Thx @layzie

Well written article on the broader significance of this issue and the varying perspectives different stakeholders take. 

However, what’s with the final paragraph? “Crying shame if Maynard gets rubbed out”?!!!

Did Cornes hack the Guradian?

Concussion and CTE is the only subject where I don't feel that I have to seek a former player's opinion. It means something yes, but they aren't Robinson Crusoe on this matter. 

I'd rather listen to health experts, like Doctors and Physicians not former players, that's for sure.

100% and I really wish these kinds of people were put front and centre when it comes to anything like this or the Alir and Jones incident.

Funny, I thought the same thing - Horn, whom I rate as a journalist, left me a little gobsmacked with that last bit.

Interesting article though at the end, he sits on the fence and mentions all the sentimental [censored] about the possibility of Maynard missing playing in a GF.

Brilliant article.

Love this:

' “It’s understood Maynard is genuinely apologetic,” SEN reported. Apologetic for what, exactly? '

This really pxxxxx me off too, is the fact that we all know about Maynard's visit to Gus. He or one of his tribe told the media! 

He wanted to make sure it was known. What a fake.

I think it's a very well written article. Yeah it's an interesting finish to the article but I like how he's prepared to put his personal opinion of what should happen aside for the greater good. I can't say for sure if it's the act of a thug but I do believe he needs to be responsible.

I really appreciated the part where he said that commenting on the incident needed some restraint and nuance. Couldn't agree more, things reached fever pitch everywhere and it didn't help.

Damien Barrett on the AFL website this morning with Matthew Lloyd says ‘we know Angus Brayshaw will miss this weekend for other reasons’.

They don’t even want to say the word concussion. This is becoming laughable.

Its cult like.

Yeah it’s on Access All Areas. They are talking about who will come in and go out and he literally says ‘we know Angus Brayshaw will miss for other reasons’.

The irony (hypocrisy) by Ch 7 playing the CTE show featuring Platten while all their AFL media pundits bow before the Pie supporter base is astounding for its brazenness. Special mention for weak boy Barrett.

The classic 'last guy picked for the team in the schoolyard' who is now desperate to be 'in with the cool kids'.

Maynard is very lucky he hasn’t been charged with intentional, severe impact and high contact.

I believe that he intended the bump given the amount of time it took him to reach Gus. 

His first action may have been to spoil but he then chose to bump. That constitutes intent in my books. 

Graded that way he’d be on minimum 4 weeks.

I haven't heard this mentioned yet, but Maynard's action wasn't even 'team-first! He opted to give away a free downfield that would result in an almost certain goal when his team had already established momentum. Irrespective of whether his actions ended in serious or minimal contact, he was hell-bent on making front on contact after the ball had been disposed of, which was always going to be a downfield free. A selfish and unnecessary action!

I see I have no support on this thread so I shall desist. I hope that the Tribunal sees the footage from all angles. As a retired lawyer, I think that must absolve Maynard from any penalty. But, as has been pointed out by deep thinkers on this thread, the Tribunal's decision may be political - not fair to player Maynard but politically correct. 

Regards to all and Go Dees,

Rollo

 

But you don't desist. You keep saying the same thing - obviously a very deep thinker.

In future if Maynard gets off:

- every player can launch themselves late into the air to smother

- not be anywhere near the ball

- not have time to turn their body

- hit the player in the head

- and take out opposition player

- no punishment

- as it’s a footy act!

A joke, total BS!!

At first I thought that he would get off but thinking more about it over the last few days I believe he will get 3-4 weeks. Your points above are correct. it cannot be allowed to be approved as a football act. The ramifications of that would be disastrous

    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.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    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! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    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.
