Brayden Maynard has a nervous wait on Friday to learn if he has any case to answer for his collision with Angus Brayshaw.
Melbourne are seething over Brayden Maynard’s clash with Angus Brayshaw, which left the Demons midfielder concussed and the Collingwood enforcer’s premiership dream in doubt.
Maynard has a nervous wait on Friday to learn if he has any case to answer for his collision with Brayshaw after attempting to smother a kick. The impact of what Maynard described as a “footy act” left Brayshaw sprawled on the turf for several minutes and requiring the motorised stretcher to take him off the field.
A ruling of severe impact would result in Maynard being sent directly to the tribunal to fight a three-game ban. Maynard, though, would avoid suspension if MRO Michael Christian deemed it was reasonable for him to contest the ball in that way.Brayshaw applauded the crowd and gave a thumbs up as he left the field, but Goodwin said the player was “upset” at the prospect of missing finals.
“He’s [Brayshaw] upset. He’s obviously had a history with concussion a long time ago. He’s obviously dealing with some emotion there. But he wants to play finals footy. He’s going to be missing for a few weeks and it’s disappointing.”Melbourne midfielder Alex Neal-Bullen said: “I am not going to comment on that. I don’t want to pour hot water on that. I haven’t really seen the contact too well but I am sure the AFL will deal with that.
