Re Maynard, slept (although not much, too pumped) on it and re watched it. I really think he’s in trouble. The grading is simple, he’s off to the tribunal regardless of intension facing at least 3 weeks because it’s clearly severe impact.

MC will not risk the wrath of the world by saying it’s a footy act. If he does we should be buying the guy dinner for the rest of his life. At BEST he will send it to the tribunal without a ruling which he has done before. I think that’s the best we can realistically hope for. He’s not brave, he won’t set the presedent here given all the focus on the head.

For mine, Maynard jumped, the precedent is clear, once you jump you’re responsible for the impacts there after. A footy act is taking a screamer then falling across the oppositions head. I don’t think a defensive act will be covered.

It’s shit, but at least Noble gets his shot at being a premiership player. Hope I’m wrong.

By all of your reasoning Cam Rayner should have been suspended for 3 weeks for his hit on Jakob Ryan who was concussed as a result of:

1. Off the ground
2. High contact
3. Severe impact

Act of making vs a spoil. But I agree. I’d be using similar examples. Someone going for a big mark then collecting a player is a football act. The argument comes down to, was it careless or a football act. Dunno. I’m expecting 3 weeks.

Hypothetically, if Maynard got a fingertip on the ball and then collected Brayshaw would that influence the outcome?….

The footage shows Maynard more so landing on Brayshaw than cannoning into him as Pickett did with his hit on Bailey Smith earlier this year. Pickett ONLY received a two game suspension which was a far worse act than Maynards.

^that would be interesting wouldn’t it. What would happen if he fully smothered it then braced for impact?
Don’t envy MC at all here.

… Except Pickett’s ‘victim’ got up and played on from memory. Like it or not, Brayshaw getting stretchered off will have some bearing.

It’s pretty cool right now. I am looking forward to the swans game tonight but more importantly to re-watching last night. Pretty excited about the next three weeks

[Raw Hammer]

I don't want to be 'that' (insensitive) guy, but does Brayshaw's concussion history mean Maynard's incidental contact would likely not have knocked out another opponent?

[Mr Miyagi]

Definitely added to the drama and treating it as more serious than it was, the reactions and commentary especially. Also, apparently the telecast showed Jordy limping off at the same time as Brayshaw knocked out without any video of Maynard, and some people thought Jordy had done it.

You could slam a dunny door and Brayshaw would drop to his knees with concussion. Long history of it. Blokes's not fit for purpose. Shouldn't play. Slightest knock and he goes down like a sack of turds.

I think you’re pretty safe Hammer. I think Woods has the award for ‘insensitive guy of the year’ all wrapped up after that post!

I always thought Hiss was a spoof account

Mark my word Hiss always was and is Eddie McGuire having some fun.

Dunno, but it sure as heck says that those stupid bicycle helmets do NOTHING. Some people have crystal skulls (the boxers' proverbial glass jaw).

[23 YIPPEE!!!]

For the preliminary ill select a line up like this:

FB: Frampton Moore Quaynor
CB: Maynard Murphy Crisp
C: Josh Daicos Pendles Nick Daicos
CF: Hill Checkers McCreery
FF: Elliott McStay Adams
R: Cox JDG Mitchell
INT: Cameron WHE Side Howe
SUB: Ginny

If Maynard is rubbed out then Howe takes his spot on CB and Lipinski comes in.

Good to have Nick back as well.

[Damien]

If Maynard goes I’d be pretty surprised if Johnny Noble didn’t get a recall.

[David]

Yep, it’d be Daicos in for Lipinski, Noble in for Maynard I reckon. Reckon Ginnivan will be starting 22 for the prelim too.

I know a lot of us were wrong about Lipinski being dropped for the Qualifying Final, which suggests that the selection committee rates him more than the fans, but the stats don’t lie that he was one of our least effective contributors last night, and he’s hardly playing a unique role. So surely must be on thin ice now.
