Maynard incident > Maynard rule > Brayshaw retirement

[The Starcevich Coterie]

Yes, this is exactly the defence that needs to be made.

It was Brayshaw who made the split second movement into the centre of Maynards's path thereby increasing the impact and potential for injury exponentially. Unfortunately he came off second best.

Maynard held his line of movement; initially toward Brayshaw's right shoulder and over his kicking leg...

Maynard offered 7 weeks and a referral from the AFL on behalf of Brayshaw family to a Civil court on charges of assault.

[The Starcevich Coterie]

I can't believe that not more is made of Brayshaw's movement into the central of Maynard's path of movement.

Cornes and Healey on SEN just said that they 'hadn't seen that angle...'.

Open your eyes boys. It obvious from the behind the goal vision that is freely available to everyone!

[Damien]

'Maynard says he felt the ball hitting his hand during his spoil attempt.' So he partially effected a smother which was the aim of the action.

You see the ball deviate in the vision. Regardless of the result tonight it will drag on, I suspect the AFL will appeal if he is cleared.

Indeed, we can see the ball go back...and to the left. Back...and to the left

‘That’s one magic loogie”

‘There had to be a second smotherer”

The AFL and Laura Kane are embarrassing themselves here. I assumed there must have been credible argument explaining why Michael Christian was overruled, but it seems there is not.

Like every other business run by professional managers who do not understand the business, the AFL is showing the perils of being run by lawyers who have never played the game and do not really understand it.

and that's the issue here.

Ihle (Pies) says many players who kick the ball at full tilt with their right foot go off to their left, rather than their right as Brayshaw did.

Ihle (Pies) says expecting Maynard to compute what the AFL has said he should've computed is "unrealistic" and "unreasonable".

Gleeson: The duty of care is informed by what is reasonable, not the expectation of the remarkable. Maynard won't be found careless if we find he simply failed to do the remarkable.

The real issue here is that even if he is acquitted he will carry the stain of this sht fest for life.

[Damien]

I’m liking what I’m reading so far. A bit like a protest after a race, the longer it goes, the more likely is that it’s upheld. In our case, the longer it goes, the more likely Bruz walks. If that happens there will be outrage in some sectors but the good thing is we don’t play this weekend so come PF time it’ll be yesterdays news.

[Haff]

This notion that he jumped and is to blame means that anyone going for a jump and mark is responsible for the outcome. Rayner, sorry mate, good successful mark, 3 weeks for careless conduct.
This might be the end for the afl. In all seriousness.

Unfortunately yes.

Agree Damo. I'd like to see this 'purple lane' 'yellow lane' they're talking about.

The Pies are showing behind the goals vision of the incident, with a purple coloured lane for Maynard and yellow coloured lane for Brayshaw, arguing Brayshaw veered into the Maynard's lane and not the other way around.

I hope old Caro is shitting her pants now, cos he may just get off.

Purple lane. Purple lane.

I think the spirit of Millane may have come hard off the traditional HFF and inquired about his father!
