Maynard has knocked 2 blokes unconcious in "footballing acts" They both should sue him. Much stronger case with 2 of them. 6 1 1
OhMyDees 1,834 Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 I want the CEO and President to come out and do a Presser to condemn the AFL and the tribunal process. Need to bloody stand up for Gus and that we don’t accept this [censored]! 5 2

I musn't be too smart - my simple view without any of the detailed evidence/biomechanics bs etc is that once you ELECT to jump, you become that missile, or flying frisbee, or whatever else they called it. I didnt see the fact he ELECTED to jump ( and therefore willingly became that missile/frisbee)anywhere in the prosecution of the case? Agree. Prosecutor was weak. Had 3-4 key points and missed them all. Careless? Yes - duty of care - if you elect to jump in the air, you expect to be an uncontrolled projectile Head high? Yes Sever impact? Yes Had options? Yes Gleeson!?! He advised they must adjudicate on whether it had been a voluntary bump? Gleeson also said Maynard was "not careless in either his decision to smother or the way in which his body formed after the smother". 2 1

If we lose on Friday, we lose, whatever. I didn’t even feel this abject despondency during our dark years. It’s taken a long time and you’ve done it by attrition but nice going, AFL, for finally breaking my spirit. Quite the feat, too; an eternally optimistic key member of the cheer squad with psychotic levels of devotion… what a scalp. This. I feel the same. Lost the will to watch the finals. Have to take a break. its just orchestrated results at the tribunal and no care for the player beyond some words. Disgraceful. 3 1
ElDiablo14 5,061 Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 Club's social media has been very quiet. I wonder if they are preparing a big statement for later today?

Honestly being a former Club President you would expect a little bit more class than he showed last night. Then again "class" and Collingwood. Nah. (Although I don't think we can't talk about having past classy Presidents!!) 3
Deemania since 56 6,810 Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 6 hours ago, Ungarieboy said: The kangaroo court would also have chucked out the hypocrisy of Maynard having the time to react to Brayshaw "veering" into his path by noticing it, comprehending the outcome enough to react with the thought procedd of thinking "[censored] he's there"; while also arguing there's not reaction time to brace for contact!!!! The act of jumping and bracing was a predetermined singular action; this is actually supported by the biomechanic person - as he stated there was no time to adjust once launched. Also if there was a report why wasn't the umpire there providing his view (something I thought they had to do) and if this was a test case then surely the AFL (tribunsl) would require evidence from Brayshaw so as to understand all aspects in making an informed decision. Under coach's instructions risking a fall guy in the process but it noticeably affected the Demons' ball distribution for a large part of the game - that role played by Gus and his entourage of teammates nearby/ahead/moving to space. It also affected Viney's game, Tracca's, Clarrie's and Max single-handedly resurrected the whole team to fight back given a reduced ball progression as set week-to-week by the team. 2

DubDee 26,682 Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 C'mon guys, I know this has been a horrible week but we have a huge game in 2 days! if we win, we have a Prelim. How much did we dream of this 10 years ago and decades prior? Not saying you can't be upset or drained or over it, just some gentle encouragement to let it go and cheer the boys on when they need it most 9 1

Gleeson also said Maynard was "not careless in either his decision to smother or the way in which his body formed after the smother". Gleeson is: 1: Obviously biased. 2': In need a patch on one eye because he is only one-eyed. 3: he needs to see an optician to prescribe the correct lens for his remaining eye. 4: He needs to be able to understand English, not the gibbersih amalgam of lies Maynard spewed - called logorrhea. 5: He believes in miracles because according to Maynard, Brayshaw ceased to exist as Maynard fell from the great height of his 'smother' attempt. 6: a pupil of the Church of Michael Christian. 3
DemonicFinalFantasy 263 Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 I don't see how a person can decide to brace for contact and not have the option to decide for a "don't argue" fend-off. If it was a team mate he was headed for and not an opponent, it would be a safe bet which option would be chosen. Duty of care for one, but not the other. 3 2

Hard ask but doable I had to apologize to a work team member when I called him the filth LOL ( he is not but his club is ) We were pretty close but will never be again he can get stuffed. Maybe I take it too seriously (have since I was 15 and now 65.) Grow up never !!!! WIN FRIDAY NIGHT PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2
Deecisive 1,709 Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 The club should lodge a protest against the extremely poor handling of the prosecution of Maynard and the obviously biased review board. Especially that bozo that sighted the decision could effect Maynard missing very important games, he was there to judge if Maynard did something wrong him missing games has nothing to do with the crime and should very have been a consideration. That was a disgrace, the fact the AFL is not appealing after all the b.. over wanting to protect players shows how the power of the purse comes first. Maynard had choices how his body reacted, he saw a Melbourne player there and went the bump no doubt about it. If he was falling towards a woman or a child do you not think he would have tucked his shoulder in and hit them hard no we would have reacted in a totally different way, he may have tried to turn, reach out and push them aside, a lot of things, none of which he did. he saw an opposition player and went into damage mode because that is the military-style training drilled into them. It was careless it was dangerous and in the end I believe deliberate because his conscious mind saw an opposition player and chose how to react, i.e. his hands were above his head when he was high in the air, his arms were tucked in and he led with his shoulder when he hit gus. I quite frankly dont know why the person prosecuting this case did not consider something like that. 7 1 2

Jaded No More 68,976 Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 No point for the club to say anything. Just go out on the weekend and play the same way Collingwood does, then present the evidence so our players walk free. 4 1
