You could be right, however I still bristle with anger seeing Trac go all chummy chummy with the a-hole on Kings Birthday 

I doubt I will ever get over that one as well.

    Vulnerability Post... I have very dark thoughts when I read Collingwood supporters still commenting that "Brayshaw stepped into Maynard" (it was Brayshaws fault), that Brayshaw was already concussed from a previous knock (not Maynards hit), that Melbourne doctors should have already taken him off (Melb doctors fault), that "he shouldn't have been allowed to play anyway".

    Please help me.

    I want to do bad things

    PS Angus to be our runner - you've heard it here first

    I've seen worse.

    Some commenting on his speech during the Brownlow.

    I still maintain the idea of hiring a manure truck for a special delivery to thug #4 house.

    It  could be just the consquence of their cheering Maynard when Gus was laid out.  Having made one moral error, it is common to double down on it evenif you realise you were in the wrong.  Maybe they feel guilt in their heart of hearts and are trying to supress the emotion.   On the other hand, maybe they are sociopaths.

    The way the Pies filth insist Melbourne mistreated Gus, or Gus brought it upon himself, and their darling thug was in no way at fault makes them sociopaths.

    Just tell them if Gus' retirement was our fault, then Murphy's retirement was their fault. Simple.

    I do blame Collingwood for Murphy, a) Maynard pushing him into McCarthy’s path, b) who was the [censored] at Collingwood who allowed Murphy full contact training in the preseason which allowed him to yo be tackled/concussed by Daicos?

    One cut away to the Melbourne table focused on Max and he looked very emotional listening to one of his best mates reliving the pain of the last six months.

    Like others here, I hope that if not heartfelt that Maynard now has a fleeting acknowledgment of the turmoil that is now Angus' life. I will always "boo" Maynard if only silently and my booing will encompass the Club he plays for and its supporter base. I feel that they are all culpable in some way given the way the supporter base cheered Maynard as Gus was stretchered off and no acknowledgment from either the player or the Club as to wretched end of Gus's career. I understand that there will never be that acknowledgment given the possibility of legal ramifications.  No matter, my disgust of this Club and its supporters only grows. 

    Gus may have moved on but I haven't.

    Nicely said.

    Maynard will be foreever remebered for his act taking out Gus. Oh yeah - he played for collingwood too.

    Duncan Wright complained in old age how hard he was done by for the john sommerville punch.

    Stiff mate. Maynard will have similiar thoughts ongoing, and if he hasn't, then he's lying.

    Sleep well.

    The other thing I like to say to Collingwood fans is “I don’t know why you idolise Maynard so much, he lost you the 2018 grand final”. They don’t like that.

    I think of doing very bad things to them.

     

    Its hard because mentally there is no brain there amongst them, so it only leaves physical options.

    Fair issue raised. Denigrating the honour of Collingwood fans is like trying to barge down an open door.

    If you called them a worthless sack of [censored] they'd be proud of the sack.

    it annoys me how she felt the need to slip the other stuff in that is irrelevant to the story

    What also really annoys me is how our playing group has let Maynard off - we all know what I am talking about. It really is enough to cruel my desire to continue a membership, a fact I think I might convey to membership/Pert. I think it’s really poor and disrespects Gus - Wilson even states the club is saddened at the manner of his departure and last game - would it be too much to focus some attention on the cause?

    Hope he can get back on the golf course soon - from any injury/insurance law types here, I’d love to know why his impending settlement precludes any exercise (the lack of which in and of itself is injurious both physically and mentally)

    I agree with this comment 100%, made in the Age article linked above. It is disgusting that players were given a license to assault other players by the AFL. The AFL manufactured a flag for the pies. image.png.5ec2f76c96f72b042c83e12e604d346c.png

    And we're being royally screwed by the AFL with the salary cap carrying the load of Gus' contract.

    I think there are still things you can take out of it. 

    I think this article helps at least explain that right now, Gus is still very crook.

    To those that keep saying, oh yeah we should give him a role. We would if he could but he can't right now.

    It's not about the club offering him anything.
    That offer to assist has been there since day dot.
    He can't even have a round of golf or enjoy a night at the Brownlow with some of his best mates.
    It's incredibly sad.
    Lot's of love to Gus and his family.
    I hope he finds his health and his groove again.
    Just a wonderful bloke.

    It's been a huge loss. It was crushing on the night it happened and it still seems to be very hard for his team mates.

    It looked like Gawn was very upset at the Brownlow during his speech.

    Anyways, time to listen to the wisdom and insight of Selwood, Hamish and BT on Seven.

    Happy granny day everyone

    • 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.
