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

    yes a very strange/odd/wierd  and really unforgivable reaction to the whole situation I thought and then trac goes and gets piled into and the subsequent aftermath with Trac, its still all an elephant in the room situation for me

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
