Unrelated (except totally related): are trebuchets still a thing?

Maynard in a trebuchet?  That would be a long shot.

    Why not?  Lions have beaten Pies last  6 times apparently.  Will hold no fears for them and the Pies have come in to the finals in average form and losses.

    Don't ne sucked in by the Melbourne hype surrounding Pies.

     

    Definitely not sucked in by Melbourne hype. Im in Bangkok.  lol

    Its a huge ask for Lions to get up on Saturday. Not the same team 20 years back under Mathews.

    Pies will get alot of love from the umpires at crucial moments. Everything will have go right backs and fwd for Lions to get up. Lachie Neale might rip a new one to justify his Brownlow. 

    Of course theyre a chance. Pies have been lucky in Sept but not last year. Maybe its their time.

    URGGGGHHH!

    History will record that the only two times collingwood has beaten us in a final since ww2 was courtesy of their roughouse, dirty tactics in 1958, and then in 2023, courtesy of the AFL-sanctioned poleaxing of one of our key playmakers.

    let's just hope the lions win by a late goal after maynard is illegally blocked but no free paid. just like in the 2018 gf.

    that would give him a few more sleepless nights

    Reasonable alternative, though I would prefer to see him stretchered off in the first minute after Zorko takes him and Cox 😎out at the opening bounce.

    Is this thread still going? Suggest it probably should be locked or renamed to focus on Angus's health and whether he decides to play on next year.

    Dunno about triumphantly. There is no karma in footy. Maynard could well have a medal this time tomorrow. 

     

    Edit: moreover, there is nothing to stop him repeating himself tomorrow to enhance his chances of winning.

    If karma was real then that vile piece of [censored] Brayden "the Thug" Maynard would be accidentally hit by the Brisbane Lions team bus on his way to the MCG for the Grand Final tomorrow!

    I am going to BOO that [censored] for as long as he [censored] plays his AFL career! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

    Quite the dichotomy this…

    Head injuries are generally bad, concussions end careers and affect the long term quality of life of some players.

    However, on this occasion, it would be  cathartic to see that bozo knocked the [censored] out in the first quarter - if not the first five minutes. 

    Two points;

    1. It is important to try to keep the idea of protecting the head alive.

    2. It is a higher priority to ensure that Maynard doesn't breed.

    So there are other higher (lower?) priorities than knocking him out.

    The guy needs a non-lethal Darwin Award.

    nah. 50 seconds to go. pies up by 5 points. maynard collects ball deep in backline. under no pressure miskicks ball to joe daniher who swings on his left foot and goals. lions by 1 point.

    Key to this game is the Big O must dominate that yank from the get go, sink his knee right into his ribs.

    This is where he got Gawny early.

    Must fight fire with fire straight from the first bounce, we didn't do this, we were very reactive.

    I hope our lads have learnt lessons from the first 7 minutes of the 1st QF, have to set the tone early not physical enough at all.

    Zorko might be retiring after the GF.

    That would give him freedom for a lot of accidental incidents.

    I would imagine he would go extremely hard at the smothering.

    Watching the 2021 GF again. Before the game Fox had a segment on Bulldogs smothering. Not one looked like Maynard's uncontrolled leap forward into a player...

    Let's face it, if it happened in round 2 he would have got 3-4.

    They came up with the smothering angle and then said the hit was accidental, as he wasn't bumping and then poorly prosecuted the case.

    Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

    We all know how this works with the AFL favourites.

    Cripps last year another pathetic example and like Gus, Ah Chee, Cripp's victim, missed the finals.

    Newman last year got off with a punch to the throat, because they said the charge sheet had the wrong hand named as the striking one, even though they said those technicalities are irrelevant.

    I think back to Barry Hall the Swans Captain, punching a Saint pretty hard in the guts, 150 meters off the ball, in a PF.

    Tribunal then found that a Swans player was about to grab the ball 150 meters away and he would would have kicked it forward and then that Hall was in the play and it was deemed not off the ball. Hall was cleared and was one of the best in the Swan's flag.

    AFL happy.

    Integrity is a swear word at the AFL.

    They would not know it if it bit them on [censored]. 

    Well he got his flag. We can't do anything about it now. Karma doesn't exist for some people. They are untouchable 

    The world is full of injustices. Bad things happen to good people and good things happen to people who should rot in hell. 
    The AFL is no different. 
     

    Maynard won a flag while Gus still doesn’t know if he’ll be allowed to play ever again, and De Goey has also won a flag while women are watching on wishing he was in jail for what he did to them.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
