Player Watch Brayden Maynard

[Karma4Pies]

HAHAH this is silly. Don’t jump on heads, don’t ever tackle and don’t kick when a player is on the ground then…

And the nupty's on the main board a so short-sighted they're gunning for Maynard to get weeks. This could ruin the fabric of the game.

The jumping towards the player with force line is ridiculous considering he leapt at the ball.

Yes, complete misrepresentation of what occurred.

 

[sam_e]

in the history of football, there has NEVER been any player embrace or cuddle another player moving in the opposite direction, especially when one of them his hurtling through the air

..so tell me, how is that "reasonable"?

The line being put forth by the AFL lawyer seems mightily weak to me.

Absolutely. Maynard was drafted 2014 (?). And played footy since juniors. Probably attempted to smother/spoil thousands of kicks and never knocked a bloke out. It happens once as a freak accident and he’s meant to have considered a duty of care before defending as per his job in the team.

What the * is he on about? Did we plant this numpty?

 

[lvandinter]

This is a genuine piss take now from the AFL

 

[BigApplePie]

I've got to say. The fact I'm following a tribunal hearing like a match at 2:44 AM local time may be a sign I've gotten way too into this sport of yours.

 

[JB1975]

The AFL has actually lost its f***ing mind. Plot...completely lost.

Only part of the game which might not harm another player is the coin toss.

They (AFL) don't seem to be trying too hard

 

[Didak Wine]

Lawyer: Did you order the code red?
McRae: Yougodamnright i did

 

[windchimes]

windchimes can’t quote your post, but jeez that’s a stretch if it’s the basis of their argument it was in breach of his duty of care.

Sure is. Pretty weak prosecution hey.

 

[windchimes]

Woods (AFL): A player in this situation who wants to smother, it might just simply be too unsafe to do so because of the forward motion and the forward trajectory.

Woods (AFL): He could've made a more upright jump and not push himself forward in the way he did.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

What…?? Can’t change the rules now

What if you flick the queen in the head

Is this serious?

 

[JB1975]

The game is faster and switches angles more often/rapidly than 'ancient' AFL.

How they make their arguments with a straight face?

 

[sideswipe]

Gleeson is a mad Pie supporter, has to make the right decision

They are the ones who reverse bias themselves against the club. It's happened before.

 

[Seedsman_]

Woods’ position is ridiculous and it goes to show how much of a circus this is.

 

[Kirby]

Sure is. Pretty weak prosecution hey.

Well it's a trumped up charge with a trumped up prosecution.

It was all he could say and it sounds ridiculous because it is ridiculous.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Maynard could have also jumped over Angus too

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

AFL should bite the bullet and just make it touch footy. Pathetic changing rules on the spot regarding contact.

Because they are Idiots and non idea about the Game

 

[JB1975]

A more 'upright' jump? Further away from the ball?

End it now. The AFL has nothing.

Glad this nuffie Woods studied projectile motion as part of his law degree
