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

You are missing the simple point: leave the ground and you are responsible for what happens next.

So point to the suspensions for players who jumped to attempt species and in the process knee their opponent in the head.

For some reason this is a protected act in the AFL, you can knee people in the head when contesting a mark.

Maynard was not contesting a mark so the exception does not apply. And you know this.

reasonable contact after a attempt to smother

s**t does still happen , its a contact sport FFS

Yet all the other shit happens incidents throughout the season have resulted in multiple weeks suspension.

I do agree that it is just a football incident and should be zero weeks but the AFL have for the entire season given weeks suspension for this type of football incident.

Should the MRP change their stance just because it is finals

 

[LukeParkerno1]

It’s either 0 or 3 weeks and get the chook lotto out.

 

[SplintWhisky]

Left the ground to smother the kick. AFL will try it but he shouldnt go. May as well go to touch footy if that is a suspension

But you just declared "leave the ground and you are responsible for what happens next."

So that's not the case.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Was he reported?

 

[BuddysBiggestFan]

Dog Act and bemused by Richo and Taylor sticking up for Maynard.

**** off campaigners.

It’s either 0 or 3 weeks and get the chook lotto out.

It is not the case when contesting a mark, as has been explained to you, and as you already know.

If this is the kind of defense that Collingwood's KC's try to go with, he could be in trouble.

Van Rooyen clearly elbows McStay in the head and not a murmur from the commentators…

They just did.

So when preforming football acts there's an exception.

Is a smother a football act?

Is a tackle?

 

[Imet Hassa]

Really. Commentators trying to get him off already. Chose to leave the ground, hit the head, knocked the player out. You’ve got to be kidding.

 

[HairyO]

Left the ground to smother the kick. AFL will try it but he shouldnt go. May as well go to touch footy if that is a suspension

And if its cleared then players should always jump when bumping and claim it was a smother attempt. Even though the ball was already 5m away, having been kicked.

Before the start of this match it had been agreed that if you leave the ground and collect someone high its your responsibility.

Apparently now its ok. So start jumping and collecting heads. Open season fellas !

 

[SC_Power]

I do wonder how Maynard falls on the ground.

Does he turn and hip shoulder the ground, or does he put his hands out to protect himself and cushion the impact?

 

[Shinboner '07]

Player subbed out on a stretcher. Has to be 3 or 4 weeks

It may have started out as a smother but it certainly didn't finish as one.

 

[Theo X]

Deliberately turns his shoulder towards Bradshaw's head, that's no accident, shouldn't play again this year.
Jvr will get suspended too probably

 

[mouncey2franklin]

So when preforming football acts there's an exception.

When contesting a mark there's an exception, as you know full well.

Maynard wasn't contesting a mark, as you know full well.

Please stop playing dumb.

 

[Smeg Head]

High Contact, min High Impact.

Lets see if the AFL be hypocrites to get him off since Maynard has a duty of care there regardless of intent.

 

[HairyO]

Just watched. Used both hands to reduce impact when hitting the ground.

Hrmmmmm.

 

[maskmcgee]

Even though the ball was already 5m away, having been kicked.

Yea sure he jumped way after the ball was kicked, no hope of smothering it at all
