    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. 

     

    Mate remember Kossi  got 3 weeks for the bump on Bailey Smith. The precedent is  there for Maynard to be  suspended.

    If its not more than 3  weeks Gil and co are should be given the a$$.

    It seems a lot of people here consider incidental contact in the air bracing for contact the same as a bump. 

    If that's how it's seen then fine. I'm thinking it will be 4 weeks with a chance to appeal and arguing his case.

    Agreed, but Van Rooyen is going to get a week or two unfortunately. He looked at McStay, went past the ball and lifted the elbow, It wasn't a heavy hit. Not sure that we can deny that either.

    But agree with your assessment on Swannie :D

    TBH Lazyie. I want this referred to the tribunal. I don't have a preconceived idea of what the suspension should be or shouldn't be, but I don't think Christian has the tools to assess it correctly with the framework that the AFL has put down.

    Ultimately it's High, and Severe contact.  The intent is the only debateable aspect here.

    I'm not denying that but no way that's a two weeker...

    The game has moved on some way since 2021 Ralphy. Throw the book at him I say.

    I would also prefer to see this sent to tribunal. Needs more judgement than a simple knee jerk 

    It appears to me that Maynard took no evasive action that would lessen the impact of an imminent airborne collision.

    The AFL must give the appropriate penalty and show they have low tolerance for reckless events leading to concussion.

    Six weeks out would be a moderate penalty.

    Strong case for a send-off rule. The incident unsettled the team for quite some time. It certainly unsettled me. We’ll never know, but the Dees could well have won had it not happened. And I reckon Mason Cox had just one aim at the first bounce and it was not the footy. Plus there was the subsequent accidental/on purpose taking out Petracca’s legs.

    It is not even similar: Maynard went AT an oncoming player, his eyes only at the player, and the ball had already cleared his outstretch hands by quite a margin.

    Duncan had his back to the North player for a start, one  arm outstreched, and he seemed to lose his balance: yep, it was 'accidental;.

    That was a chance for the umpire to assert some authority. [censored] weak

    Onthe radio after the game they said "all incidents are sent to the tribunal at this time of year" - is that correct?

    You can't have a send off rule with the quality of umpires we have. having 4 has made the problem even worse.

    All Christian has to do is say hit him with the left shoulder and it will get thrown out.

    No conflict of interest at all. Carry on

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
