Maynard must get at least four weeks
The Football Act.... Ihle (Collingwood): Maynard was entitled to come forward off his player, he was entitled to jump when he saw Brayshaw about to kick.

It was Gus' fault,,,, Ihle (Collingwood): Although we're not critical of anyone moving or deviating from a path, that seems to be a factor that has contributed significantly to there being a collision.

Biomechanist: Once he's airborne, he's essentially a projectile. He's like a frisbee with arms and legs. Damning to say the least and it's Maynard's witness

Not addressing the issue It was impossible to adjust because he chose to leave the ground in a manner that attracted a dangerous outcome ie a careless act

OMG the quality of sports reporters.... The biomechanist has arrived four minutes early. She is officially better than any medical professional I have ever visited.

Woods (AFL): This type of contact isn't common. Leaping forward in the air with force to an opponent running in the opposite direction holds a key risk of badly injuring their opponent. It's a dangerous action to undertake & it breaches the duty of care owed to the other player.

AFL counsel went easy on him judging by the blog summary

That one struck me as well

Is there a link for the transcript or better still a video link Thanks

Any word on Angus?
Goodwin said this morning he is going in for a scan (presumably a brain scan). Not an expert but as I understand it they will compare that scan to his base former scan. Frankly if he was unconscious for 2 minutes as reported in the media he won't be back for the prelim and why would you risk his health for the GF.

At 9:43 in that video they show several instances of what is now described as a "football act" intended to exculpate Maynard. Not one is similar to the front on flying charge undertaken by Maynard. Perhaps they are meant to support the other furphy being promulgated namely that Maynard had a right to protect himself by raising his shoulder. He lost that right IMO when he chose to leave the ground in an uncontrolled manner. On a separate note the discussion about knees to the head in high marking attempts certainly raises issues but has nothing to do with Maynard's infringement

Look at the replay It's not a smother .. it's an uncontrolled head on jump from metres away Never seen one like it before
-
Maynard must get at least four weeks
Yes (have never seen it done).. the question is what happens to substitutions. Seems hardly fair just to even up the game and say you've both got to put in your sub player

What does a red card mean though. NRL.. ten minutes in the Sin Bin Soccer.. off for the match and auto suspension for at least one match (Both games have NO interchange)

Been saying for years we should give some players a half game in VFL at different positions. Even if it has 10% success you will find a back up. Who knows if Tomlinson can play forward or Spargo down back. You don't need to rotate the whole team but say one half every three weeks for six players. Turner up forward,,,, never been forward of the 50m line to my knowledge. (Mind you he's been injured for so long it's not surprising) Too late to try it now Jefferson down back for a while next year?

Flying up to second place on %

AFLW: Rd 02 vs GWS
In a comp where % will be all important this is a very good win

NON-MFC: Finals Week 01
My logic is Port If we do get through to the GF I would prefer it not to be on the back of a match in the relatively draining heat of Brisbane. And we did win the last prelim we played in Adelaide

VFL scratch match
You forgot to mention Spargo's ten screamers and 20 goals

Goodwin has been here before!
No but we have a Petracca In 2021 he had a finals series to remember as did Max. Need to recapture that energy somehow. A warm dry night in Melbourne before a near 100k crowd might be a good place to start
