We should appeal. Worst result should be downgraded to one week.
Yes, if we get over this week, and I reckon we can, we'd need him badly the next week.
2 weeks, Christian could not be serious. Medium impact at worst, which is a week. Could live with that.

The contact in our contact sport has been systematically removed by the AFL over a number of years. They've got some serious compensation pay-outs coming their way and they're trying to minimize the damage. Don't blame them really.
All i'm saying is footy is a contact sport and in contact sports there is.....wait for it....contact. Some of which is incidental/accidental. Nobody is to blame. Its just footy.
If Maynard goes there's one more "accident" that will get potentially eradicated from the game. How funny will it be when he gets off and our bloke misses 2 weeks for what he did. Hilarious.
Anyway, this feels like one of your endless ruck debates, so I'll sign of with this.

Take off the navy glasses mate. It will solve this 'debate problem' instantly.

I thought Martin punched Blakey straight in the jaw..it's not a case of innocent or guilty it's more about how many weeks.
Maynards antics are not so cut and dry and it's intent vs a football act where accidents can happen.
Because Maynard has a tough guy reputation it has some more spice to it.
Melbourne especially their coach are not happy losing Brayshaw and want a suspension and Blakey wasn't happy either after having to come off.
My tip..Martin a week, with a carry over suspended week after appeal and Maynard will get off...

Yes, I think Martin will just have a week at the end of it, and Maynard may well get off but will go all the way to the Appeal Board. Loser will appeal. In fast motion it certainly does look a footy act but depends how technical the actual rules are these days, especially with Maynard airborne and the shoulder collecting him. AFL really tightened their rules to protect the head, hence it is 50/50 IMO. If Maynard gets off, you can bet the rules will be tightened further.

Re Maynard, he seemed to jump longer rather than higher… like he really wanted to lay a hard “softening up” bump disguised as a tackle.

And obviously he can swing through the middle if needed.
