He's lucky that he plays on the opposite end of the ground to May. Not so lucky that Viney is only a mere 50m away.

I reckon Kozzie is a HUGE chance to line him up if he gets the chance. Max will also be battling his emotions through the game. Gus is a pretty loved guy to the team and i don't think they're pretend nothing happened.

Kossie needs to keep his nose clean. He has far too many suspensions to his name already.

I've never seen Gawny go anyone in his entire career. Would pay good money to watch take Maynard down, and then get off at the tribunal for being the best guy ever.

I reckon we should honour Angus by winning the game.  Thats it.

I actually semi like what Kozzie does, not the always missing games because of suspension but not much gets in your head in a sport more than playing against a guy that you know is a real chance to go outside the rules of the game with the intention of hurting you.

I've had similar debates with people Red, i asked a mate to find me another instance where a guy has sprinted from 50 meters way, left the ground and knocked someone out in an attempt to "spoil" the ball. Naturally he couldn't outside of some very ordinary looking incidents from decades ago. 

I do believe Maynard wasn't intending to knock Gus out, rather to make a physical statement early in a big final, but he made the decision and it's had massive consequences for Gus and he should have been suspended. 

Agree Dwight. I also don’t believe Maynard wanted to knock out Gus, but rather make him earn it and it went beyond his intent. Unfortunately we know the rest.

I tell you what I want in footy. I want us to win this years’ flag, have Gus present the cup and run the lap with the boys.

Then I want the boys to win the next two.

Is that too much to wish for?

On another note, the AFL MRO/Tribunal decisions, are so inconsistent and random, that they have become nothing more than a joke to the whole football world.

Even the time it is taking to finalise the Smith case is simply ridiculous and totally unprofessional in its delay.

Who's a better bloke, Charlie Cameron, or Max Gawn? {insert discretionary interpretation here}

Since we're mentioning Maynard again, quick reminder that he has gone four consecutive seasons of at least once hospitalising an opponent with a head injury.

I'm 100% in the 'punish them on the scoreboard' group. But also... punish them by so much that when we're 40 points up with 10 minutes to go we can start an ironic 'Collingwood' chance just to make the fans lose their [Maynard].

Also, pretty sure Gawn can arrange for Alexa to play the Demon's song in every Collingwood supporter's home for a week.

Fake thug, see how he runs away like a coward when Cripps confronts him.

He acts tough when the other player is smaller, but not so much with bigger bodied players.

He articulates the bewilderment most of us feel about decisions the AFL make. Hamish is calling out the emperor with no clothes. 
Nothing will change and more of us will become jaded and cynical and finally disengaged

There are only two Melbourne players who I reckon hold enough power to get off on the “good bloke” clause; Trac and Gawny.

TBH neither have I but I have seen max give Nankervis a whack off the ball.  Tobes didnt like it but obviously deserved it.

I am really curious to see how Kings Birthday plays out, i do hope Maynard gets some sort of attention for no other reason than to see the paper tough guy go to water infront of the footy world

A part of me wouldn’t mind if our boys gave away 10 free kicks against Maynard if it meant we pulverised him into the ground.

Just call out Maynard for what/who he is.

The Duncan Wright of the 2000's. Forever has the legacy of forcing Gus to retire.

 

And am I correct in saying that he also forced his own team mate Murphy into retirement?
