    This. He had no reason to leave the ground. None. 

    He jumped to smother the ball. It was COMPLETELY justified. That he turned the shoulder rather than holding his hands out and coming front on is something else. He’ll get off though, because they’ll argue lack of time and need to protect himself. JVR will get suspended because his eyes weren’t on the ball, and he raised his elbow. Sad, but true.

    I’ll just leave this here:

    Goodwin: “In finals, your vulnerabilities are exposed”

    Our vulnerability is our ability to score. It’s been our vulnerability for 2 years, and we thought we could fix it with an old forward who hasn’t played AFL footy in months

    We didn’t have a choice. If we had petty or melksham or both we win that. What can you do. Injuries play one of the biggest parts in winning flags as we learnt last year and are learning again now

    The Collingwood fans actively cheering Maynard makes me sick. I know that’s what u should expect from Collingwood fans but please, lauding someone who knocked out Gus who himself has a history of concussion is a sickening act. Their degeneracy has sunk to a whole new low.

    Because a [censored] player with form took our a guy intentionally IN A HELMET. A concussion has far worse consequences than any knee injury. 
    This is a guy with form. He’s done it before and he will do it again. Imagine being Gus’ poor mum! 

    I love your passion jaded but you should never wish an acl on a player. It’s the worst injury in sport. Cox is snide and Maynard is a peanut for sure but a players career is short. I just hope Maynard gets the ban he deserves. And I would not mind seeing a stray knee in coxs back

    How does that get off if Toby Bedford gets a week. He hit him in the head, feet off the ground. That’s the end of it, surely

    Whew.  Nearly got there.  The stats would say we should have won it, but the scoreboard disagrees.  First q was putrid.  We kicked ourselves out of it, those long bombs to outnumbered forwards didn’t work,  so why not try something different?

    Really dislike Mason Cox.

    thought the maggots were very ordinary.

    gotta get there the long way…. Cmon demons!

    Don't give a [censored]. I don't wish that [censored] on my own worst enemy. 

    Clearly never done a long term injury and the mental struggles you go through when you're trying to rehabilitate all over again.

    It's a contact sport where there'll be big hits here and there. I don't like what Maynard did also but wishing him and Cox ACL injuries is disgusting.

    Didn't think you'd stoop this low.

    Did Bailey Laurie do anything in that final quarter?

    Did nothing for 3 1/2 quarters.  Fumbled.  Could easily be delisted. Could trade him to Adelaide for Mcadam.  Easily.  Easily.

    Give me a f..kin spell you Goodwin haters.  They lost it with to many missed opportunities.  The coach can’t kick it for them FFS 

    No, but he could've insisted we trade for a young, quality key forward over the last 5 years.

    BBB was always going to be a one year wonder

    Oliver’s stats on paper look pretty impressive. 31 touches, 742 metres gained and 10 tackles for negligible influence on the game. Still gets the ball but looks slow and not as decisive as he was before injured.

    We have lost 3 finals in a row, potentially 4.

    5 - 1 after GF day 2021.

    5 - 4 today, if we lose next week... 5 - 5, with this list? 🧐

    Don't know why chandlers been gifted so many. 

    Perhaps our biggest deficiency is the lack of quality small forwards.

    None are instinctive crumbers, most lack speed and they’re not that good at applying defensive pressure. The exception is Pickett, who is inconsistent and too often wasteful.

    Toby Bedford would have been a very nice keep.

    And you’ve obviously never known someone who has long term health impacts from repeated head injuries. 
    I hope Gus makes a full recovery. Wonder how you’ll feel if he doesn’t play again.

    Sorry but I think its line ball. He was obviously trying to spoil and not sure what else he could've done different on the way down. I hate the guy but I think he will get off.

    He jumped forward more than you usually see toward Gus and then turned his shoulder. I think others would have done that very differently.

    Surely this is the main point. He choose to turn and collect him with his shoulder? Isn’t the question they have been asking all season - “ how could he have avoided the contact?” By not choosing to hit him with his shoulder!! He had other options

    A travesty if any of of these prognostications come to pass.  In this millenium you don't need to knock players out with your shoulder.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
