Hes been cleared, FMD. I love this club but done with the game.

I’ll join you if Martin gets off tonight as well.

    When they tell you the AFL isn’t a corrupt piece of trash organization and you want to believe them. But you can’t.

    The fix is in. It’s crystal clear to me that the AFL went to Christian and said “don’t worry mate, we will send this to the Tribunal, will prosecute it for a few minutes and Maynard will get off. Christian withdraws his threat to resign.

    Money talks.

    Well that has opened a can of worms. Anyone can take out an opposing player in the guise of smothering the ball🤬

    Maynard grilled by Chairman 

    Chairman Jeff Gleeson has popped in for a few questions.

    He wants more clarity on why Maynard thinks he couldn't have outstretched his arms to lessen the impact, rather than turning his body.

    "I think, with all due respect, the same outcome would have happened," Maynard said.

    "I feel like when I went to smother, it was a flinch reaction, and like I said, he was in my way."

    Gleeson asks again why Maynard couldn't have left his arms wide open.

    "I feel the same outcome would have happened because it was a collision. It happened very quickly.

    "I didn't see him coming down my line. I saw him to the right of me."

    If Maynard opts to be putting his arms out, there is NOT the same outcome.  That’s wrong.  

    Which he essentially is saying does not matter what he was going to do he was going to flattern gus, far better that he tuck his shoulder into gus's head to save himself from getting hurt. yes i think that arguement will go down well with this mob.

    Well now anything's fair game. I'm staying off social media. Could only imagine what the ferals are saying 

    • Angry 1

    This is [censored] outrageous. How the [censored] can this happen? I’m in disbelief, cannot fathom how they came to this decision. So, bring on the smother!!! It’s a free-for-all. Hope our players smother the [censored] out of every opportunity on Friday. [censored] the AFL. 

    [censored] YOU AFL

    I truly hope they get sued into the ground and cease to exist. 

    If AFL doesn't appeal this I'm [censored] done

    The AFL must appeal the decision if they originally went with a recommended 3+ game penalty

    And what a weak effort prosecuting.  It was as if they couldn't be bothered even trying

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
