fans are calling for Brayden Maynard to be fined after the Collingwood player
appeared to play-act in order to win a free-kick against the Suns on Saturday night. Maynard became the latest player
embroiled in the ‘staging’ controversy after going to ground in exaggerated
fashion after receiving a whack from Gold Coast player Ben Long.
Long lashed out at Maynard and hit him in the mid-section, but the Collingwood
player appeared to overreact and flop onto the ground to win a free-kick.
Maynard even appeared to put his hands on his head while he was on the ground, even though he’d been hit in the chest.
