Maynard’s attempt to spoil GWS’ Daniel Lloyd in a pratice match was not looked upon favourably ... careless conduct, high impact and high contact and offered him a two-game suspension.

Lloyd was briefly knocked unconscious by the spoil and was diagnosed with a concussion in the aftermath.

Maynard has knocked 2 blokes unconcious in "footballing acts" 

They both should sue him. Much stronger case with 2 of them.

100% this.  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".

I’m not angry anymore. It’s worse… I’m apathetic. I couldn’t care less what happens now. 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.

The Age article quotes Eddie as saying 

“We need to get a bit of fun back into the footy,” he told us. “It’s been pretty tough this week.”

The mind boggles, what a circus this is 

Ask Gussie how tough it's been. 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!!)

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.

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

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.

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.

I just want to see Port or GWS take Colonwood out in the prelim.

Both capable.

Port could on their day but are a bit flakey defensively at the moment. GWS certainly could, very good side and currently in form!

I understand that this was a big event and a lot of emotion carried with the loss on Thursday but it’s time to move on. We’ve got a big game on Friday then we’re off to the Gabba. Time to let go the past and prime ourselves with some venom for Carlton and Brisbane cause those fkersuc will be waiting on GF day and we need to be ready.

I don't see why we supporters have to move on.  The players do, but our venting has no effect on anything (especially the bloody AFL).  If anyone wants to move on by not reading this thread, they know how it's done.

Not playing the victim, but call a spade a spade. Loud and clear the position of the club and the full support to our player.

Long has the club been trampled by the AFL and its media.

Yes just win for Gus Friday night(love to shut up Carlton work mates this week)  and dare to dream re Brisbane.  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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

100% we need to focus on Friday. A win against the Blues will do wonders for this club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
