Jaded No More

I suspect that if Maynard isn't suspended, the AFL will be hearing a lot more from the Brayshaws and Frawleys. He messed with the wrong footy family.

We are, but nobody is Max Gawn. We are cactus without him.

Once again we are mentally and physically falling apart in September. 2021 was a blessed year... shame it happened 9000km away from most of our supporters.

I am not sure if anyone noticed but he came out really late onto the ground after half time. Did not run with the team, did not do the warm up. My guess is that they were assessing it and injected it, and he went on to have a great second half. Did I mention how passionately I would like to punch Cox in his teeny tiny nuts?!

No doubt the boys at AFL house will have Eddie act for the prosecution

You know [censored] is bad when Max Gawn is so angry he has to leave a room. This is a man who gets literally punched in the head and kneed in the ribs illegally 12 times a quarter and never ever retaliates back. He and Gus are extremely close. He must be incredibly upset about this situation.

Doesn’t seem to impact him. Maybe Maynard or Cox want to go around to his house and break a few more. “Football act” 🙄

McRae really is a bitter jerk dressed in a faux nice guy suit. Imagine not giving Gawn maximum votes for that game. Pathetic. Also Trac is an odd choice. Clarry was way better.

Say it louder for the morons at the back Hamish!

My most hated narrative of all is that Gus should have protected himself. I literally can’t.

Appeal will be on Thursday I think

It’s the appeal that will be interesting My guess is that he will get 3 weeks and they’ll appeal.

He also head-butted Viney which conveniently the media has forgotten about.

Nothing better than a poster who never shows their ugly head on here until they have something negative to say. It was better when you were ruining Demonology instead.

8 votes to Max. 0 votes to Cox.

I sincerely hope he finds himself lining up next to Viney next season. Because he won’t play again this year.

I hope Cox gets the most severe case of food poisoning known to man. I want this dude to be [censored] out of those swim goggles. A despicable [censored] on and off the field. Embarrassing for footy to have this try hard yank running around playing Aussie rules.

It might not be in the written rules, but it’s been used many many times to get players suspended. When you leave the ground or you don’t have eyes for the ball the tribunal more often than not will say you didn’t act with a duty of care.

No doubt that teammate was Viney and he had to excuse himself from dropping that piece of dog [censored] to the ground and pouring the goon sack he brought over on his head. 0 good intentions in that visit. Just a pathetic PR exercise.

Well the tribunal may still find him not guilty. I doubt it but they could. As you say tho, the appeals board is the problem. How much influence does the AFL have over them? Because we know the tribunal is just a puppet show run by the chief.

Toby Bedford never left the ground. He didn’t even have eyes on the player. Maynard left the ground. Once you choose to leave the ground according to the AFL you have a duty of care to your opponent. That’s not my rules that’s the rules that they’ve demonstrated over and over again with many other cases. If you choose to leave the ground and lunge at a player with forward momentum, it does not matter if your intention was to smash them, smother the ball, fart in their face or kiss them, you have a duty of care to avoid their head and not render them concussed. Please explain how Hunter got suspended for a footy action trying to get a loose ground ball, because he accidentally collected Butters, but Maynard should avoid suspension for trying to smother the ball and concussing Gus in the process?

His only friends are Tom Browne and Hutchy.

Tom Browne couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag. Needs to stop telling us what players can and can't do. Should go back to bin diving. Suits him best. Trash.

They can suspend Maynard, so that the next player who goes to smother a ball thinks twice before leaving the ground, leaping forward, turning their body and cannonballing themselves shoulder first into an opponent. When they started suspending players for cheap shots off the ball, guess what happened? cheap shots off the ball stopped occurring. Likewise sling tackles. They have told players not to sling a player 360 in a tackle motion and drive them into the ground head first. They suspend players who do, even though tackling is still 100% allowed in AFL.

Last week a few people on here were selling their tickets later in the week as they were sick and couldn't make it. Keep checking back here in case the same happens again. There are bound to be people who can't make it at the last minute.
