[Corn Cobbers]

THE AFL has opted against appealing the Tribunal's decision in the Brayden Maynard case, meaning the Collingwood defender is in the clear to play in the Magpies' preliminary final.

AFL ponders rule change after Maynard Tribunal call

The Brayden Maynard saga is officially over after the AFL opted not to appeal the Tribunal's decision

www.afl.com.au

The AFL, having brought the charge against Maynard, said on Wednesday that it would not challenge the Tribunal's ruling, but would comment further later in the day.

"The AFL has confirmed that after careful consideration and review of the Tribunal's decision and reasons following last night's hearing into the incident involving Collingwood's Brayden Maynard and Melbourne's Angus Brayshaw, the AFL has decided not to appeal the Tribunal's decision," a statement read.

"Per the Tribunal Guidelines the AFL had to make this decision by 12:00pm AEST today.

"The AFL will release a further statement later today."

Finally some sanity

Ok so I'm late and I've just tuned in. Can someone fill me in with only one sentence what's happened so far so I can catch up.

3 hours of legal wank

No idea if it results in Maynard getting off, but fwiw:
3 votes: B Ihle
A Woods will be lucky to keep his place, flirting with a stint in the twos, tbh.

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

Pretty clear cut, Brayshaw ran into Maynard's lane. Case closed.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

If you follow the guidelines, McCartin should be suspended for concussing McKay. That was careless front on contact, severe impact, high contact.

Hopefully they don’t mess it up again

Coming from a basketball background where “close outs” happen all the time. Maynard has played basketball at a high level and I think that he had two intentions, one to smooth and the other to clear up Brayshaw.

Maynard could have jump off one leg, controlled his movement more up and across.

Scott Pendlebury?

 

[El_Scorcho]

The biomechanist's evidence has already refuted this line of argument.

The biomechanist said that Maynard put himself in a situation where he was totally out of control, like a frisbee with legs.

If they're trying to refute the carelessness element, the biomechanist is not their friend.

 

[Mr Lizard]

Maynard's path of pure football action is sacrosanct. Brayshaw is ruining the fabric of the game with his erratic kicking technique.

 

[beerbandit]

Let’s just get him cleared and move onto the Martin case.


I hope the AFL push for 7 weeks

 

[Mister B]

The animals aren't playing football.

Holy shit, is our education system really that bad?

Who's going to be the one to tell him?

 

[Jibroni]

And give the flowers back

I'll pay that one, well played

 

[docko911]

There is also an argument Brayshaw would have been concussed by any hit so it’s not all that fair the outcome is the players responsibility when the other player shouldn’t be on a football field.

 

[Fabab]

Roby noted that Brayshaw got in the way and it was his fault that he got hit.
Apparently Brayshaw was playing for the free kick.
Isn’t this right Roby??

Really ? Some trolls in here .

Pie fans following up their classy act of chanting while a player is unconscious with victim blaming.

It's been going on since fairly early in this thread sadly.

Na find him guilty, only for Ed to whinge.

You’ll appeal and get him off on Thurs

 

[DonsRule]

You can quote what I said, if you can find it

Yes. Brayshaw as per usual, intentionally tried to get a high free kick. Certainly careless, the AFL should ban Angus from the AFL

I’m still in disbelief that this actually happened. One of the poorer things you will see from opposition fans.

 

[Captivating]

If Maynard gets off there will more kids told to play soccer by their parents imo.

What if Martin gets downgraded? What will parents do then?

 

[RandB]

They're cars now. Perhaps Brayshaw should have done a hook turn.

 

[The Feeder Club]

I'm ambivalent about whether he should get off or not but this defence that Brayshaw moves off his line sure is s some horseshit. If you're kicking the ball long with a big follow through of the kicking leg you will always deviate off a straight line. You won't land on your feet otherwise.

 

[Maddo11]

7:20 or so

no chance, deliberations this season have been 45min minimum lol this will be longer. I've got it as 7:50

It didn't.

 

[Tadpole]

Yep, people sliding into your ankles and smashing the ball with your head makes it a way safer game.

Not to mention possibly being assaulted by opposition supporters mid game.

With no pathway because there is dick all money involved.

Hopefully the kids are independent enough to form their own opinions on interests and activities.

Or having a flare thrown in your direction by the bogan element of the crowd.

That wasn't the line of argument raised in the post I replied to.

The careless element is refuted by the evidence that Brayshaw deviates into Maynard's line, meaning the result was not reasonably foreseeable by Maynard at the time he committed to his action.
