I looked down and thought sxxt he's there = Gus's fault for somehow getting in Maynard's way by the looks.

After I DIDNT smother the ball.

    Maynard said he was looking at the football the whole time.

    so he was planning on giving a hip and shoulder to the turf? and then Gus flew into his path?

    lucky these blokes are dead set morons. if this is what they are opening with it shouldn’t take long to get to 3-4 weeks

    Maynard: "I didn't know they were going to pull out, they were just suddenly there!"

    In his mind he did smother the ball which bounced up and knocked Gus out.

    His arms were already outstretched ffs. He literally has to move them more to bunch up

    Maynard reckons he touched the ball with his hand, straight out of the Marchbank textbook (it touched Marchbank's forearm if anything, and Maynard wasn't within cooee). No chance he touched it.

    Maynard says he felt the ball hitting his hand during his spoil attempt.
     

    what???? Are we in an episode of The Twilight Zone?!!


    Football act - attempted smother

    dog act - head high bump on unprotected played after the ball was played

    ill concede he performed the former if he accepts the latter

    Well that’s very easy to disprove, so if that’s his argument the footage says, clearly, the opposite.

    Tell enough lies people believe you. That or Carlton have made an offer for next year.

    Interesting that Stewie Lowe and Jason Johnson have been replaced by Darren Gaspar and Scott Stevens. Wonder how come that happened at such a late stage.

    Could be that the AFL is after a political decision that they know will be overturned on Appeal. Just one possible conspiracy theory.

    "Hey, people, we tried."

    Not enough questions have been asked IMO as to why the new CEO overruled the MRO's non-decision.

    At the end of the day, it may turn out that us lawyers are the only ones to come out with integrity attached. We know the lawyers will be scrapping and spinning like hell for their side of the argument. That is what they are paid to do. What everyone else is doing, what is going on behind the scenes, we just don't know.

    If he did then it was completely incidental, like the contact to Gus. 


    Find this statement had to believe:

    Maynard: After I smothered the ball, I came and I looked down and I thought 's**t, he's there'. I sort of seized up. Next thing I know he was on the floor and I was just a bit rattled myself.

     

    Maynard: I just sort of flinched and tensed up. I thought, 'Aww [censored] i'm going to miss him, damn.'

    From the transcript number 4 is all confused.

    "After I smothered the ball". Did not even get close. Later reckons he touched it.

    "Didnt expect Gus to move in the way he did". Wow, he was running in a straight line at constant speed.

    Did not know he would collide. Wow, how unrealistic.

    Could not open his arms. Wow, he could have.

    Uses the wording, football act. Gets that in quickly.

    Chairman asks if he can see him. I can see the funny side if that, but assume it wasn't intentional as a response to Gus.

    "Flinched up", the turn of his body and playing his shoulder into Gus is a flinch!

    Finishes with, "no" to a duty of care question. Was Gus in a vulnerable position?

     

    Too many instructions from the Council.

    Won't be truthful, all about the words and not reality.

    Except you just said you didn’t realise Gussy was there til you saw him lying on the ground.

    Who does he think was kicking the ball.  I feel like he is making a massive mess of this.

    Stupidity right there. Putting the blame on Gus - because he got in HIS way. The footy left Gus's foot! Either he's blind as well.

    This is laughable. Collingwood counsel must be having an internal 9/11. Could there be a stupider witness??!??

     

    Maynard's evidence has concluded. He takes a sip of water. His hair is immaculately gelled.

    Slippery little sucker

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
