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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
