Pies all over them. Should be up by a lot more

 

[peetoo]

Let’s not end up like Melbourne with an oversupply of NQ good enough forwards

 

[RoughysMullet]

Melbourne are pretty disappointing given the talent they’ve got in that side… woeful last year and looking like shitting the bed here

Party boys and a degenerate coach

That can't possibly be a suspension

What is he supposed to do? Grow wings and fly over Viney? Teleport out of the way? Cease to exist mid-air?

 

[hawk for 37]

Melbourne rattled by Brayshaw incident. All over the place.

AFL credibility on the line with Maynard case this week.
Has to be 3 weeks. Sicily case says the outcome matters and accidents don’t factor. That’s what they decided for Sicily.
Can’t change now.

Not jump in the direction of a player I guess. It’s clearly accidental but if players are now getting done for ordinary tackling, not sure a guy who jumps into someone and knocks them out can get off

He should not be suspended but that’s no longer relevant. Players are getting suspended for tackles if a player is concussed as the outcome is all that matters. Why is jumping for a smother any different?

The Dees have about 7 very good players and the rest are just so so! The Pies are a lot more talented across the 22

Can’t believe the sentiment in here is that Maynard should get off. Don’t listen to the commentators going into bat for their mates.

Left the ground, hit him high and knocked him out. It’s 3 weeks minimum.

Yes they can, its the AFL

He should get off. We are over obsessed by concussion and are ignoring accidents in football.

They’ve changed their tune at the back end of the season. Been a few football incidents that the outcome has been ignored. Swans have been a master at it.

he jumped to smother the ball, not to bump him though. I thought he did everything right and felt Brayshaw unfortunately leaned into him rather than the opposite direction. Hated seeing it, and have no love for Maynard, but thought it was all okay. Who knows though, as tackles that accidently result in concussions are obviously getting hammered.

Pies want this more, Dees don’t look like winning

Goodwin post match ‘it’s just not fair, my team should’ve been allowed to kick more goals ‘

 

[RoughysMullet]

Seems like game over really - Melbourne haven’t even looked like it

 

[Off The Couch]

Van-Royen on the other hand won’t play again this season. That was appalling

 

[rei154]

Melbourne getting roasted out of the middle- won't get near it until their mids start entering 50 properly

 

[peetoo]

Big stage fright

 

[grumbleguts]

Goodwin: who are all those melbourne players? They don't want the ball.

 

[kenneje]

Reckon Melbourne win this.

 

[HappyHawk_1]

To anyone saying it’s not a suspension cause ‘what else could he do’…

Hello? Sicily?

Sicily could have not played football and not tackled - but an unfortunate accident for a normal football act (but KO’d someone) = 3 weeks

If consistent - Maynard didn’t need to jump or turn side on - then he should be getting multiple weeks, and therefore he shouldn’t be seen for the rest of the season.

Not saying it’s right or wrong - it’s just being consistent.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Pickett the only Demon having a crack. Loved that hit.

They’re doing well to even be this close. If they pick it up a gear or two it’s their game
