Turn it up, he turned to protect himself.

Why did he need to protect himself? You are kidding

 

[BettercallSaul]

Van Rooyen is in trouble for that

Yep through his elbow out.

 

[Lach72]

Why did he need to protect himself? You are kidding

Because his arms were in the air and he would’ve had Brayshaw into his exposed ribs

 

[mayne iac]

Omg, what do you think his arms are for??

 

[FreoGirl]

I never realised how much I hated Collingwood until now

 

[mayne iac]

So he protects himself by pointing his shoulder to Bradshaw's head??

 

[Kapow!!!]

Because his arms were in the air and he would’ve had Brayshaw into his exposed ribs

...he could've used his hands for a soft landing on the player (which is definitely more instinctive). I don't necessarily agree he should be rubbed out because there's doubt and it's a normal action but I'm not buying that it wasn't intentional either.

Pies always seem to have someone in the right spot in the contest.

 

[FreoRicci]

Crisp is my favourite non Fremantle player.
Gun.
Fast, a tank, and can lock over 50.

 

[FreoGirl]

Exactly. I think he is gone. Mind you with the AFL tribunal he could get 10 weeks or cleared and given a Nobel Peace prize.

or a Brownlow

his haircut (alone) should have him out for at least 6 weeks,

 

[FreoRicci]

Melbourne have no forward line. Where’s McDonald.

 

[FreoRicci]

Melbourne desparately need Grundy.
Pretty arrogant move from Melbourne

Could have just put his arms out to brace since he was already doing that to smoother. Tucking the shoulder means you are no longer smothering anything, deserves weeks for knocking someone out with a head hit.

 

[BettercallSaul]

Geez van rooyen looks a finals player.
10 year deal, do it belly

What’s happened to his younger brother. Talked up mid year but haven’t heard his name mentioned since??

 

[Lach72]

JFC he tucked his arm in

He didn’t aim at anything

Would make them even slower wouldn't it? Pies killing them with speed already.

Well the ball was gone. How was he going to smother it?
He was coming down and tucked the arm in to protect himself. It wasn’t a bull and he didn’t snipe him. Accidents happen

 

[noise36]

What else could Maynard have done?? Don't jump directly on top of a players head? Commentary happy to rub out the demons player that hit McStay but rally to defend a guy that knocked out a bloke.

 

[mayne iac]

JFC he tucked his arm in

He didn’t aim at anything

Tucked his arms in alright

 

[Ge3ks]

JVR gonna get a few weeks.

 

[Lach72]

The difference between Maynard and Van Rooyen stark

jVr should get 3-4 weeks.

Wouldn’t even look twice at Maynard

 

[Kapow!!!]

Why did he need to tuck them in to protect himself?

 

[Purpletown]

Bobby Hill playing very well, two goals and should have got a free deep in the forward line for a great tackle.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Collingwood in the wet look like a 10 goal better team than the Dees

 

[Dockers v Channel7West]

Maynard sooking to the umpires at Q time..
Really hoping for a Melbourne player to get him
Legally of course
