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.

Longer this draws at the more likely it will be no case to answer for

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

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

[Deefender 232]

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.

Preparing to be disappointed. Michael Christian, former Collingwood footballer, about to make a decision on a Collingwood player playing in a GF potentially. FMD

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
