MRP / Trib. Maynard dangerous tackle on Owies?

[Mister Dog]

Mixed comments in the media.

Like Hodge, “nothing to answer”

Phil David “should be a fine, needed to get under him more to hold him up

Owies should be fined for putting himself in danger to milk a free kick at the expense of Maynard. Clearly threw his weight toward the ground leading with his head.

Owies tried to shrug the tackle and throw Maynard off him. They both fell forward largely because of Owies. Shouldn't have even been a freekick

Barass served a week for less, it will be looked at I reckon, AFL have no clue on what is/isn't and are making it up on the run.

I think the worse incident of the night was Schultz on Acres wont get a suspension because the AFL doesn't recognise the act. But my god throwing a shot at a guy behind there back ugly look

 

[Leigh Lowther]

Would be disingenuous to give responsibility to Maynard considering Owies quite clearly attempted to throw maynard over him as he fought to get the ball free.

Owies should be fined

Maybe 1 week. It does look like Bruz lifts Owies off the ground contributing to driving him into the ground.

 

[eddiesmith]

2 weeks for Owies

 

[Captivating]

Cleared.

And Hamish spat out his soup.

Man it must be nice having your guy on the MRP

Yep,,, different strokes for different blokes.

If you think Maynard should be suspended for that you're either very young or you don't understand football very well

So do Carlton train this to milk frees? I can think of three times its happened this year, maybe needs its own thread.

Players create the dangerous tackle to milk a kick, just like ducking for high contacts

Most if not all teams do.
Dunkley even said so in an interview earlier this year.

True teams learn or clever players know how to win the ball

Owies had the stiff leg going which means he was trying to stop falling to the ground but Maynards tackle momentum and Owies not being strong enough in the leg took them both over the falls

Higgins 3 weeks .... with Allir contributing to the outcome by trying to kick ball in the tackle

Maynard zero ... again ... lucky Owies wasn't concussed

Owies arms were pinned ... Allir had an arm free

Rules for some ... rules for others

If Maynard had no case to answer, why wasn't Owies fined for staging?

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Two blokes in a marking contest, instead spoil the ball.

Seems Maynard was hurt even got a free.
