The AFL won’t appeal it sounded like they hardly argued. just went through the motions 

That’s because they DID hardly argue!!! I was labelled a tinfoil hat wearer but it’s the truth. The AFL had so many brilliant points to argue… but chose not to. They got what they want.

    Why is Jvr suspended?

     

    May as well have brought JVR to the tribunal seeing the tribunal will be throwing cases out like hard rubbish.

    Nothing surer than Martin being free to play.

    Dropping the shoulder into the opponent's head after a smother attempt is now legal in footy opening the flood gates for others to do it 

    Watch it happen more often in junior ranks

    Great legacy Gil

    I want Goodwin to come out and say 'OK we're going to train the smother'.

    Will Brayshaw be cited for a dangerous block? I mean he kicked the ball then moved toward Maynard in a menacing manner.

    Gil McLachlan, what a legacy you've delivered.

    Match day experience is horrible. 

    The game is becoming a mess

    The MRO is a farce.

    Roy and HG have been calling you the murderer for years. They are spot on.

    You've killed this game for many of us. But not your financial partners hey.

    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

    Incompetent or else they were drawing out all their arguments against which to appeal 

    What would Occam say?


    That’s the last straw for me. Off to wtch local footy next year. Would have got weeks in EDFL.

    Absolutely gutted by this decision of the panel.

    The fact that the AFL themselves (Gleeson) instructed the tribunal to consider the fact that Maynard may miss finals/important games says all you need to know about the whole case.

    Quite honestly nothing would make me happier than to watch GWS or Port absolutely physically destroy them. 
    Go on Toby, let’s test out that mangled arm of his. 

    Me too. I want them out in the next game. I want them beaten by 60 points. The corrupt AFL wants them in the GF. I want them out.


    Just run through and shirtfront( better yet clothes-line) your opponents...   surely it'd be their fault.

    I'm glad I moved to Byron Bay where no one gives a [censored] about AFL and I can forget about football for a while.

    The crappiest part is we can’t do anything unless we stop attending the footy.

    What we can do in the meantime is get our boys over the line on Friday night. They need us more than ever.

    Yeah it was a football act, he came in and gave Blakey a good whack to the head. That’s footy, surely?

    However frustrated you and I feel, wishing physical harm on a player is not called for. 
     

    Reverse the roles an imagine what you would say if other teams wished harm on one of our players.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
