's entitled to their opininion and i respect yours.

    I also put weight on the Brayshaw family's opinion. This isn't their first Rodeo but they haven't been outraged like this before.

    I thin’ there was a lot of emotional posting last night Dazzle. Therefore most were not their usual selves. I didn’t read anything that was out of hand.

    And this is the absolute Ludicrous interpretation which got this thug of!! What did he jump at ??? A bloody Shadow? Hows the line, I didn't know he was there! Well why jump you meathead!?? Totally flawed logic here. Surely the AFL MUST appeal this and if not, just wait and watch the carnage unfold when blokes line those that are in process of kicking or handballing get absolutely poleaxed !

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
