Player Watch Brayden Maynard

[Seedsfan]

Not when someone is KO'd.

Lol the hit did not knock him out. The club will challenge this. The AFL’s ruling here is pathetic

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

He did nothing wrong. We simply must challenge this

I think you better get your head around the new rules regarding the act, intent and possible outcome of an action, then you will see why he copped 2 weeks and Krueger got 1.....

Kruger would miss anyway with the concussion. We simply have to challenge this. The bloke did absolutely nothing wrong. People are trying to claim it was late and he punched in the head and that is just garbage. It was not late and he got the ball.

Can’t complain about Maynard. Really silly act, particularly given it was a meaningless practice game. Hopefully he learns from this.

Krueger is unlucky.

Krueger would have played if he wasn’t suspended. The 12 day concussion protocol would have ended Thursday week apparently....

He got the ball, it wasn’t late and was in play. We have to challenge. You simply can not suspend someone because they hit their head on the deck

And Kruger FMD is going for the ball then tried to protect himself and got knocked out. Yes it is 12 days to round one so there is a chance that he may of got singed off. But clearly the system is a mess when you suspend someone for one game that they would have automatically become unavailable for. Being a Collingwood player and playing ANZAC it is a probability when it falls mid week that you could be ruled out for two weeks with a concussion

Maynard clearly made contact with the players head which caused the incident. It’s about as cut and dry as it gets.

Exactly, cop the 2 weeks and move on

It's a bottom 4 year anyway so who cares

And? The contact was negligible, the fact he hit his head on the ground is irrelevant

The contact was not negligible. The player was clearly impacted by the hit which is why he didn’t protect himself when he hit the ground.

It was an undisciplined act that has been punished correctly.

What a surprise.

Lol so the whiplash is a result of slight contact

I’m saying that Maynard’s contact with his arm was not negligible.

If it isn’t for the whiplash when he hits the deck there is no case to answer

if he didnt wack a bloke in the head he wouldn't have a case to answer either.

Maynard initiative contact and the GWS player was concussed. That’s all that matters.

Oh really? Wow, I am amazed with your logic. So if Maynard didn't strike he would have still hit his head and self concussed himself? The objective of the AFL is to prevent head injuries and Maynard's action led to one. He has to learn to be more careful in future.

Well then the games dead, it’s simple enough if you don’t want to take any risks don’t play but shit happens you just overreacted because someone gets hurt. Off all the logic being presented Maynard should have still gone it it was just body contact. The AFL has ****ed up here and it’s on the club to take a stand

He never punched anyone in the head like you claimed

The impact of concussion is probably the biggest issue facing the game. The AFL are taking action. In ten years time the game will look very different.

You take an informed risk when you go out to play, if you are unwilling to risk your health go find a desk job. Part of the reason there pay is so high is to compensate them for the risks they take

You can expect the occasional flailing arm in a pack to whack you, but Bruzzy stuffed up. When you're going for a standard mark in space , you shouldn't cop a swinging stiff arm to the head.

Starting every post with LOL is clever. You should keep it up. Also recommend that you persist railing against a 2 week suspension for a strike to the head that resulted in a player being KO'd. This type of penalty is quite simply unbelievable. It might be a first.

And don't forget to advertise your ignorance of the concept of causation. That contention that a head hitting the ground after a strike is "irrelevant" should be maintained.

You are the only thing between the game and imminent death.

Thank you. It's pretty simple really isn't it?
