If Maynard put his arms down to protect himself, he would be fine. But he turned which is the bit that'll be his undoing.
We have to argue it wasn’t careless and he merely turned to protect himself, the act was a football act. You shouldn’t get rubbed out for it.
I’m slightly the other way. Gets the 3 because spineless MC (though I would want any other job tonight) and we’ll argue it to a football act.
But really, who the %$^ knows.
The match day thread is for unfiltered BS knee jerk reactions. The time for level headed comment comes after.

1. Football act and free to play.
2. Careless, high contact, severe impact, 3 weeks and we appeal.
3. MC says “Nup” and refers directly to the tribunal with no penalty.
I’m glass half empty as we know so I think it will be number 2. I don’t agree, I don’t think it was careless which will be the whole argument. That’s just how I think it will play out.
Should be out soon shouldn’t it?
I don’t know if option 2 exists. I think punishments with 3+ automatically go to the tribunal don’t they? Anything that is “high” and “severe” automatically gets referred.
We’ll be at the tribunal for sure.
This will have nothing to do with Michael Christian - way over his head. Also don’t think arguing it’s not careless works - need to go with the argument that it’s a football action and therefore not even a reportable case and the whole charge gets thrown out.

What a $$%^%%$ joke the AFL is. RIP footy.
What does the afl intervened? If the MRO said it was a footy act and they said no we don’t accept that?

Please - do a little bit of research folks. Have a look at the matrix they use. Anything rated as severe contact, to the head goes to the tribunal. They’ve graded it severe because he went off on a stretcher and was concussed so must have hit him in the head. Ipso facto direct to the tribunal. It’s not a conspiracy.
This is out of Chrisso’s hands, and actually has stuff all to do with the individuals administering the league.
The people we need to worry about are the appeals board - which we might need by about Wednesday next week. That will also be out of the AFLs hands (how many times has a club and a slick barrister beaten the league in a courtroom? Answer: lots)
Strap in - this will drag on and we may well be in court late next week.

Yeah I agree, I thought severe contact intensional went straight there, not in intentional?
I just want to know what “the afl intervened” means.

The Match Review Officer and executive general manager of football Laura Kane graded the incident as careless conduct, severe impact and high contact, drawing a minimum three-match ban and means Maynard's season could be over.

Exactly what I said would happen? Well, I have it the highest chance.
It was never going to be anything else really.
What I don’t understand is what does Laura Kane have to do with it?

Sounds more like Christian ruled it a football accident, as every ex player has said today, but the AFL has stepped in and charged him.

Correction, it says the MRO and Laura Kane graded it.
