    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

    Except not according to this…

    “Ihle (Pies) says many players who kick the ball at full tilt with their right foot go off to their left, rather than their right as Brayshaw did.”

    He’s saying the exact opposite, Macca. Am I missing something?

    I don’t understand.

    I hope they zero in on that stutter step and question it

    Yes, it would be good if @Ouch! was one of the tribunal members as he enlightened us on the stutter step

    This seriously can't be our medical report? Adelaide buried Jack Trengove in 2011 with their medical report

    That’s not the medical report they sent in. It’s the medical report that they released to fans. 
    They are required to send in a proper medical report. One they would never release publicly.

    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. 

    Theatre at it's incredulously absurd.

    There is nothing about fairness or accountability.  It's all about smoke, mirrors...i.e optics.

    Just think why it takes 4-5 years of study to become an apprentice lawyer.

    Yep. Reminds me of Jean Giraudoux

    There is no better way of exercising the imagination than the study of law. No poet ever interpreted nature as freely as a lawyer interprets the truth.

    He's lying

    For anyone out there ... find an open space at home and run and then feign to kick on your right foot

    In the kicking action you make room and veer to your right slightly(to kick the ball straight (ish)

    Serious question, can they get an injunction until after finals? Has that been done before and will a court of law in Australia intervene in this manner?

    I would like a real lawyer to answer this Rollo… @Redleg?

    time for the committee to go off and have a few beers for a few hours make it look like they are discussing it when in reality they have probably already decided that his is innocent What is truely disappointing is that so many commentators and other football players are saying there is nothing wrong with this. is that the way they feel about sling tackles no, this was far worse than a sling tackle.

    It's like a proper golf shot ... hit it out to right to draw the ball back to the left

    At my ripe old age I can still kick a footy with a draw and to do that you have to veer slightly to the right in the kicking action ... the foot goes slighty to the right working it's way to the left on the follow through

    A lot of players kick the ball like that including Gus.  He can also kick on his left drawing the ball back to the left (his left is more of a hook but not too pronounced)

    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.

    Yeah nah the good ship HMAS Patience has sailed. Folks on the dock waved their handkerchiefs (why did they even do this?) and it’s long gone.

    Of course I’d love to see that team of reprobates crash out of the finals. But that has nothing to do with this injustice.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
