It's all about clicks not journalism.
Calling any but a rare few media people journalists is simply wrong - they are click bait robots programmed to follow the $$$$.
This isn't an uninformed rant but a response framed in the terms my recently retired (real) journalist brother in law would use. He stared out as a union shop roundsman and walked out as a widely respected feature writer with a large Melbourne broadsheet who simply refused to countenance the constant editorial interference. |

| Other thing that might go against Bruz is it changed the game for Melb, they couldn’t play Petracca mostly forward which probably cost them a few goals. |

I think it was a football accident. Maynard has jumped high with arms and legs spread to make the kick hard and possible smother. On the way down they collide. Feel for Brayshaw but its not a punishable offence in my book.
As David King said on SEN radio this morning.
“None of us have a blue clue as to where this sits today,”
“We’ve got no idea, have we? We’ve absolutely lost the handle of what is inside the flags in terms of the laws of the game.
“Every person who gave commentary last night have ‘grey area’ in the discussion. We should absolutely know what’s right and wrong.
“I feel for the players, I do. I feel for Brayden Maynard who thinks he’s in the clear today and he’ll be shocked if he’s suspended.”

I hope he gets off, but I think the fairest outcome is that he gets 1 week (I think we'd take that, but still appeal if there was no danger of it being increased) - however I don't think 1 week is in the category of any gradings the incident would fall under, so he'll either get nothing or 2-3 weeks or straight to the tribunal.

Hear what you're saying, but it shouldn't come into it at all if it's deemed an accidental football act.
However, the umpires were clearly swayed to that line of thinking - how Hoskin-Elliot didn't get a free for Viney attacking his head (after ball was back in the centre) was staggering and indicative of the umpires stance for the rest of the game - give Dees the rub of the green because they've lost a player to a questionable act (which is what they thought - they did report him, after all.

The elbow ,or shoulder I think, was in the act of Cox straightening his body up after trying to get the ball out.Just happened to catch him under the chin.I don't think he even knew he was there.Slide tackle was dealt with on the field. |

Mark my words the AFL tried to stitch us up with the umpiring last night, they are not going to let this one go. |
This is Jason Cloke all over again. This is Phill Carmen all over again. This is the AFL doing what they do best during finals when Collingwood are involved. My relevant question is this. IF!! this situation was a high kick coming from somewhere and both players were running in the same directions as Bruz and Brayshaw were running and Maynard flies for the mark and his knee smashes into Brayshaws head, knocking him out and being stretchered off, what happens then Does he get cited, even though, lets say, he marked the ball or even if he NEARLY marked it. Would it even be looked at or would it be a "Football act" with nothing to see here? |

| The hysterical comments vilifying Bruz in the age, herald sun and social media just reinforces to me how many flogs are out in public who have no friggin clue about footy. |

Pretty much how I see it unfolding. AFL House is basically just a bunch of Melbourne Law School graduates who are going to be looking to cover their arses from any future negligence suits. That sort of legal action goes down very poorly at the polo and Melbourne Club, don't you know.
He'll get cited. We'd better lawyer up for once. And Bruz will play because it was obviously an accident.
Remember also that if and when this goes to a real court the AFL won't be able to hide their corruption behind some policy of not recognising precedent. No surprise that a bunch of lawyers decided to drop that inconvenient policy for their internal kangaroo court. They know how hard it is to get the results they want when they have to be consistent about it.
Bruz will play. The club just needs to back him |

dont AFL players sign an injury waiver still?
yes the incident doesnt fit into the MRO criteria and will go straight to tribunal.
tribunal come back with "plays for collingwood, 6 weeks minimum"
then will take 2 weeks to the courts and he gets off. |

He is a dog. What their previous President says about him is 100% true. |
