That’s my feeling too
If it’s so regular how come I’ve never seen it before?
He had two options. He chose to line him up and make him earn it.
See plenty of players take the other option each week and dodge the contact.

Yeah, he didn't touch it. Misjudged the kick and landed on Brayshaw's head. If you jumped into a player's head for a mark, knee them and knock them out, while completely misjudging the ball so you don't even touch it - I reckon you'd get weeks easilyDidn’t get near it?
It goes past his elbow.
I don't think the game would be any worse off if what Maynard did was banned
Some won’t be happy until men and woman combineMaynard doesn't run in and attempt that smother and he gets a mouthful from the coach for lack of commitment.
You cannot run onto the field in a contact sport and not expect incidental or accidental contact. I'm all for protocols around concussion, but the player accepts a certain amount of risk when they run onto the park.
You reckon a basketballer gets suspended for accidently collecting someone with an elbow on the way down from a dunk? Of course not. If you don't want to cop an impact injury, don't play a team sport, play tennis or golf or something.
This hand wringing is rubbish.

TBH, if he had been thinking clearly, Maynard leaving the ground gave him an easy opportunity to dodge past him.Can’t help but think Brayshaw could have done a bit more to reduce the severity of the contact. Perhaps he didn’t see Maynard coming, or was just being courageous by not deviating .

So what happens if you kick into the man on the mark and knock him out. We no longer have people manning the mark?Yeah, he didn't touch it. Misjudged the kick and landed on Brayshaw's head.

What, he was close to touching it. As I’ve shown with the picture.Yeah, he didn't touch it. Misjudged the kick and landed on Brayshaw's head.

We see that regularly.TBH, if he had been thinking clearly, Maynard leaving the ground gave him an easy opportunity to dodge past him.
If you're that badly skilled you kick into the man on the mark's head with such force they get knocked out you probably deserve a few weeks and to have your AFL contract reviewed due to ineptitudeSo what happens if you kick into the man on the mark and knock him out. We no longer have people manning the mark?
So predictable.There is no thuggery can’t be justified with this sort of carte blanche faux toughness rhetoric
Just needs a few “back in my day…” thrown in
You can even spoil front on now, it’s an automatic free kick, but it’s ok to leap at someone, front on, out of control?
There are various elements in that action that are already banned

It wasn’t a complete misjudgment that’s rubbish.
And why are people ignoring Brayshaws movement to the side, no one can be expected to account for that.
So predictable.
To what extent did Brayshaw try to avoid contact? He was intent on kicking the ball when other options were available to him. How's that for an element?
Is your position that the player accepts no risk of impact injury by stepping out on to the field of play?
You've lost the plot mate.The other thing is the high contact, he jumped from a LONG way back and a LONG way into the air
That was choice. He literally threw himself as far and as high as he could without care about where he was landing or being in control.
Halfway through the leap he realises he’s overegged it, and turns to brave because he realises he’s lost control
It wasn’t that far from Woosha on Modra
Lol, it was nothing like Woosha on Modra!The other thing is the high contact, he jumped from a LONG way back and a LONG way into the air

Looking at these still shots.. and bare with me here.. this could have some unprovable bullshit included!..Yep I’ve posted a few times the screen shots that clearly show brayshaw fell to the side post kicking.
They would have most likely missed had he continued on the path he was on when Maynard made his original decision.

Are you a hacker?Are we talking about your browser history?
So you're position is that ONLY the player without the ball is responsible for the health of the player with the ball. The player with the ball has absolutely no responsibility to avoid contact where that's possible.Agreed. Right answers often are
To what extent is he responsible for another players carelessness?
That’s just craven gymnastics
Pretty early for strawmen isn’t it?
Yeah, Brayshaw's body positioning contributed to the incident.What, he was close to touching it. As I’ve shown with the picture.

DJ would have executed the perfect dummySo you're position is that ONLY the player without the ball is responsible for the health of the player with the ball. The player with the ball has absolutely no responsibility to avoid contact where that's possible.
Brayshaw contributed to the contact by deciding to continue to kick and doing so in a manner to avoid the smother. He chose not to dodge, as he could have.
You're having a laugh if you want the game to be this way.
