I’m confused about the conflicts of interest here - these have been laid bare through Christian’s conduct and Gleeson’s concern for a player potential missing finals, noting Gleeson is apparently a Collingwood supporter. Oughtn’t our club be raising these concerns?

I feel your expectations are not in line with reality Super.

This comp and those that lead it has shown itself to be completely compromised for decades now.

Absolutely nothing has changed on the inside in terms of its leadershiip style / culture, the influencers from club land (those now participating and other ex offcio power brokers) and no doubt others who have a say in the outcomes and pull some strings.

For as long as you follow this comp and support a team that doesn't sit within the AFL's circle of influence you have to expect more of the same biased outcomes, iniquities and corrupt decisions such as we witnessed last night.

It is not a fair nor equitable competition and probably never will be.

Oh ok so we insult someone with a different view, how mature of you all.

There is a lot of viewing through red and blue glasses here. I guarantee with 100% accuracy if it was gus jumping into Maynard all of your opinions would be reversed. I hate Maynard and think he is a dirty player but in this instance I don't not believe there was malice. I also don't believe either player is to blame hence the football act.

Don't know why I am bothering as you all will only see it 1 way. Next time I'll keep my opinion to myself so I don't get jumped on for having a differing one.

You know AZK that the intent was to have contact and damage after the kick got past the person trying to "smother"

With that intent the intender sought out where most of the opposing body part was. That being the shoulder/head area result ......Brayshaw unconscious.

 

Oops, did Hamish say the quiet part out loud? Good on him.

Presume if there is an appeal (yeh right), it would be based on prosecutorial incompetence.

It's on the front page of the Age as well. I thought it was at a Collingwood function, but apparently it was in a Chinese restaurant and he announced it to the room. How embarrassment - you can even hear his son in the background, telling him to sit down. They are foul, from top to bottom, and they wonder why everybody takes delight in the Collywobbles.


For some reason this smacks of needing to stand up to the bullies while the authorities join in blaming the victim.

What a hero 🤦🏻‍♂️ - PR resuscitation of this [censored] image continues…Jesus wept 😡

If the AFL doesn't appeal then it just proves how totally corrupt it is.

The big clubs like Collingwood and Carlton get their way, but the smaller clubs like Melbourne get shafted.

The AFL has lost all credibility now and it will open itself up to more litigation from former players wishing to sue due to concussion issues.

This is bad karma to screw over Angus Brayshaw and allow Brayden "the Thug" Maynard to get away with what he did! I agree with Shaun Smith the AFL are a disgrace! I hope that both the AFL and Collingwood get what they deserve! Bunch of [censored]!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Let's get this appeal happening 

What’s the point though, Layz? If the AFL were serious about it they would’ve made an effort yesterday instead of that half-arzed waste of time of a presentation they dished up. An appeal would only serve as another unnecessary distraction and further angst.

I thought he moved the right way, opposite to the balls movement. 

If number 4 was playing the ball, he would have gone to his right.

Gus moving diagonally away from the ball means he clears from the impact area, if the ball was being played at.

Number 4 was tracking Gus.

Gus moved the correct way so as to avoid a collision, if was expecting the opponent to attack the ball.

Number 4 launched before he knew where the ball was heading, as shown by having to reach out when in Frisbee mode, therefore he jumped into the players line and had no idea where the ball was.

Football action (haha), and if so then an unrealistic attempt, causing concussion. 

I don't believe Brayshaw was doing anything other than kicking the ball deep forward ... and to do that he had to move naturally to his right for maximum effect (power & distance in the kick)

He probably saw Maynard at the last moment but probably wasn't expecting Maynard to cannon into him ... as was happens a stack of times during the course of a game


Eddie McGuire is the finest example of why the world is a steaming pile of [censored] headed for extinction.

This man led an organisation with systemic racism, and is still allowed a platform from which to exist and express his unnecessary views.

How utterly embarrassing. 

Clock is ticking   AFL appealing?

All i hear is crickets.

From the get go this has almost been entirely about Maynard and Pies playing finals. Brayshaw doesnt exist. Who cares about him except MFC?  Nobody expecially McGuire. 

Unlikely but possible AFL might get its Pies v Blues GF dream game.

Your a bad boy Gus attacking maynarse with your head.Why does the victim get blamed.Sorry your honor but if he wasnt there i would not have shot him

If Maynard apparently had no time to make a decision to lessen the hit on Gus, then likewise Gus had no time to move away from Maynard. This argument they kept going on about goes both ways, but not when you are hellbent on getting a Collingwood player off suspension.

I have a feeling that was the second clearance that Brayshaw successfully had from the centre. So we could assume that Maynard was placed by the Coach where he was to pick Brayshaw uo coming out of the middle. The rest is history.

Maynard actually came off the ground after that as well, didn't he.

Eddie is a fat sack of excrement in a shirt with a face like a frog.

Hope he choked on his spring rolls at that fancy Chinese restaurant he went to!

He is isn't even Collingwood President anymore but he carries on like a pork chop! Shut your [censored] hole of a mouth Eddie!

Watch the fix! Umpires will give the game to the Blues on Friday. 

Whichever umpires have shown the most love towards Carlton this season will get priority selection by Tricky Gil.   He needs MFC out of the finals this Friday to tie up loose ends from Tuesday.

AFL not appealing?  Past the deadline.12 midday. shucks.

 

apart from missing the appeal deadline, has the afl actually made any comment at all re last might's decision?

or is it just going to ignore the elepant in the room and retreat to the quiet corner?

just heard on radio. afl has declared it will not make an appeal and will make a statement later in the day

so we wait for a lot of weasel words prepared by their pr dept. will be nothing to see here.

BREAKING

Case closed: AFL opt against appealling Maynard decision

The Brayden Maynard saga is officially over after the AFL opted not to appeal the Tribunal's decision

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
