I swear to god if this Neanderthal gets off I’m done with football. It’s as if he was born with a dropped cumquat for a brain.

Biomechanist: I do not believe Maynard's body position at the time of impact can be considered part of any conscious decision

Why?

Not liking the biochemist at all 😩

Except he won’t apologise. He’ll just disappear into the ether, only to return for next year’s trolling season. 

at least we all will know he was wrong. :)

The biomechanist’s evidence is going to exclude any consideration of him deliberately turning to bump

this whole thing is going to turn on his decision making and his failure to take a safer path

I have a bad feeling about this

I hope we anticipated this and have someone to provide opposing position

Presumably they are saying it's physically impossible to turn the way Maynard did.  But he did.

At least we know if 48 hours we will still be none the wiser waiting on the 7 hour appeal

makes you feel better right?

This seems strange. It's a known human reflex to put out your arms and hands to break your fall. It's not a reflex to rotate your hip in the direction of the player you're hitting. That Maynard didn't put out his hands indicates some level of conscious reaction. In fact Maynard even admitted he saw Brayshaw and knew he was there.

That "expert" is paid, tainted Witnesses shouldn't count.

22 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

this

it's pretty clear he's likely to be found guilty at the tribunal

and then equally as clear get off on appeal

On what grounds?

it actually could bode well for us, if he had no concious time to reposition his body, then he conciously made the decision prior to jumping off the ground that he was going to make bumping contact with the player, whom he got head high

Biomechanist definately a Pies fan.

"Biomechanist: Based on the numbers and research, it's difficult to conclusively say Maynard would've been able to make any conscious decision to reposition his body."

So his unconscious decision was to turn his shoulder into Gus's head.

Should have premeditated it, and known that the collision would occur and be able to mitigate it based on duty of care requirements.

Because he just appeared there from the ether.

His body just flew in the air and turned its shoulder to bump by itself without any brain direction.

Wow, is this person serious?

My biggest questions are.

1. While deliberation has continued, have they provided Maynard with a colouring book and crayons?

2. Is it a Collingwood colouring book so he only needs one crayon and doesn't get confused having to choose different colours?

Curious as to what 'research' the biomechanist is referring to.

The Dutch referee, Charles Corver, was widely and rightly condemned world-wide at the time. His weak excuse was that he was watching the flight of the ball and didn't see the collision. No such excuse for an AFL player under the scrutiny of multiple umpires and TV cameras. The similarity between Schumacher's violent challenge and Maynard's is striking. 

This is typical of the Dutch who have always tried to ingratiate themselves with the Germans because they were never taught to speak German properly. ( That was a German joke, okay!.)

No duty of care, as a result of a football act.

Not addressing the issue

It was impossible to adjust because he chose to leave the ground in a manner that attracted a dangerous outcome

ie a careless act

Difficult but it can’t be excluded

he didn’t need to put his hands out as he turned to bump

The AFL needs to make some strongly-worded statement about the utter bull****t dishonesty of Maynard's replies, and hand down a more severe penalty, because of the insult to the intelligence of everyone connected with the game. Otherwise, my prediction is that intelligent people will walk away in their droves.  AFL will be reduced - thanks Braydon and Collingwood's cynical bull****t-spinning lawyers - to the irrelevant and artless nonsense of the old TV wrestling. 

Want Collingwood to be on the TV, whatever it takes?  Ok, but unless we are as stupid as they suggest (when they dish up this drivel with a straight face), we won't give a rats.  I won't be back, for one. Enough is enough.  Thugs picnic, and a TV rating extravaganza?  Is that what we are passionate about?  Psss off.

Doesn’t that establish a pattern / intent for him? They’re trained to not do that, the fact that was his instinct speaks to a deeper inclination

Actually as much as I'd like to string up Tom Browne (who I thought had given up AFL journalism) It was Tom Morris who reported this initially.

So much complexity between the two teams on this incident.  Corey as a former player, Peter Maynard the GM (or CEO) of the Casey Demons FC, as someone else mentioned Kate Hore is dating Brayden's brother too.... Then there is the whole aspect of Brayshaws/Frawleys etc....  

Mea culpa: got my Toms cornfused.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
