Steven May staging fine

I hate Maynard as much as anyone, but this absolutely shouldnt be staying and absolutely should be a suspension for striking.

If the strike is able to temporarily incapacitate the player then it isn't low inpact.

If striking someone like that can give me an advantage in play, by taking my opponent out, or by disadvantaging them in physical exertion and contests for the next 3-5 minutes, then it should be suspended.

    The staging part was when he grabbed his head afterwards

    And you’re surprised the AFL is a racket. The different treatment of May and St Braydyn is chalk and cheese. With an ex Collingwood player as MRO the conflict is obvious. May was disgracefully branded a cheat absolute cricket about the thug.

    Where do I contribute to paying Long's fine, absolute joke, Maynard holding his head. May was rightfully a fine, this needs one as well.

    What? Are you off your rocker: these 'taps' happen a hundred times a game. Then again, if you're an E Coli Wobbler, it's different: Maynard dishes these shoves and pushes a hundred times a game. So you're saying holding his head and lower stomach was the result of a vicious Suns attack on his upper chest? Give me a brake!!!!!!! ( Sic )

    In that case, where are the suspensions and fines for all the countless times opponents have hit Clarry in the guts?

    Yep. Slapped in the upper left side of his chest, holds his stomach in pain like he’s been punched there. Drops to the turf and holds his head.

    What more do they need??!!!

    After the Maynard incident Jonathan Brown immediately says ‘got to be better than that’ and then realises what he’s said and says ‘anyway, he’s earned himself a free kick’.

    The pandering to big clubs is ruining the game. I’m so bored by the AFL coverage. It’s making the game seem so fake and manufactured.

     The AFL is either corrupt or insanely inept and I’ll prove it.
     

    Firstly there is the Maynard example. Now I’m assuming people know how human anatomy works. If not, being hit below the rib cage in the solar plexus is about the only way to take the wind out of someone and bring them to the ground, assuming both people are of about equivalent strength. 
     

    If you watch the clip with Long, there is not a significant ‘load up’ or transfer of weight (which equals force). He swivels at the hip yes, but strikes Maynard in the PECTORAL MUSCLE and therfore above the solar plexus, which in no reality could cause you to hunch over (let alone grab the head). There is ZERO chance of Maynard being incapacitated by this hit and he is 10000% faking it:

    IMG_3992.PNG.b0b84dc9ceb84a03e9efa89e79f82a1d.PNG

     

    Note the distance between them and the fact that Long is REACHING to connect with his elbow way beyond a 90 degree extension. The force has been mostly expelled or absorbed by the fact, it hits Maynard in the god damn chest. Maynard is also looking directly at what is coming to him so he can brace for impact.
     

    The second example is Pendlebury. Now you can see in the below that Pendlebury hits Neale DIRECTLY in the solar plexus. Perfect hit. Go and watch the clip if you don’t believe me, but Pendlebury loads up (he jumps in the air, plants his feet, swivels his hips like a boxer does to land a gut punch) and hits Neale directly in the solar Plexus and is hitting UP INTO NEALE.

    IMG_3993.PNG.69c4a4d7d28c2bfcae05f3fc5665ee68.PNG

     

    Look at the angle of Pendlebury’s elbow, bent at 90 degrees, NOT REACHING, weight primed for weight transferred into the strike, Neale isn’t even looking at him and isn’t even expecting it. 
     

    Both of these are a fine. 
     

    If anyone thinks that these two examples are in anyway similar, you are out of your [censored] mind. The fact that the AFL deems both of these cases as similar is a [censored] joke.
     

    They are nowhere near each other by a degree of magnitude.
     

    Now if an [censored] like me can look at these two examples and find the gaping chasm in between them, I’m sure the AFL knows and can do the same. 
     

    The AFL is either corrupt or so ineptly run that it’s a disgrace. 
     

    Take your pick.

    He was being sarcastic and saying if Maynard was that hurt, it must have been an almighty blow and therefore it should carry a suspension.

    what staging for a high hit? that doesn’t make sense. He wasnt trying to get a high contact free, he exaggerated the contact like we’ve seen Clarry and countless others do. remember that soft push when Clarry went over and got the off the ball free, it happens

    the hand wringing in this thread is ridiculous

    I'm seriously considering whether I bother renewing my AFL memberships next year, $1500 a year for the family for something I just don't really enjoy anymore. I still love the Demons but the league has lost me.

    I take your point, but if Maynard is overreacting then why is long copping a fine? Long pushed him in the chest and now suddenly it’s a fine?

    yeah that’s no good. The AFL likes to pretend exaggerating contact doesn’t happen so they box themselves in a corner i guess? dunno

    I’ve always liked and mostly agreed with your posts but this one is so uncharacteristic.

    @Redleg says you’re being sarcastic. Is that the case?

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • 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?
