Скачать или смотреть Bill Shorten weighs in on 'reputation' of Brayden Maynard ahead of tribunal case

NDIS Minister Bill Shorten has weighed in on the hit which saw Collingwood’s Brayden Maynard collide with Melbourne’s Angus Brayshaw during an attempted smother while he also referenced the Magpie defender's reputation.

Mr Shorten expressed his condolences to the concussed Angus Brayshaw but stood firmly on Brayden Maynard’s reputation of “being a fair player”.

“I genuinely thought, the guy is propelling himself through the air, he can’t just go from fifth gear and slam on the brakes,” he told Sky News Australia.

“I feel for Angus Brayshaw, that’s obviously very bad to have that injury, but the fellow in question seems to have a pretty good reputation around the place of being a fair player.

“You got me commenting on the issue … politicians should stay out of it, we will leave it for the tribunal, but go Pies.”
