    Well if nothing else this is the longest amount of time Maynard has ever had to spend using his 2 brain cells. 
    He will now be missing the game due to brain overload. 

    You are a plagiarist: but I forgive you. I said the same about Maynard in an earlier post...

    Theatre at it's incredulously absurd.

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

     

    Rollinson's posts ought to give you an insight that this is why it takes 4-5 years to become an apprentice lawyer, because they teach you each and every way known to the human species to lie, obfuscate, twist words, play semantics, twist facts, and basically to deceive. This appears to be what was rolled out - again- tonight. It is the paradigm for the absolute fraud we call Westminster Justice.

    Laughable! 

    “[censored], he was there,” Maynard said. “I was surprised he came into my way.”

    Maynard said he was looking at the football the whole time.

    Just one show look at the replay should make it a case of Bull...t, 3 weeks, stop wasting our time. Yep. 'looking at the ball the whole time? What ball was he looking at? Brayshaw's eyeballs?

    Have we all forgotten this? Long time ago, granted.

    I'm not condoning these sorts of actions and I will be happy to see if the AFL has evolved to stamp thus sort of stuff out of the game. 

     

    As the commentator said: it was a 'square up' for an earlier incident on Viney. These are precisely the acts of brutality which need to wiped out: hence Maynard's case should be the line in the sand : NO MORE!

    Actually as much as I'd like to string up Tom Browne (who I thought had given up AFL journalism) It was Tom Morris who reported this initially.

    So much complexity between the two teams on this incident.  Corey as a former player, Peter Maynard the GM (or CEO) of the Casey Demons FC, as someone else mentioned Kate Hore is dating Brayden's brother too.... Then there is the whole aspect of Brayshaws/Frawleys etc....  

    Mea culpa: got my Toms cornfused.

    The Dutch referee, Charles Corver, was widely and rightly condemned world-wide at the time. His weak excuse was that he was watching the flight of the ball and didn't see the collision. No such excuse for an AFL player under the scrutiny of multiple umpires and TV cameras. The similarity between Schumacher's violent challenge and Maynard's is striking. 

    This is typical of the Dutch who have always tried to ingratiate themselves with the Germans because they were never taught to speak German properly. ( That was a German joke, okay!.)

    If the thug was fair dinkum (hope I am using the expression properly), he would accepts the suspension, tell the club to F off and let him take whatever suspension.

    Apologise to Gus and family in person behind close doors and no media involved (even if it means to wait until finals are done).

    I wonder who told the journos about his visit? 🤔 I bet it wasn't Gus, his family or teammates.

    It was reported by the Browne creep, who is, apparently the son of the E Colli Wobbler President.

    Oh have I got the example for you!

    1982 World Cup Germany vs France. Goalkeeper Shumacher comes out and nails French outfield player Patrick Battiston. Battiston was taken away on a stretcher.

    Unbelievably there was no foul and the ref called goal kick! These days I'd imagine this would be red card and lengthy suspension..

     

    Coincidently, I recalled this incident this morning. I watched it very early in the morning from a TV in a farmhouse in the Parish Of Boohmanoohmana, rugged up, covered in a sleeping bag - it gets cold at night along the mighty Murray - barracking for the Germans, as is my wanton.  When Schumacher charged and felled Battiston I was appalled and nauseated that Schumacher got away with it - not because Battiston was also a Melbourne player, but because that's the kind of fella I am.

    Sorry to disappoint you, Monbon, but there are a host of posters on here who will vouch for my credibility on Demonland and Demonology years ago.

    Rollinson refers to Trevor Rollinson who you have probably never heard of. Played beside Ray Biffen in the days of Robbie Flower. I assume you have heard of Robbie Flower? 

    Please, please, per favore, bitte, don't make assumptions. I have meant to ask are you related to Trevor Rollinson, who I used to watch . I know the name of most Melbourne players - indeed from 1960 until the late eighties used to watch Melbourne play regularly. I began to follow them when I went to my grandmother's house one Saturday in September 1958 when I was eight. A game of football was on the tellie and I began to barrack for the losing team - part of my 'sympathy for the underdog' nature - and, of course, it was the Grand Final. I knew absolutely nothing about Aussie Rules at that stage, being the son of migrants who arrived in July 1956.

    I wish there was a further paragraph that read "it was at this point as Maynard was leaving the residence that he tripped on the front door door frame and somehow fell head first into the brick letter box in the front yard several times. Maynard had to have surgery to remove the metal letterbox plate from his broken jaw. Multiple Melbourne players were able to verify the details of the unfortunate accident".

    Quote from Jack Viney "I gave the poor bugger a soft pat on the back with both hands to console him, similar to the pat on the back that Ed Langdon got running into an open goal which made his kick miss and go through for a point in the third quarter. Nothing in it really. It all happened so quickly, we had no time to react to Maynard's head being rammed into the brick fence repeatedly. It was a pure domestic accident (sic act)"

    Surgeons hope to save at least two of Maynard's remaining teeth.

    Obviously given up on saving his remaining brain cells...Assuming they found one.

    Funnily enough I do believe in the courts (I'll leave God out of it) and I think you thoroughly misunderstand Trump's playbook.    Your arguments smell of sophistry and you wonder why Dick the Butcher formed his opinion of lawyers.

    There is a lot of hypocrisy spoken about rules based order in international politics. Who writes the rules and who ignores them when they don't suit - everyone.  Let's not have more of it here.

    Yep, 'rules based order' what a tragic joke that term is.

    Not nearly enough on this forum, mate.

    I will keep explaining the legal reality to you people until I am proved wrong or until you all admit that passionate support for our Dees has carried you away.

    The next poster who says that I am not sad for the consequences for Gus will get a visit from the Benalla bikies, who can be persuasive.  :)

     

    Now I know you were really a lawyer!!!!!

    OMG straight out of the Trump playbook.

    The Appeal (if it even proves necessary) will be independent and Rules-based.

    If you don't believe in the Courts as the third arm of government in this Country, God help us all. 

    I only have to refer to the Pell stuff to know exactly what you mean. In other words, if this is the third arm of government  - as though the first two arms aren't ridiculous enough -God help us!!!!!

    he also had an option earlier when he embarked on a smother attemp,t in such as a manner, where a collision was inevitable.

    Yep: when the word 'smother' comes up, I associate a player standing next to or close to the kicker pushing both arms down towards the kicker's boots. In other words, if you're a few meters in front of the kicker and you turn your shoulder into the oncoming kicker after he has kicked the ball is simply assault in my book.

    Admit the spelling mistake.

    Even Hitler deserved a good lawyer. It is our system and a bulwark of our society.

    I know I am repeating myself but the lawyers involved here will be looking at the real-time vision. Fractions of seconds mate, fractions of seconds. I don't care if Player Maynard gets banned for life. After all, he plays for the filth. I am just trying to prepare us all for disappointment. 

     

    I totally agree with you: the perversion of Law and Justice is the bulkwark of our society.
