Didn’t the afl just need to prove that Maynard had other options but to bump?

    I wonder if the AFL will appeal the decision if he’s let off

    Duty of care before he launched. 

    This is the issue and where I think the AFL has stuffed up. Allowing the 'he had a right to launch' argument gives Collingwood exactly what they need. He did not have a right to contest the ball in that way, just as players don't have the right to tackle with a slinging action or bump in a way that hits a player high.

    Maynard being suspended won't kill the spoil, like some are claiming. But it will stop people like Maynard acting like a human cannonball

    No worries Gleeson! It’s open season on the head fellas!!! Have at it! Maynard yours is next bro! 
     

    If he gets off, and the AFL doesn’t appeal (with a half decent lawyer), I am done with the sport including membership. Done.

    How's the mini footy in Maynard's hand going?

    Don’t you see? The AFL deliberately presented a very weak case. That way, he’ll get off, which is what they want, but it will look as though they tried to have him convicted.

    They didn't even try to argue that he bumped. That's where this case is IMO - it's arguing that intent to bump doesn't mean yelling "I'm gonna bump you", it's acting in a way that results in a bump due to the nature of the action.

    There needs to be an uprising if he gets off. This is like a police brutality case right now.

    Exactly how I a feeling. My sipport for MFC is unwavering, but I'm not sure I can continue taking my family to AFL if the leaguecondones this. I already buya Melb United 3 game membership in the NBL. Maybe I'll extend that

    It’s not in the afl interest that Maynard gets off.. it’s a bad look for the game and they will want to stamp it out and not encourage it. Plenty of parents are already concerned about concussion. They need to show an example of this

    "The likelihood of a collision changed because of what Brayshaw did."

    What was that ... run in a straight line and kick the ball?

    So the filth are arguing that Gus veered slightly to his right as he kicked the ball ... that's a natural movement when kicking on your right foot (same goes when kicking on your left)

    To go to your left when kicking on your right would unbalance you (unless you were kicking the ball to the left)

    And Maynard would know that ... every footballer knows the movements

    I reckon he’ll get off.
     

    It’s moments like this that can galvanise a team. 12 quarters of footy. That’s all we’re asking for and left. Do it for Gus and beat them fair and square - unlike what they did to us.

    Hopefully the ones sitting on the tribunal do too, Macca.

    Exactly. They should have graded it with intent because he DID intend the KO.

    Ihle (Pies) says Maynard is Car A and Brayshaw is Car B. He notes if Car B veers into Car A’s lane and a collision occurs, it is not blamed on Car A.

     

    This has given me unsettling Year 12 maths flashbacks.

    If you believe in karma like I do, then the Collingwood football club will get theirs.

    If not from us, then from someone else. What goes around comes around.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
