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.
