AFL tribunal caved in to media pressure to clear Maynard. Shows the power of propaganda.

    That is not true, they have an AFL hub up at Cavanbah.

    Perhaps you feel that way because of the Gold Coast link and area,  

    Byron wear magpie jumpers so I made the decision not to support them when I found that out earlier this year.

    Gerard Whateley interviewing Toby Greene tonight on 360:

    Whateley: So Toby, let’s start with the Maynard case. Did you have empathy for him throughout the week, with all the scrutiny he had to put up with.

    Greene: No.

    Toby Greene has just gone up a Millenium in my opinion!😁

    Get over guys…I am angered, but we have a game of football to win. MFC, if they are fair dinkum, will channel the aggression on Friday night and win. I’d be happy to win and get a few suspensions, just to make a point. Practice the flying smother bumps this week

    You know what always works? Telling people to calm down or get over it. 10 times out of 10 everyone does just that.

    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. 

    How about letting people vent ffs?!?!

    Wishing ill on an opposition player is quite natural when you’re a passionate af supporter and your team’s just been screwed over in such a way. I’m wishing ill on the whole [censored] Collingwood team right now. I’m sure I’m not alone.

    Suspect we'll see some rule changes next season.

     

    I wonder...

    To do so would be to admit error.

    Might open a very big can of worms.

    AFL might have tripped up.

    There will be many a party  gobsmacked and seething.

    My true wish is that these Turkies get sued in later years for failing to stop acts like this with non decisions. 

    Where is the deterrent?

    Talk about precedence. 

    The sad thing is, most of expected this. Shows how flawed it all is.

    Thanks for the insights guys.

    Let's just dream of winning 8 more quarters and then.....

    Good night. Kiss your loved ones.

    There are plenty of teams to play for in the adapted game, of 9 on 9.

    Not to mention that since Friday all I’ve read is Collingwood fans wishing injury to Gus and his entire family. 
    But hey Collingwood can do whatever they want.

    Yeah that was the biggest dog act. I will never forgive or forget that one either. If I ever see Michael Long in the street I will remind him that he is and always will be a gutless sniper.

    Martin will wish his case went first and I would have expected Carlton to have agitated for this .Sadly and completely unjustly he will be offered to the public by the AFL as the sacrifice for Maynard decision.Martin  now does not have a chance and is not playing Friday night.

    "I make absolutely no apologies for the fact that this has taken nearly three hours.

    A footballer was concussed and stretchered from the MCG in a final, another footballer has got a couple of pretty important games he’ll either play in or miss depending in part on what we decide tonight."

    I understand your sentiment, I found the area to have a very diverse cultural mix. Get stuck in one group and it is like the others don't exist.

    That area has it all, up to you to look.

    Has anyone on here read the findings. This line.

    Brayshaw could’ve executed his kick in a different direction or in a different manner, landed in a different manner or in a slightly different location.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
