Nice.

And very pleased for Angus and those around him.

(Though, 'someone'?!)

    Doesnt matter whether anyone can launch a case in favour of Maynard or not. 

    Imagine if May or even Joel Smith crashed into Daicos knocking him unconcious in exactly the same action as Maynard. The TV and radio commentators would be going nuts and demanding it go straight to the tribunal. The media would be screaming for blood right up to Tuesday night .

    Bang!  4- 6 weeks.  Season over. We wouldnt appeal.

    AFL made no serious attempt to suspend Maynard and no appeal.

    Afl is a rabble propped up by corporate media. Loath them.

    Just saw something from Sam Edmund saying medically Gus is ok and plans to complete pre-season as normal.

    Did anyone else hear this?

    "I spoke to someone a week or two ago, I got a pretty good grasp on Angus Brayshaw. I'm told neurologically speaking, medically speaking, expert speaking, it's largely okay. He's been told everything he has wanted to hear, there is no additional cause for concern.

    He's on a break, having a rest, playing golf and planning on coming back and resuming pre-season like all of his teammates when that time comes. There is no cause for concern at the moment with Angus Brayshaw."

    - Sam Edmund

    Great news!

    His leadership and off field stuff are as important as his great on-field play

    I had a word with my mate this morning whose son plays with the Pies. The young bloke has to undergo extensive testing by the AFL (due to numerous concussions) before he can resume his career. My friend was talking with Mark Brayshaw. Apparently Gus also underwent the testing procedure and has been given the all clear.

    I’m not sure about young Nate. Ten concussions and it took him a couple of days to recover from his last knock.

    Very good news, we need our leaders.

    A large deal of assumptions in that which  reveal more about your opinions than anything else factual

     

    Still it's probably  pretty close to the truth.

    I think Maysie would've get off on appeal and assumed that Maynard would also.

    The AFL is a cowardly disgrace for not completing the process

    No way any Melb player gets off for the same high impact.

    Pickett got 2 weeks for crashing into Bailey Smiths torso only in R1. Smith got straight back up and ran off and played a decent game for the doggies from memory.

    Brayshaw was unconcious and stretchered off with medical staff after high head impact. Maynard cleared to play.

    And if not finals time, he would have been suspended without any doubt. No one would have blinked an eye.

    If Viney, May or Pickett did that to Pendelbury imagine what they would a copped.

    No matter how tough you are in Rules, anyone who does that sort of hit will be looking around for a few years afterwards, just in case there is a new bloke maybe with a name like  Cantona around.

    I just wish Pickett was a little more vigorous against Cripps and really put him out as we would a won that game last year. All credit to Cripps for his game. Great game by him..

    I actually think it's also one of the reasons we're not letting Oliver go.

    Really Other than he is our premier inside mid with 4 BandF ‘s and a million other accolades. You can’t be that serious we were really going to clear Clarry unless he Indicated he wanted out and he didn’t. That’s what has happened in reality.

    Harmsey struggled to play as many games in 2023 as Clarry and was available for most rounds other than his self imposed 2/3 games he missed for personal reasons. Clarry missed 10 due to his injury and rehab misfortunes.

    Hey, just noticed your fav players list. Maybe it's time LJ gets the boot and substitute Big Carl or Robbie.

    All too late, but I was surprised that the biomechanical evidence wasn't challenged. 

    Sure, once he had left the ground, his trajectory was ballistic, and he couldn't alter it. But actually, the trajectory of his centre of mass was ballistic. He was perfectly able to reconfigure his body around that centre of mass - he chose to go into a bump configuration. He could have done otherwise. 

    NRL has eliminated the kicker being flattened like Gus was. 

    That "expert" evidence was inexpert. And barely challenged. Maynard's intent was to collect Brayshaw.

    Luke Jackson helped win us the only flag we've ever won in my lifetime, so that puts him in my favorite MFC 22, but agree Jurrah was bloody incredible to watch.

    Ironic if Murphy is forced out of the game and The thug Maynard continues without any penalty other than sleepless nights. And rejection from the Brayshaw family and Angus etc. 

    Main thing is that Angus looks as though he is ok snd able to choose to start training on time if he wishes.  Naturally that means he has passed all tests and life is fine again from all angles and a clear road ahead,

    Our AFL lawyer was hopeless and did a disgraceful job in representing Angus. If the biochemist guy says you have 0.45 seconds to change your position stands to reason you have even less if you are going to be attacked. That removes any responsibility for Angus "changing lanes " that was ridiculously stated. It was a natural movement after kicking the ball. 

    No challenging indicates AFL was half hearted and no cross examination of Pies legal advocate who made some outrageously incorrect statements that should have been challenged.

    My understanding is the AFL ran the case and their lawyers had no right of reply and/or were very limited in how they could respond to the outrageous claims by the COll camp.

     

    Whether this was by design or how its done I don't know.

     

    And certainly having a well known Collingwood supporter as the Tribunal Chair was a ridiculous conflict. It all added up to the AFL wanted Maynard to get off

    The thing is, if you look at Murphy's incident in the grand final, Maynard collided with him first.

    Was not commenting on Maynard and Murphy. That was a real footy accident.

    irony is that a Pie may be forced out of the game and Angus is free to choose to play on or not. 

    The fact that  as it was Maynard also with Murphy is now another ironic part I was not centred upon.

    Possible Karma for Pies ( totally Unlucky for player Murphy who we hope makes a complete recovery ) from a footy accident when the other incident was not an accident IMO.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
