Never thought Fritsch's head could be even more punchable than it already was but here we are...

Maynard will probably get off because he plays for Collingwood, but he turned his body in the air and concussed Brayshaw. Mansell was given 3 weeks for turning his body to protect himself in a football act because the Freo player ended up concussed.

Here's the vision of the incident.



Verdict?

[JP Tiger]

It is split second stuff, but these are elite athletes we are talking about here.  Maynard missed the smother by not much & was in mid air when he made a choice to turn his shoulder inwards, bracing for impact. 
If Mansell deserved a suspension then so does Maynard ... 

4 weeks, lucky not to be 8!

Also, if I'm not mistaken, didn't Maynard recently clean up another player in a very similar incident?  Rushing in to smother & crunching the kicker with a shoulder?  I believe this earlier incident wasn't even sited?

Maynard should get off surely.

Mansell got targeted because he's Richmond/indig

that has to be satire regarding mansell surely

I think he should get off but don't give a stuff tbh

[Francois Jackson]

He shouldn't get off. He turned his shoulder and chose to bump.

He gets off not because he Maynard but because it's finals.

If he doesnt brace he end ups knocking himself and Brayshaw out

Mansell did the same and got 3 weeks

lmao @ people thinking the AFL would actively and willfully discriminate against an indigenous player in this day and age and under the current moral & social zeitgeist....

yep, which means it's all about outcome and not the actual act. Unless they change their mind again

I'm not 100% convinced but they sure as heck went after Pickett for every little thing and I'm at a loss otherwise

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.

I hate Carlton but they could be looking at a Prelim. Scoreboard still close enough but the Blues are all over the Swans. And if Melbourne who they would play next can't fix their forward line probs then it will open the door for Carlton.

No surprise. If Mansell got 3 weeks for simply contesting a loose ball, then Maynard was going to be sent to the Tribunal as well looking at the same penalty. The MRO focusses on the outcome. If your opponent is concussed and taken off for the rest of the game then you're in trouble even if it's a football act.
