oops and victim blaming, got all the cards out tonight.

"Although we're not critical of anyone moving or deviating from a path, that seems to be a factor that has contributed significantly to there being a collision."

 

[Spange]

Quite the resemblance

 

[EagleEgo]

Funny how in Maynard’s evidence he says he jumped straight up and touched the ball. That’s bullshit

Looks like he had forward momentum rather than straight up.

Probably, he tried to claim he had touched the ball and claimed his right of the space. Honestly, if he did successfully smother the ball, the story could be very different.

 

[Wild Kelly]

"Football act" the current "generational talent".

This "football act" caused "concussion awareness".

 

[ghostbat12]

Is anyone else questioning the fact that even, with his history of serious concussions that Brayshaw is still playing football.

When I read that McCartin had been picked up by Sydney I cringed as I could not believe that there was not a genuine concern that he would be concussed again….. as sure as God made little green apples …….that’s exactly what happened.

Also on the Maynard issue.

What would have happened if a he flew for the mark in a pack and then falls on to Brayshaw and knocks him out ?????

Back to my first question….should Brayshaw even be allowed to still play AFL given his medical history?

As a side are the other players that play against him, more vulnerable to knocking him out and missing games because the medical fraternity won’t make the hard call.

Duty of care has more than one element for consideration.

The one I cringe with is a pack mark with players leading with bent knee straight into the head. Something that is more careless than what Maynard did.

However on Maynard, I think plenty of people have been in situations where you run into other people or there is a tangle. I don’t remember anyone turning their shoulder to shirt front them and saying that’s just a reaction to protect themselves.

it’s usually hands out and chaos to push them out of the way. I do agree he didnt go out to knock brayshaw out. It’s hard to imagine he would do that deliberately. But he didn’t have to do that. He turned his shoulder into him therefore he had time to pick a way forward. Not like brayshaw ran into his shoulder. He turned.

Now whether that would have knocked out brayshaw is hard to know.

 

[UseR2006]

Oh really?

 

[EagleEgo]

Is this professor employed by Collingwood? If he is, can AFL regard his opinion as independent?

 

[UseR2006]

The funniest bit is the Biomechanist said contact was inevitable.
But Maynards guy just said that Brayshaw moved into him so contact wasn't inevitable.
So which is it? Victim blaming or that Maynard caused a situation where it was unavoidable that Maynard was going to smash him in the head?

You see, Angus? If you had gone left instead of right like the other footballers then Brayden wouldn't have had to collect you in the head and potentially end your career. It's your fault.

BS. Most players going full tilt drop the ball slightly outside their right foot as it enables you to swing your leg through the ball, stands to reason you would veer slightly to the right on landing.

You just know this campaigner will get off.

They leaning hard now in the Brayshaw hit Maynard defense.

Tribunal now Deliberating.

I ran over the pedestrian coz they ran in my way when I swerved on the footpath.

Clearly an excellent defense to vehicular homicide.

[squashface]

But Your Honour, he ran into my knife!

 

[Dazzler9]

Either party will appeal tonight's outcome, so does it even matter?

Pies may as well, basically a free hit.

AFL will have to, just to be seen to be taking concussion seriously, with a wave of class actions coming down the pipeline.

Fair dinkum knew a bloke who used this a defence, killed the other bloke stone dead and he got off.

Did he play for Collingwood?

 

[Seadog]

Did he play for Collingwood?

No but he was the right demographic to qualify as a supporter..
