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.

    • 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

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
