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.

    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.

    This is the  trouble ..we boycott the game ..what does that achieve. We need to support & cheer for our team ..staying at home helps Collingwood..we don’t need to be a Collingwood type of supporter but surely you can be a loud & proud Dees supporter!!

    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.

    • 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.
