Angus Brayshaw almost was!

Brayden "the Thug" Maynard almost [censored] killed him!

Don't ever [censored] forget that!

What happened to Angus Brayshaw and the fact that Brayden "the Thug" Maynard never even got suspended will be one of the greatest injustices in the AFL in recent memory!

I will be angry about it for a very [censored] long time!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I will never forget what that thug did to Gus and got away with it. Now he’s a premiership player - makes me sick to the core. There is a special place in hell reserved for Maynard.

Brayden Maynard’s acquittal was a heinous miscarriage of justice by a King's Counsel that absolutely should have gone to appeal.

Maynard weaponised his body crashing into Brayshaw's head at a 45° angle with his shoulder and elbow tucked into his body whilst maintaining eye-contact with Brayshaw's head.

Maynard’s first action was smothering with arms outstretched to spoil Brayshaw’s kick.

Maynard’s second action was bumping Brayshaw head-high with his shoulder and elbow tucked into the body, causing serious injury.

If a player jumps off the ground front-on to smother, and then braces and bumps the kicker head-high resulting in serious injury, then the act of smothering is careless.

AFL Law states players can be reported for: "(vi) bumping or making forceful contact to an opponent from front-on when that Player has their head down over the football" .

The act of kicking clearly comes under this provision.

An aggravating factor in this case is the career-ending and life-threatening potential that front-on hip-and-shoulders pose. 

Not only was Maynard let off, but there is no deterrence for players from front-on smothers that risk serious injury.

The verdict shows that the AFL is not taking reasonable precautions to ensure the safety of players.

Additionally, the fact Michael Christian, the current Match Review Officer threatened to resign if Maynard was charged shows the spectre of Eddie McGuire still hangs over the AFL like Donald Trump in US politics.

ROTTEN TO THE CORE.

If we can't shut this thread down can we at least change the title to past tense?

No one agrees with what happened, and there are other things to focus on.

Well this thread should have been permanently shut down here as you stated.

To leave this open is now simply rubbing salt into the wound now that Maynard has a medal around his neck.

Mate calm ya [censored] farm. Seriously, I get it's hurting watching Maynard win a premiership medal but spewing up pathetic comments such as you hope he gets hit by a bus is pure filth. Pull your head in. You sound exactly like Collingwood filth supporter.

Calls to lock this thread are misguided.  As time goes on, people will post less to it and it will start to fade away no matter how angry most of us remain. And then Maynard will again do something nasty and it will fire up again for a while. As it should.

All that matters is we know for certain now the contempt the AFL has for the MFC. McLachlan disregarded his own head injury agenda to please Collingwood and spit in our faces. No- one cared about Brayshaws medical condition except his angry brothers. It was all about poor Maynard . Did the AFL appeal the decision. Nope. Just crickets from AFL HQ.  Dont forget 2 fwds from Melbourne's depleted fwd list  were suspended during the finals. We got stiched up royally by the AFL. Collingwood is laughing at us.

Their very public support of Carlton Swans and Collingwood is enough to put anyone off AFL.

Just wait for the 2024 fixture.

It could get ugly. The MCG is not our home ground. Its Collingwoods.

Totally agree. As ive said several times we have to stop being the Mr Niceguy of the AFL.

No -one GAF if our players are jolly nice chaps. Gawn Brown Brayshaw need to pull themselves together and stop babbling on podcasts and attending kiddie events.  Theyre not social workers.

Goodwin needs to stop wearing those stupid beanies too.

He looks ridiculous.

ON these sites everything Dirty and underhanded should be brought up, especially to do with how the AFL administers favouritism to their pet Clubs.

They have opened a can of filthy worms over the past couple of years and they need to be reminded constantly of things like safety and discrimination against players

 Two or three players should have got this years Medal, instead of someone who took four marks at least by himself.

“Should’ve gone to appeal.” You’re dead right, it should’ve gone to appeal… but it was never going to. It was never a consideration. Why? Because the AFL knew Collingwood would take it to the Supreme Court, they’d engage Galbally and make NO mistake… the thug would be free to play. This is also why the AFL presented such a glaringly weak case. They never had any intention of nailing the thug, but they had to appear to be doing something about the concussion thing. The power and might of the Collingwood [censored]-swingers would see to that. As was expected, the AFL folded like deck-chairs.

Don't really care about your opinion.

This is a discussion forum and if I want to vent my frustrations then I will!

I am [censored] angry and I [censored] hate Brayden "the Thug" Maynard for his vile act on Angus Brayshaw. Especially as Angus Brayshaw could of been killed.

If it was the other way around Eddie McGuire and the rest of the scum at Collingwood would of been screaming blue murder! The fact that this thuggery was allowed to go unpunished is far worse than any mere words I type here on the Internet.

The fact that the Melbourne Football Club didn't even make a public statement in support of Angus Brayshaw and voice their anger at the AFL tribunal for not at least attempting to appeal the "not guilty" decision is also a travesty and incredibly disappointing.

I thought it was [censored] soft as butter for not standing up to the AFL and Collingwood. Talk about bias and blatant corruption! The big Clubs always screw over the smaller Clubs! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

 

Anyway, I am having a break from Demonland for a while.

I don't think its a player per se. But we do need a harder edge about us. I think its there, deep within the group, it just needs to be let out every so often.

I think it has been raised before, but is it true that the Chairman of the Tribunal , who basically dictated to the tribunal that despite all the evidence Maynard was blameless, is a Collingwood member (if not even more involved in that club)?   If so the AFL failed to address a massive conflict of interest.   No surprise at all by the way.  No wonder that at least some folk believe that the AFL may be corrupt to the core.

Yep, he’s definitely a Collingwood supporter, and doesn’t even pretend he isn’t. He’s the same bell end that said De Goey was only a ‘split second’ late when he knocked out that Eagles player - even though he had time to run past the ball, jump, and shoulder charge him in the head AFTER he got rid of the ball.

I wish the media had some bite. You can’t have such overt bias in legal decision making. It’s opening the AFL up to a mass of future claims. I hope they get sued into oblivion and someone else takes over the game.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
