Just listening to the Rush hour and JB said Angus health wise is good, but he said Angus is filty but replace filthy with [censored] off and replace that with something else. So it sounds like his finals campaign is over and he is filthy that he got knocked out so early in the game.

If you take off your 'football is a sport' glasses for a second and view this purely as a ratings and PR exercise I'm predicting it'll go down like this...

For the 6pm news AFL will announce Maynard gets 2 weeks.

Collingwood will appeal, but only after the footy this weekend. All the talk will be about how they must appeal for the 'soul of the game' etc. Lots for the talking heads to chew over here and keep the dialogue in the news.

Then next week this will carry on like a soap opera. The AFL and Collingwood will be in the news all week, and then he'll get off, or down graded to a week.

We are only missing Vince McMahon.

Maybe I'm to old to understand the bump today, the old hip and shoulder.

Anyone who has played the game knows it was a deliberate act done to hurt Brayshaw.Nobody tries to ligit smother without looking at the ball he is looking straight at the player.He was to quick to put his hands up to explain it was a smother to all those around him.The ball is kicked by foot thats where he should have been looking not at the players head

Mandatory 12 day off concussion. 

Get him back for preliminary final if we get there.

Yep, this thread is already the Home and Away of Demonland.

The ball had already cleared Maynard's head after Maynard jumped and thrust himself at Brayshaw. 

Nobody runs in that hard to smother, not even a brain dead moron like Maynard 

His pure intention was to inflict heavy physical contact 

Hes a serial offender and a thug that deserves a 3 week suspension

What annoys me is the assumption by various media that it was a football act with no intention to cause injury. Who knows what the player's intention was? Supposedly they are all mindreaders. I was particularly [censored] off that Patrick Dangerfield seemed to be more concerned with asserting Maynard's innocence at length rather than showing any concern for Brayshaw's wellbeing.

It looked to me that Maynard was genuinely trying to smother the ball but the fact that he turned his body and hit Brayshaw in the head should mean an automatic suspension. He had a duty of care and chose to not exercise it and the repercussions  were serious. 

I don't like the comparison though with Kozzie's suspension earlier in the year. Kozzie launched himself off the ground and aimed fot Smith's head. He deserved to get suspended and it should have been longer. The reason it wasn't was purely due to good luck that he didn't cause injury.

Keep May well away, what can he do, other than get himself reported.  A mini team meeting to show dissent resolve against Maynard's behaviour.

What bothers me is that no one has any idea how it will be adjudicated. This is increasingly true of a number of rules. The afl love the grey areas of the game. Increase conversation and fan engagement etc. But surely with an incident like that one we should all have a pretty clear idea of what the result will be.

He can’t get off. 

Head high.

High impact.

Thats 2 weeks.

Intentional or accidental is all that’s up for debate, so he gets 2-4 weeks. 2 weeks is the minimum possible outcome.

Fantastic he will miss a flag!

They still need to get there yet, and if they do hopefully it's against us. Won't lose to them a second time.

The ex players, media and AFL are playing with fire here given Brayshaw’ concussion history, the high profile of the Brayshaw family and Gus’ direct connection to the Frawley family and the Danny Frawley Centre.

Lip service only and total hypocrisy if it involves a star player or favoured team.

Just watched the long view replay. 
 

He really launched at Brayshaw. Why do you need to jump at a player when smothering and not just jump straight up and down? Brayshaw was clearly going to kick before he could close space. 
 

I have changed my mind here. He definitely had intent.

3-4 weeks.

if he doesn’t go. I am done with footy. I am out.

I've been more than happy to hear sensible arguments the condemn Maynard but comments like this are pure hyperbole and are making it harder to sift through the hysteria on here. Gus had the ball in his hands, how on earth can you tell he wasn't looking at the ball?

I feel the same way. If you recall, Hunter got rubbed out after even ATTEMPTING not to make contact. Maynard launched himself at Brayshaw way AFTER the ball had flown over his head. That's criminal assault, in my book.

It would be worthwhile Angus Brayshaw at least considering seeking legal advice about this actually.

Leigh Matthews got charged with assault for his act of thuggery on a Geelong player in the 1980s.

Why not at least investgate the possibility of Brayden Maynard getting charged with assault?

Remember that Brayden Maynard could of killed Angus Brayshaw due to his history with concussion!

My heart goes out to Angus, his fiancé and the rest of the Brayshaw family.

I would refuse to accept any apology from that vile dog Brayden Maynard! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o
