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.

“[censored], he was there,” Maynard said. “I was surprised he came into my way.”

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

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

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.

Interesting that Stewie Lowe and Jason Johnson have been replaced by Darren Gaspar and Scott Stevens.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.

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.

Maynard: I just sort of flinched and tensed up. I thought, 'Aww [censored].'
 

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??!??

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
