Player Watch Brayden Maynard

[Maggie5]

Plenty? That's being generous. I can only think of 1 or 2.

Saad is a very nice person and one we need to cover if we meet them again. Gives them lots of drive.

This is probably racist of me but he very much reminds me of Houli in his general demeanour

Ah yeah, I forgot about Adam. The 'woof' every time he kicks turns me off. Not his fault though

Its not racist to hate Carlton and Richmond players. I am an equal opportunity hater.

 

[eyeroller]

Interesting in the AFL statement that they say they will be closely examining the incident in regard to high contact rules in the off season. Not sure how they are going to legislate against an accident? If they go down the 'if you jump to smother but accidentally concuss a player in the process, you're responsible and will be suspended' road then... I don't see how they can then not apply that to jumping for marks or going back with the flight etc.

From what I heard, Houli thinks very highly of himself. Saad is just a good guy.

 

[Bramax]

Doesn't matter who wins really. Either side will be smashed by Brisbane the following week....

That’s what I think.

 

[Kirby]

I just got blocked from replying in the main board thread on Maynard due to "de-railing it".

I'm not sure that calling dimwits out for posting BS is "de-railing" a thread but whatever.

It's actually made me feel pretty special.

It'll be a hard one to legislate against. It's already a free kick under the high contact rule. So they must only be talking about the tribunal. I guess they could try something along the lines of, unless contesting a mark, any time a player chooses to leave the ground in a jumping motion and makes contact with a player, they are responsible for the outcome?

That makes it pretty much strict liability, but might serve to discourage the Cripps type bumps. Don't think(or at least I hope) it would not stop players jumping to smother but they wear the cost.

 

[Captivating]

Shaun Smith having a sook on social media, but he's been concussed for most of his life so we'll cut him some slack.

But these words are from Peter Jess, a legal type who has some portion of brain matter but would prefer to let hysteria do his talking:

“The tribunal’s decision is flawed in so many aspects that it begs the question whether a complete reset of the process and rules need to be urgently undertaken to firmly enforce safety,” Jess said on Wednesday.

“To allow a player to collide at force to create an event that leaves the victim unconscious and potentially brain damaged is simply unacceptable on all levels.

“Sport cannot be isolated from societal expectations of how you treat your fellow human beings. Maynard’s behaviour outside the football field would be totally unacceptable.

What do these people see when they watch a football game? How much of a football game would be allowed off-field?

Even so, doesn't society and its 'expectations' still allow for notions of mistake and accident?

How do you 'enforce safety' without obliterating the game itself?

----------------------------------------------------------------

These people are shrill and devoid of critical thought.

I can't help but wonder how much of this stupidity is driven by the fact that Maynard looks like an inkless bikie.

Is Peter Jess retarted?

Bumping into a person on purpose is also unacceptable behaviour. I can't walk into the office and start bumping people who disagree with me. Or better yet, grab them by the collar and jumper punch them.

People change, but I’d refute that based on the Bachar I got to know.

I liked the suggestion of sr36 that would see a classification of “at fault” underneath careless. On the surface it makes sense, but that’s without knowing anything about the “law” side of it which would clearly be your domain.

 

[Gabbo64]

Technically he's just another moron supporter as he's no longer President, (thankfully).
I'm not taking his rights away, questioning his judgement is all.
Anyway, I am extremely grateful common sense prevailed and Bruzzy can play.

Yes, I think the outcome was fair and just. Onward and upward from here!

At fault would be a stricter liability to prove than careless.

 

[Ingy]

Just got tickets to the play 'Death of a Salesman'
Apparently it's about a loser/past used by date coach who can no longer crack a good win...

The Biff makes Bruzzy Happy, but Goodwin is a low man...

I think you could put a dangerous act classification of conduct below careless.

Specify that it's when only one of the players involved commits a dangerous act. Specify that it is inherently dangerous to be involved in a marking contest to take out accidents there that don't meet the careless classification.

Means players are penalised if they commit a dangerous act that KOs someone with no reason to believe their in danger - and Bruzzys launch in that situation was nuts and dangerous, but it also means that an accident from a dangerous act is graded lower than hip and shouldering someone in the head. I think it'd be fair.

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.

I have never seen anything like it. All this outcry simply because of who was bumped. That's it. The AFL puts out a long statement lauding the sacred Brayshaws and the concern for his health.
How do you think Jakob Ryan's family feels when they watched their son get knocked out on debut by an errant knee to the head?

Where was the outrage and remorse?

But the past and present players who continue to gob off long after the event when the excuse of emotions and passions overcoming reason is no longer a valid explanation is astonishing.

Without being hyperbolic or overly tribal it really does reek of a deep resentment toward the Collingwood footy club.

Our boys, from Maynard and others like Howe and Sidey through to our coach have been empathetic and classy with their comments as was Graham Wright after the hearing.

The football world has become unhinged and it is disturbing.

Brayshaw's silence continues to disgust me. He is clearly signalling his support of all the outrage and personal attacks on Maynard.

Goodwin is another hypocrite and his words on the night if the incident were also disgraceful particularly given the actions of Pickett earlier in the year and Van Rooyen on the night.

This circus is a joke.

 

[Soups]

Pot kettle there.

 

[Bramax]

For all the hand wringing on the Melbourne FC board, the hypocrisy is laughable.
BaliDemon is one such peanut. He posted how he hopes the Dees make it to the Grand Final and play Collingwood just so someone can KO Maynard. He said it would be worth the 3 or 4 wks.
So much for all the bleating about duty of care and preventing concussions.
He’s since deleted the post or the mods have taken it down.

 

[legendstatus]

LOL - Dees supporters and BF mods the cockroaches of the planet

They’re absolutely filthy because they were certain they’d beat us last week.
The fact they finished 4th but got a G final, they thought they had it in the bag.
And winning this game was huge for either side. Don’t leave the G. Straight to prelim.
Avoid carlton semi and Brisbane prelim.
They are FILTHY they lost!

I thought at the time that it was good that it was sent to the tribunal, as it gave us a victory and something to cheer about during our bye week.

Go Pies.

what I've been saying too regarding Jakob. Particularly when oppo supporters say "how would Collingwood supporters like it if one of their players was knocked out, you'd never hear the end of it"

'Ryan, debut, probably can't remember it, kneed in the head by Rayner, hospitalised, symptoms for days/week(s), missed 2 VFL finals.. did you hear about that? Nah, didn't think so'

'Murphy, punched in head, chin, face.. dazed, concussed, has had multiple concussions.. goes down, dizzy..what do oppo supporters say "he's such a flop" "shouldn't be playing if he can't take it" '

It bloody infuriates me.

And has anyone in the media asked how Harry McKay is going?

I love some of your posts. I hate some too.

But don't write "without being hyperbolic or overly tribal" Because they always are and that's why i love and hate your posts. Although it did make me smile.
