Hope the players are not as invested in this as we are. We still have a game to win on Friday.

I sure hope they're paying it no attention. I'm on holidays, so I've got an excuse but no sane person should be giving this as much attention as we are.

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. 

There may be a few ‘smothers’ handed out in the first quarter of the prelim.  If I was coaching I’d advise players to ‘smother’ the Daicos boys early in the game.  
A football act…

Not in a corrupt AFL it doesn't Jaded.

It's a circus that's very massaged and controlled towards producing preferred outcomes and results as we are about to witness (again... Crippa brownlow, Barry Hall...Premiership!)

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

That's my concern

So Maynard knows that Brayshaw will veer slightly to his right as he was kicking on his right and lined him up accordingly

Basic footy 101 and as you said, Steve, the tribunal members need to know the natural movements

saying maynard had no time to react also says that gus had no time to act, when Maynard came at him like a launched missile or frisby. and that is clearly not the case. Maynard seemed to hunker down and turn his shoulder into gus, so he had time to take action. he had other options, he could have put his arms out and pushed him, tried to catch chest on to him but he did not. this bull about him not bumping, how many players have been found guilty of hitting someone, raising their arm, etc and hitting someone that were not deliberate actions. its the action that counts not the aledged intent that cannot be proven. to say it was not a bump is nonsense, what are they calling it a smother. you smother the ball not the other player.

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

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

You’re right… the AFL had many valid arguments that weren’t used. Why wouldn’t they use, for example, the one to which you refer (above)?

 

edit: and the post above this one! @Deecisive brings up yet another great point that should’ve formed part of the AFL’s argument. This thread is full of compelling evidence that just wasn’t presented. Why?!!

I’m not wasting anymore time on this cluster-[censored]. I should’ve known better than to cling on to a little sliver of hope that justice would prevail. So disappointed and angry… but not surprised. 

I saw a dark horse in GWS up-and-coming, they might be capable of knocking PA and the pies out of the finals series. Just be patient.

Perhaps explains why there are so many Pies supporters voting on the live blog.

I agree. I think they’re a huge chance especially if Hogan, Riccardi and Greene and Green get off the leash. Man I’d love to see Greene Maynard Maynard in a football act. Then Cox. Rest of their team, I don’t mind. If they could take out 90% of their supporters the world would be a better place.

Really hard to get a read on what the AFL would want here. They need to disincentivise such hits as chook said, plus there’s the litigation, and I’m sure they don’t want Viney conducting tactical Maynards next week and the week like some sort of Exocet Maynard but they’d want a CFC CFC GF. Their lawyer’s arguments weren’t as clinical or forensic in their examination of options, nor did they appear to draw on other options and the training Players must receive in avoiding big hits? Shouldn’t they retain someone or have a couple of go to’s to prosecute these? Woods is a commercial lawyer first and foremost right?

The filth showing the behind the goals vision might be to their own detriment if the Tribunal members are switched on in terms of knowing the natural movements of the player kicking the ball (on the run)

2 of them played footy yeah?  Has Gleeson played?

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.
 

wtf

Particularly if car A is airborne. 
 

What a ridiculous analogy.

WTF are you talking about, I even posted the Appeal decision in this thread!! 

Not that that decision has anything to do with this one, even though you keep rabbiting on about it. You've also failed to indicate what it is from the Bedford decision might be relevant here, even though you've been asked to do so on a number of occasions.

You have some serious issues.

Mate, tell us where you got your law degree.

You actually need to READ the Bedford decision and UNDERSTAND it. Your lawyer may be able to explain it to you in kindergarten terms. 

Explaining to non-lawyers how one legal decision affects another is just about impossible. Just think why it takes 4-5 years of study to become an apprentice lawyer. Do you think they just teach us how to twiddle our thumbs?

If you are really serious, I suggest we set up a separate thread - "Bedford Decision" - and I can educate you over the next 4 months or so. Other lawyers on here may well pitch in. 

I do have serious issues with the arrogant ignorant.

It's a good analogy but flawed in its premise. Car A was the one in the wrong lane.

    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

    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.

    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.
