Player Watch Brayden Maynard

[chestbrah]

Attempting to hide one’s hatred of
Collingwood behind self righteousness and indignation is truly sickening.

The attempted claim of moral high ground irrespective of facts and due process a clear sign of unintelligence and weakness.

Let’s win the flag from here and stick it right up these pricks.

 

[Pistol Night]

Goodwin was spot on in his press conference after the game.

1. It will get sorted during the week
2. You can only go by the facts.

Thank God we have such even tempered intelligent balanced people in football like him.

He was 2/2 there. Should of multi'd it Goody

This sums up 80% of the waffle on the main board. Its like a D grade horror movie that i keep getting sucked back into watching for a laugh

Remember everyone.

A Collingwood player attempting a LEGAL football act accidentally causing a collision and concussion generates days of hysteria, and a referral to a 4 hour tribunal hearing with rolling coverage…


A Melbourne player, who deliberately and intentionally elbowed a player in the head, an ILLEGAL act (cause to be sued if injured IMO) results in 1 week ban, and , with 0 media coverage all because the player was LUCKILY not injured.

See anything wrong with this?…

Oh and below incident, Two weeks BTW. Two… and no rolling coverage, no media outrage, no rioting..but he’s a Melbourne player

 

[Bramax]

How do these morons justify Cripps getting off?

I think Blues have had quite a few players cleared this year, at least 1-2 for dangerous tackles that others have been suspended for. Martin had his charge downgraded.

They should be happy Brayshaw's not playing and thanking Maynard, even though it was an accident.

Well Cripps didn’t actually beat the charge. AFL stuffed up the charge and Cripps got off on a legal technicality. But that said, you won’t find a Blues supporter admitting Cripps should have missed weeks and his Brownlow is dirty because of it. Nothing to see here according to them.

Shut up Hodgey...disputing which way players lean after kicking

Luke Hodge was tough as nails. I’m surprised he has any issue with this incident.

All i can ascertain from that is we're the biggest club in the comp by far and Melbourne despite winning a flag 2 years ago are irrelevant to most media outlets

Yes I know that's how he got off, which is exactly why I ask 'how do they 'justify' Cripps getting off'.

Maynard had expert evidence to back up why he was cleared. It's there for everyone to read.

I wouldn't feel vindicated if Bruzzy was only cleared on a technicality.

And they talk about corruption

 

[OniAu]

Now Shaun Smith is calling Maynard “thug” and the verdict “disgusting”

I’m getting tired of the constant digs on either the player or the club and it’s becoming fast distasteful and disrespectful.

Time people like Smith, Schofield and H. Brayshaw etc started pulling what’s left of their heads in.

Only one that will give them a whack is more than likely Bucks. No one else in the media has the backbone to

Yep. Totally agree. Isn’t there a saying about glass houses?

Worried for his Lions in the chance they face the pies

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Luke Hodge was tough as nails. I’m surprised he has any issue with this incident.

He doesn't have any issue with the incident. He's always thought Maynard should be cleared.

This was specifically about the evidence which said a player who kicks with either foot will lean a certain way. Brayshaw didn't lean the way you would expect. Hodge disputes that is the case & was just surprised the AFL didn't question it further.

Maybe Maynard should engage a lawyer and sue for slander.
I know a very good attorney by the name of Ben Ihle that could help.

Let's send JVR some flowers as well

I'm also curious as to why the media aren't asking & checking up on McKay after his concussion.

Pies didn't cause it so nothing to see here

Oh ok. He gets a pass then.

Also, that was only one part of the evidence of course. Even accepting that, you’d be expecting Maynard to have memorised which way every player leans after kicking. Bit tough to do that.

I'd say this is also partly why he is so invested in this incident :

AFL veteran receives $1.4 million payout for concussion damage

Former North Melbourne and Melbourne player Shaun Smith says the payout is formal recognition of the permanent damage caused by repetitive concussions while playing football, and hopes the AFL will do more for players' welfare.

Hodgey was a champ, but is no expert when it comes to the tribunal. Back in about 2013 he appealed a striking charge. Caught a lift up to the hearing room with the victim, where they had a bit of back and forth about what they should both say.
An elderly gent also in the lift interrupted and said, "Ah fellas, how about you save that for the hearing?"
Hodge indignantly said, "who are you?"
"I am the chairman hearing the appeal."

And they all had a bit of a chuckle.

Hodgey didn't get over the line.

 

[cakewalk06]

Im pretty sure this bookends the medias 18 month love affair with us. Back to being the bad boys of the comp

Good. It’s always been an uncomfortable state of affairs. The media pretending to love us

 

[Sweeetleftfoot]

There's no way they appeal. Ihle ripped them to shreds last night. It was a 2nd round KO.

To be fair woods did a lot of the leg work for us

No, the evidence wasn't putting the blame or responsibility on Maynard, or Brayshaw. It was just pointing out an anomaly with Brayshaw leaning a different way to what normally would happen.

If he leaned the way you'd expect for someone kicking with that foot, he would have leaned away from Maynard.

No one's fault, just something else which inadvertently contributed to them colliding into each other and not away from each other.

I was just listening to Hodge and thinking 'shut up' we don't want the AFL to appeal based on this piece of evidence because they missed the opportunity last night

 

[windchimes]

I’m loving the ‘AFL are intervening to ensure Collingwood make the grand final’ angle from oppo numptys, despite the fact that the head honchos of the league are the ones that interfered to send Bruzzy to the tribunal, where their bankrolled lawyer then argued the case for Bruzzy to get 3 weeks. Would sound like a bold strategy to get us there!

Imbeciles.

 

[sr36]

Oh im out of jail!

How good for Maynard! Made my week.

Common sense prevails.

The afl needs to start revising their reporting system. It is weighted far to heavily on outcomes rather than actions

An accident that results in concussion is more heavily weighted than a blatant illegal punch/elbow that doesn’t. This is a huge issue

What were you in jail for?

 

[Bramax]

To be fair woods did a lot of the leg work for us

Why is there no conspiracy starting about Woods amongst all the hysterically triggered souls out there?

Couldn’t the Pies have paid him off to pull his pants down so badly?
