Doesn't matter.... Don't they grade it on the end result? He should get a few weeks if they're being fair.
Here's a list of games we lost this year, despite having more scoring shots:
R2 - Richmond - 26 scoring shots to 23, lost by 32
R7 - Collingwood - 23 scoring shots to 19, lost by 1
R15 - Collingwood - 25 scoring shots to 22, lost by 2
R19 - Melbourne - 28 scoring shots to 27, lost by 4
R22 - Brisbane - 28 scoring shots to 24, lost by 6
R23 - Sydney - 23 scoring shots to 19, lost by 1 ** actually won the game, but were cheated out of the points by the AFL
Here's a list of games we won this year, despite having fewer scoring shots:
R11 - Brisbane - 29 scoring shots to 25, won by 21
So... Adelaide's inability to kick between the big sticks cost us 6x as many wins, as did our opposition's inaccuracy. It goes both ways, but 6:1 is a big ratio.
They didn’t use this logic with the MaCartin hit on McAdam
How many rushed? How hard were the shots?
This is very surface level analysis. I mean we would've had to be much more accurate than Richmond to win, we got smashed.
Against the Dees it was 13.15 to 14.13, that's not wildly inaccurate.

Killing with a smile
It feels like we kick worse when the games are close.
I don't have that breakdown - but there were a lot of very gettable shots in those games. Far too many players missing set shots from 30m dead in front, and 20m on a slight angle.

"It's a little bit about just how much work goes into something, and in the movie Oppenheimer it was to go into the atomic bomb that ended World War II,"
This comment from Wines really just drips with, 'I just watched a movie and now I'm an expert on the subject' vibes.
They should have just run with a ****ing Barbie theme.
A boofy footy coach trying to discuss the intricacies of the use of nuclear bombs during world war II was just ****ing idiotic.
Then for Ken to not own up to the mistep is ****ing disgusting. What a piece of work.

Atomic bomb debate overshadows Power's AFL finals clash with Brisbane
As his side prepares for its biggest game of the year so far, Power coach Ken Hinkley has been drawn into a debate over the movie Oppenheimer, and whether the events it depicts are an appropriate motivating force.

That actually looks better than the black and white version..It just needs to be Black and Teal instead of Black and White.
Simple.

To be fair didn’t our players watch some antarctic documentary then rave on about it and we aren’t even in the finals
No way can I barrack for Carlton, but Sydney don't deserve to be there.
What a shitshow.
I suppose if Sydney win the topic of us been ripped off will get some more air time.

This. It's complete rubbish that Maynard had no option but to brace with his arms down as to connect with his head.
If his arms were down to begin with, then yes. But they were up, so the next reflex (unless you wanted to be physical) would be to put your hands out and push him. Likely would have been high contact, but at least not a firm shoulder to the face.
I agree with this concept in 2023. We lost games purely from inaccuracy from gettable shots.
However this doesn't account for the fact that some teams force you to take shots from harder positions and on the other hand, they get goals from easy positions purely because they were the better team.
The argument that it was unavoidable because he couldn’t have made any other decision mid air is crazy to me, the incident happened because he made a decision mid air. Initially puts his arms up to smother then immediately changes his positioning to that of a bump. There’s a reason 99.9% of smothers don’t result in something like that, because players know they have a duty of care for their opponents. Dangerous precedent being set here if this is just waved off as a footy act

The Dees game was a shocker for easy shots missed in first qtr. There were 3-4 regulation shots all from about 35m out slight angle.

Maynard straight to tribunal. Looks like he's goneski. They're saying 3 games.
Geez what a joke
