Maynard cleared by tribunal for Brayshaw collision

[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

Correct decision.

Ignore posts from Port, Carlton, Melb and Ess supporters.

Congratulations Pies on your 2024 premiership.

Because the AFL clearly want you to win.

I state again, the AFL competition has been good for AFL clubs, but has been an abject failure for the sport of Australian Rules Football across the country.

Hardly see how Maynard getting off tonight has any impact on a game that is played in 13 months time.

A sad day for football when brain trauma is not taken into account.

They've literally changed rules multiple times to protect the head.

This one was unique in the sense that it was a pure football incident. The precedent set if guilty likely would result in the death of the high mark.

 

[Unknown Identity]

I say this with the utmost respect.

Suck it.

This was a terrible result for the AFL's efforts to reduce concussions. Basically said it's ok to concuss someone as long as it's a football act. Duty of care doesn't exist anymore.

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

You'd be a silly sod to run into Maynard.

why?

What about the 2023 flag?

 

[Kipz]

Fitzey Another win for the good guys

 

[Xtreme]

Won’t even knock Port off this week. They have had a fairly easy draw with no real competition other than a final round Carlton who had nothing to play for.

Port are ripe for the picking!!

I love how people were saying Collingwood posters need to remain decent, yet all I see are other supporters advocating for violence against our players.

Additionally, if you still really think it was deliberate you need to stop watching football as you'll never understand the game.

In other news, Brayshaw's head receives $2000 fine for recklessly veering into the path of Maynard's shoulder....

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

Predictable outcome. Big Melbourne club gets another free ride in finals....

 

[leon123]

never in doubt.... trust in the experts.

Guess Maynard will get that GF medallion now.

Remember... keep in your lane

 

[RAPPA]

So does Maynard send another bouquet of flowers?

 

[candyapple]

This aged well. Straight to the tribunal. So who is the one dreaming

Free to play like everyone with a brain new would be the case

 

[St 07]

Was always a free kick and nothing else

 

[Sub_Zero]

The tears are delicious

 

[Gigantic]

Not anymore. The dangers of playing contact sport are well known. Just like a smoker can't sue these days, Brayshaw is knowingly putting himself at risk.

That’s not how it works.

Particpation in an activity doesn’t preclude someone from being cupable for harm done onto you.

No greater collection of feckless cowards than at afl house. Had a chance to really show you are serious about CTE and you piss it up the wall to appease the knuckle draggers and ******* media pundits. The game will be sued out of existence in my child's life and this case will be a part of it all.

Just need Jack Martin

to either get of or get a reduced penalty and the whole clownshow will be in town

In the immortal words of Larry David - "**** you and I'll see you tomorrow!'

 

[RandB]

why?

Because he's a dirty campaigner.

You're obviously not a lawyer

 

[sante]

Common sense prevails.

“2024 Premiership”? Are we going back-to-back?

Teams will no doubt be practicing 'smothers' to legally knock out the opposition's best players now. Dangerous precendent set.
