Maynard incident > Maynard rule > Brayshaw retirement

[think better]

Quite devastating for Brayshaw - never good for anyone to be out of the game for this sort of reason.

I hope Maynard does not internalise this and blame himself. I'm sure it would play on his mind

^ I'd expect Jacqui Louder would be all over this Jo. We're fortunate to have her at the Club.
It couldn't be easy for him. Even from the outset to how his apology was received.
From what we've all read to date, to her involvement on game days, she appears to be one of the key people that have resulted in the reshaping of our Club on and off the field.

Holy moly they showed Brayshaw history with other opponents making contact with his head
No carry on about them just Bruz. It’s a risk of contact sport
Finish the.bleating please

It’s always sad when a player must retire early due to injury, but Brayshaw has been one ‘slight knock’ from retirement for years. He played a fast full contact sport. The percentages were always against him.
The positives outweigh the negatives, played over 100 games & won a premiership.
Good luck to him in the future.

100%
I was talking to Jacqui 2 weeks ago actually, we had a brilliant chat! The atmosphere at the club is second to none right now, and Jacqui will be all over this.
She was in the tent at the practice match too.

I suspect Murphy will soon hang up his boots too. It's a contact sport for sure, but some players, for whatever reason - be it the fragility of their heads, their lack of awareness, their reckless bravery, or a combination of these factors - are more prone to concussion injuries. It also seems that each concussion makes another concussion far more likely.

If Murphy retires then it will be ALL because of the hit to his head by Lincoln McCarthy.
It will have nothing to do with any of his previous concussions.

Maybe not, I thought he had been back in full training but copped a knock in match practice which has seemed to knock all the confidence out of him.
I'd expect him to pull the pin shortly, because 1 more knock will cruel him.

I reckon SPP will be getting 4 weeks for his efforts. What a week to decide to test the tribunal.
One thing is certain the AFL will make clear, if it wasn't already, the bump and contact to the head is out.

I see somewhere “thug” ends Brayshaws career. That’s slander for mine

Baz, suggest you avoid the dog-whistling of individual social media posts. It adds nothing to the discussion.

Only thing I've seen so far is this:

Only taken Carowhine 1 week to pot Maynard and by extension Collingwood.
According to her Maynard is responsible for the medical retirement of Brayshaw.
In reality it was merely the last in a long line of concussions for him.
According to her Maynard shouldn't have made the visit to the Brayshaw home in the days following the incident.
In reality it took great courage for Maynard to turn up in person to offer an apology for what unfolded accidentally.
According to her Maynard is an example of a player that should have been sent off if that rule was to be introduced.
In reality he was cleared by the tribunal.

[Pies4shaw]

Let’s not give it any credence. Maynard accidentally hurt the guy taking a courageous decision to try to smother a kick in a Final. Unfortunate for the fellow he landed on - but such is life.
