AFL tribunal verdict on Brayden Maynard won't sit well with everyone
Collingwood star's hit on Angus Brayshaw a footy act, he says
Incident has been well-documented and became one of the most talked about moments of the season
The Maynard-Angus Brayshaw incident has been well-documented and became one of the most talked about moments of the season. Collingwood star Brayden Maynard was sent straight to the tribunal by the MRO and AFL after he knocked out Melbourne onballer Angus Brayshaw in Thursday's match. Maynard was controversially sent to the tribunal after he knocked out Melbourne's Angus Brayshaw with a heavy hit. The hit has been widely condemned by commentators and fans, and some are calling for Maynard to be suspended for multiple weeks.
Maynard has since said that he "doesn't regret" the hit, and that it was a "footy act". He also said that he has "no regrets" about the hit, and that he was "just playing the game". Maynard's comments are likely to further anger fans and commentators, and could increase the likelihood of him receiving a lengthy suspension.
