Player Watch Brayden Maynard

[sideswipe]

You have NFI trying to front like you are all that. Literally every case somebody gets of the MRO says their was insufficient force to warrant a reportable offence

Not when someone is KO'd.

 

[sr36]

Lol they do, every case someone gets off they say it’s insufficient force

Has there ever been a case under this system where a bloke was knocked out and they said insufficient force?

I'd be shocked if there was. If it's deemed as careless - I can't see why it wouldn't be - and a bloke is injured from it - he's suspended - it's pretty straight forward. Personally, I think it's a pretty good system - much better than the ad hoc vibe of it that used to be the tribunal verdict.

Not when someone is KO'd.

You did actually say in relation to assessing reportable offences.

 

[Horaceg]

Should of grabbed a bit of jumper first and he would of been right

….or used his knee

No. Actually I wrote "terms used by the tribunal". Maynard has already been reported. You can go on a search for the terms in the guidelines too if you like.

 

[Horaceg]

I am in the camp that agrees with Cornes, (f* me, I just said that) the contact alone is a free kick at best, the end result open to interpretation.

He will get rubbed out, imho. He did take his eyes off the ball momentarily and that will play a part.

Hopefully it doesn't get past the MRO and to the tribunal - that'd mean a grading of severe impact and a minimum of three weeks suspension.

Or if Maynard wanted to contest it.

 

[sr36]

We won't contest a careless, high contact, high impact verdict. There's just no chance of over-turning it. It's cut and dried.

All of the above are articles that reference challenges to the tribunal or rulings on insufficient force.

I want to be clear here that Seedsfan is wrong and insufficient force has no place in this discussion in reference to Maynard, but it is a term that is used within tribunal proceedings.

 

[Gabbo64]

It appears Kane doesn't understand the concept of "but for" either. Using that guy as some sort of support to your argument is not a good strategy. Rather than posting childish emojis and meaningless statements like, "absolutely nothing in it whatsoever", why not engage your brain and think through the matter using the tribunal guidelines?

The nature of the contact? Given the act to spoil was intentional the ensuing contact as part of that act makes it, at best, careless.
High contact? Yes.
Impact? Given he missed the rest of the game, probably high.
That is 2 matches

Sounds to me like if you take a specky and knee the opponent in the head, you're on a holiday for a few weeks.

Fair enough

 

[Gymnorhina tibic]

Just watched the incident for the first time, he will and should get a week or 2.

 

[Robroy22]

If he gets suspended for that the game is dead. View attachment 1340107

The inside of his arm makes light contact with his head. Absolutely nothing in it what so ever. Everyone is making a big deal out of it saying he punched him he didn’t

Now that Kane has explained it....Bruzzy's sure to get weeks! Kane has never been correct about anything.

 

[legendstatus]

Footy contest, hit the ball first all good. Move on.

 

[TradeDraft]

Talk going around he get offered 1 Game Suspension

Take that and run away smiling.

No. it's got to be deemed a careless act for a suspension. A specky or attempted specky doesn't get deemed a careless act. A big roundhouse swing at head height that smacks someone in the head does get deemed careless. It seems pretty reasonable to me.

 

[frizzle]

He is getting rubbed out. No doubt in my mind. One or 2 weeks. Pretty pissed at him to be honest. We are already struggling with injuries down back & he lets loose with a cheap shot. Plenty will disagree. Plenty will be totally biased as well. I think Maynard is an awesome player, but that was not one of his finest moments.

 

[Doc1763]

2 weeks, what a bone head

Well Maynard has let the team down with a stupid act in a practice match. Two winnable games in the first two rounds, just made harder with Maynard missing....

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Two weeks is what he should expect given the parameters. He’ll have to take his lumps.

He did nothing wrong. We simply must challenge this
