If Maynard goes for that I will delete my bigfooty account because there was absolutely NOTHING he could do to avoid that and I wouldn’t want to follow a sport that’s gone absolutely ******* mental over head high contact

Don't know about that.
He should have pat Brayshaw on the head instead of protecting himself.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Nothing wrong at all wrong with what he did, barely a free kick.

Problem is Melbourne are now at a huge disadvantage.

Perhaps not jump?

I am not sure some of you in this thread have ever done anything athletic in your lives if you think that was some kind of thug move

They all think you can cartwheel to the side in less than half a second also.

A lot of posters in here clearly failed physics...

 

[Whowants2know]

Turned his shoulder 2 weeks

 

[intangible]

If you have read the script the player is culpable once they make a decision = duty of care. That wasn't a realistic smother and instead of just following through he cleaned him up. I'm sure it ends up that he can still.play GF. Non suspension for knocking someone out after the new lines drawn (whether we agree with it or not) would be laughable.

 

[Osho]

Wowee, lovin it so far.

 

[Jimmybob]

Melbourne fans need to make more noise

Too busy eating their cheese platters

 

[Rob R]

4 weeks. Chose to jump and chose to bump and knocked a bloke out. Duty of care rule gotta be consistent here

So jumping to block a kick is now illegal?

Pies keepin it simple in the wet.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Mate he was protecting his body

It was a split second decision.

At the expense of Brayshaw's head

 

[Rod Stroker]

Salem is such an under rated half back flanker. Amazing skills

Have you watched the bloke you’re defending play football ?

 

[bzparkes]

Commentators desperately trying to excuse Maynard even though Maynard dropped his shoulder into Brayshaw from a height

He didn't need to tuck in and point his shoulder into Brayshaw's head

Yeah mate, he went from smothering the ball into the Peoples' Elbow in .3 of a second.

What a champ

 

[Jimmybob]

May as well just not play if you can’t attempt to smother the ball. Get a grip

And that's he problem. He's turned to brace.

 

[Xtreme]

Game has delivered already

Gill gave them a free pass, gotta get people more pumped for Thursday night footy!!

 

[Magnum27]

Olympic divers can flip and twist all over the place while in the air.

Being in the air does not freeze your body.

I didn't know Maynard was an Olympic diver as well, what a ridiculous comparison.

 

[hawkman]

Yes Maynard went for the smother, but then changed to a bump when it was gone, BT needs to take the black and white off

Turns his shoulder the other way and everyone would be fine

 

[FreoGirl]

Collingwood fans booing Viney. Talk about a basic supporter base.

Absolutely disgusting - I used to defend their supporters

 

[Supersuns]

Cox beating Gawn lol

Most players don't do that.

 

[TW Sherrin]

You feral pigs. Booing Viney. Maynard won’t play again this year

Maynard doesn't play for Geelong

 

[Chuckie357]

Cox is a w***er. Thinks he’s lebron James in the the nba

 

[Osho]

Cox beating Gawn lol

Cox BOG so far!
