Hes been cleared, FMD. I love this club but done with the game.

I’ll join you if Martin gets off tonight as well.

[Jaded No More 68,974]

When they tell you the AFL isn’t a corrupt piece of trash organization and you want to believe them. But you can’t. 

[Blinkybill 276]

The fix is in. It’s crystal clear to me that the AFL went to Christian and said “don’t worry mate, we will send this to the Tribunal, will prosecute it for a few minutes and Maynard will get off. Christian withdraws his threat to resign.

Money talks.

 

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

Wow. The AFL can enjoy the mega law suits they've just opened themselves up to! 

[Queanbeyan Demon 6,892]

it'll be appealed - don't worry.

[Brownie 6,000]

Breathe fire this Friday boys. Please breathe fire.

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

Well that has opened a can of worms. Anyone can take out an opposing player in the guise of smothering the ball🤬

[Blinkybill 276]

What a joke.

I've lost all faith in humanity.

Maynard grilled by Chairman 

Chairman Jeff Gleeson has popped in for a few questions.

He wants more clarity on why Maynard thinks he couldn't have outstretched his arms to lessen the impact, rather than turning his body.

"I think, with all due respect, the same outcome would have happened," Maynard said.

"I feel like when I went to smother, it was a flinch reaction, and like I said, he was in my way."

Gleeson asks again why Maynard couldn't have left his arms wide open.

"I feel the same outcome would have happened because it was a collision. It happened very quickly.

"I didn't see him coming down my line. I saw him to the right of me."

If Maynard opts to be putting his arms out, there is NOT the same outcome.  That’s wrong.  

Which he essentially is saying does not matter what he was going to do he was going to flattern gus, far better that he tuck his shoulder into gus's head to save himself from getting hurt. yes i think that arguement will go down well with this mob.

I’ve turned the sound down on AFL 360. Both players called it an accident. 

[dees189227 12,432]

Well now anything's fair game. I'm staying off social media. Could only imagine what the ferals are saying 

[Guest]

This is [censored] outrageous. How the [censored] can this happen? I’m in disbelief, cannot fathom how they came to this decision. So, bring on the smother!!! It’s a free-for-all. Hope our players smother the [censored] out of every opportunity on Friday. [censored] the AFL. 

[Jaded No More 68,974]

[censored] YOU AFL

I truly hope they get sued into the ground and cease to exist. 

[DemonWA 3,936]

If AFL doesn't appeal this I'm [censored] done

[Deeoldfart 8,082]

Geez, I hope the AFL have what it takes to exercise (what I believe is their right) to appeal this decision.

[Sir Why You Little 37,239]

I am shocked, seriously. 
This will have serious ramifications 

The head is no longer safe….

This will cost the AFL $millions….

So its over to you AFL.

 

They won’t do anything. Happy to have washed their hands of it 

[Superunknown 4,225]

No worries 

Cripps better get a stack hat on.

There’s gonna be football acts all over the ground. Blokes’ heads are literally going to explode

 

 

[Macca 17,079]

The AFL must appeal the decision if they originally went with a recommended 3+ game penalty

And what a weak effort prosecuting.  It was as if they couldn't be bothered even trying
