Player Watch Brayden Maynard

[jimmy35]

Nah, they had to do it for perception purposes as a minimum.

Which in itself is bullshit.

 

[NMBB]

Love you Brayden - get stuffed Cwood haters

 

[60 Yards Out]

Every chance.

They shouldn't. Pathetic "case" they presented.

 

[cakewalk06]

Great result. Fingers crossed Maynard can put it behind him quickly. And best wishes to Brayshaw. This can be a brutal game.

 

[Maggie5]

Excluding a Grand Final don't think I have ever seen a thread that has united us all.

Go Pies!

 

[3rdMan]

They shouldn't. Pathetic "case" they presented.

Don't think there's an appeal provision for "inadequate counsel", that would be their only valid grounds.

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

Some salty flogs on the main board...mostly Melbourne or Port

Mods - declare this a legendary thread - NOW

This is a legendary thread now

Excluding a Grand Final don't think I have ever seen a thread that has united us all.

Go Pies!

with exception to perhaps the carlton thread, that’s chock full of goodness

 

[magpienato]

Mods - declare this a legendary thread - NOW

honestly deserved its own thread from the get go but ah well

 

[Sunbot]

Time for Laura Kane, Andrew Dillon and Gillon McLachlan to publicly apologise to Michael Christian. Don’t think it likely

Yes but that’s about losers and this is about winners.

 

[doofdoof]

Nah, they had to do it for perception purposes as a minimum.

Yep, let's prosecute a case that we know will fail because it makes us look good.

Pathetic. Take some responsibility!

 

[The Royal Sampler]

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank The Royal Sampler for his submissions in this case.

Nailed it from the get go.

P.s. I’ll take the thanks for suggesting we needed expert evidence from a biomechanic

Cheers mate.

Woods presented his case as to why he thought Bruz collided with Brayshaw, and Ihle said;

 

[magpienato]

This is the first battle won, we still have two more.

 

[Pie eyed]

And headbutting a frozen duck travelling very fast would also hurt your bonce.

African Swallow carrying a coconut?

 

[barrackers]

Reasoning behind the verdict.

Bang, Gleeson has hit the demon sooks harder with those reasons than Maynard’s accidental collision with Brayshaw.

Not intentional
Maynard’s position on landing wasn’t a conscious decision
Not a bump
Brayshaw’s movement contributed
Smothering was reasonable
Maynard touched the footy


Do any of their whinges remain standing??

 

[Karma4Pies]

My favorite part of the verdict.

'It is not an irrelevant consideration that these other possible methods of landing foreseeably have resulted in harm to Maynard'.

As in catch the opponent but by chance Brayshaw doesn't - Maynard ends up with broken ribs and a punctured lung and looks like an idiot in sustaining said injuries.

 

[Black_White]

The bolded not true at all mate.

I’ve seen it before when a player is treated like this. And not just for our team.
Generally a down game next up and in Maynard’s case his physicality is part of his game and the case, the media and the outcome for Brayshaw will affect his physicality.
The game after however, wrecking ball time!

 

[Copeland]

Scripted perfectly.

 

[Gammalite44]

Poor Caroline Wilson!!
Just imagine her at home right now - screaming, crying and throwing pots and pans around the kitchen!

She will just have to find some other poor sod to vent her hate on now.
Maybe Garry Lyon can console her.

 

[thebaldfacts]

Excellent

 

[Brad Goodman]

No way they could’ve suspended that action when there’s nothing in the rules to allow for it. Fair play if they bring it in for next year, but until then…

 

[JuniorB]

Go Bruzzy!
All those Melbourne whingers are going to be extra salty now.
I want to see him with a Premiership medallion around his neck on September 30th.
