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

    Geez, I hope the AFL have what it takes to exercise (what I believe is their right) to appeal this decision.

    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

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

      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?
