I don't care about their 'army'.   But imagine what a statement it would send to the AFL and their media hangers-on if there was a total boycott.  But as I say, since there is no way or organising that (eg. you and many like-minded, will be there), it just a vain fantasy on my part.

Guys he didn’t have to retire because of one concussion but because of a history of them.

As deplorable avoidable and unpunished as the Maynard incident was it alone isn’t the reason for retirement.

If the MFC Boycotted QB 100% we would be labeled the Laughing Stock of the AFL. The snow jokes would be insufferable 

I really don’t want to imagine that scenario 

The Filth Scum already consider the whole incident with Angus to be a good laugh

Stop undermining what Angus himself said and giving support to the AFL when he sues the pants off them. 

No!

Sorry Dino, that's just wrong.

And in my opinion is a narrative dees fans should actively  push against, because it is one the AFL and the Pies are pushing - for obvious reasons.  

Compare the circumstances of Gus's retirement with Paddy McCartin.

Gus hadn't had a concussion for 5 years and regularly had MRI and advanced imaging and neurological assessments to check on his brain health and there were no issues.

He was out cold for at least 2 minutes after the Maynard hit. The damage from that hit was so severe there is chance any player receiving it would be advised to retire, regardless of any history of concussion (by the by i'm guessing almost every AFL player would have received multiple head knocks, if not concussion, in their junior footy career from say under 10s to TAC cup. That's to say every AFL player is likely vulnerable to the impact of concussion). 

Paddy McCartin had to take an extended break from the game and once back had at least 2 head hits.  The really worrying thing, and the key reason he had to retire i suspect, is the last one was barely a glancing blow (he didn't play another game after that).

As was expected, at last year’s KB game those filthy Collingwood fans booed Brodie Grundy. At the same time our fans cheered him as loudly as possible. At the time I thought we might have matched them and was quite proud. But upon watching the replay I was rapt to see/hear that we actually drowned them out!

And before anyone pipes up with ‘Nah, that’s just placement of mics etc.’ So what? The point is they all heard themselves being drowned out, too. And they’re not nearly clever enough to know about the placement of mics. 😁

PS we absolutely need to turn up to this match!!!!

By that you mean FANS, right?

Also lets be real, we'd only be punishing our own club, it would be a move you'd expect from the filth because of their lack of self awareness. a better protest would be find some way to scam all the Pies tickets and make it a sea of red and blue all holding up pictures of Gus.

Any chance the AFL give us a compensation first round pick at the next draft? 

With Brayshaw off the list surely we could bring in a Rookie.

The first bloke that comes to mind is ummmm...Tim Tszyu.

First game for him would be.... oh let me think, Kings Birthday against Collingwood?

Starting position..... Maybe on Maynard.... Mmm maybe not.

Leave him as sub until halfway through the third quarter when we're up by 10 goals and Maynard is sweating bullets. 

Bring Tim on to mark Maynard.

Our Players instructed to bomb the ball to Maynard. Tszyu is ordered to spoil Maynard.

Tim's feet won't even have to leave the ground to spoil. Ooops, it was a pure football act says Tim.

One can only dream!

In reality, I'm not really that angry at Maynard. He's just a thug. 

The thing that would have hurt him most would have been him missing out on a premiership medal.

It's not even Collingwood's fault, although I completely loathe their supporters more than ever after attending that game.

This is the AFL's responsibility. 

They didn't argue the case to protect a player going for the ball and didn't suspend a player who could have negated the impact of the collision but instead tucked his shoulder in to maximise damage to his opponent.

They haven't changed the rules enough to stop this scenario happening again.

They suspended one of our best players (Koz) for a week for a glancing, fair bump the following week (Remember that for round 1 when he's missing), while allowing Maynard to play a grand final.

I don't know if I'll ever attend another game against Collingwood. It's such a foul experience.

However, I do know I hate those corrupt, inept clowns at AFL house so much more than the pies. They are so inconsistent in their rulings and disloyal to the fans and our game. It's just about dollars and TV.

Anyways, could Tim Tszyu be hypothetically drafted as a rookie before KB?

One can only dream.

Your'e right Deestar9 it achieves nothing.  But it will benefit me re: the filth supporters etc.  Theyll'have a banner for Maynard probably.

Don't think I've read a post from you admonishing anyone.

So this is some real truth here Deezone.

Well said.

I like where you are comming from, but there are better means - it doesn't need to come to fisty cuffs and brain damage (I think it's too late for that in Maynard's case anyways).

Maynard has bung shoulders, so I just want to let Jack Viney go at him unrestrained for 30 seconds and let him rip his arms off like the that Black Knight in Monty Python and end his career that way.

I mean there's not much to admire about roy Keane but I say get him in for KB and tell him maynard is related to the older haaland. I'm not serious of course because we are better people and I expect us to channel our anger into the scoreboard.

I love the Dees still, but hate about everyone else associated with the game in positions to have a microphone and opinions, top of the list being the AFL funnily enough for denial of justice to Gus.

Collingwood fans and behaviour after the Act is on another level altogether for hatred

Reporting for duty.

I'll let Jack take care of Maynard, but I'll happily tear Eddy a new one - and then real justice will have been served.

Yes, I want us to absolutely pummel them on the scoreboard as well, but also to be a physically dominant display that utterly belittles and embarases them. 

Finish it off with winning the premership at the G in emphatic fashion, while the Pies miss out on the 8.
