Maynard unscathed

I thought he'd at least be on the receiving end of one or two crunching tackles.

He gave them instead. And his mate Moore pushed his knee into Tracs spleen.

Way to wave the flag for Gus.

Maynard not bruised even fairly isn't a great look.

Especially after all the talk about a response.

    Yep, very damning to see.

    I wonder how Gus feels about this lack of standing up for him.

    Looks at the umpire every time he's touched. Can't stand the bloke and the protection racket around him. That 50 was a disgrace.

    Could have crunched him and still lost by 6 goals; that doesn’t make me feel any better about losing Gus. The retribution I wanted was to smash them on the scoreboard.

    Collingwood players were laughing in our faces, pathetic effort. Hope Gus wasn’t watching because that was an embarrassing effort

    Our guys don't do physical pressure that well full stop.

    We don't body spoil.

    We don't run hard enough straight line at opponents.

    We corale too much.

    We don't know the sneaky art of hurting opponents. Ala Moore knee into Petracca.

    We play happy happy joy joy footy under Goodwin.

    No wonder Maysy gets so [censored] off.

    Would have preferred him on the trolley rather than Tracca.

    There was no need for Moore to put his knee out. It was always a spoil.

    Just like Maynards act wasn't a footy one.

    That's the dirty way the pies play.

    About time for once we did the same.

    We were a good player down just like last time.

    It's straight out of the filth playbook.

    And we let it slide.

    Just like we nobody gave Moore a hard time.

    Again another weak response.  Aside from Viney, how many blokes actually fly the flag.  Not many soldiers in the trenches !!!! 

    Yep ... And though he's tough as they come he aint big or scary.

    Don't want to be too harsh on Petracca but did you guys notice the shaking hands he had with the thug as they were lining up for the start of the game?

    He should have at least ignores his offering tbh.

    Problem is that we, as a club, are too nice.

    It's good to be nice and gentlemanly when warranted, but against the likes of Collingwood... Spare me any sportmanships.

    When you’ve got a supporter base full of members who find it to emotionally distressing to turn up. Why should the club go after him? 
     

    There isn’t a softer club in the AFL than us. We have as much backbone as the apologists on this forum that think it’ll be ok and we aren’t that bad..

    I’m sure I’ll be torn down for this comment. But I couldn’t care less. I went to the game and stood in the outer until the final siren went.

    I was one of the 5k melb members there.

    Not all of the supportes are "soft". But regardless of that, our players should be more self aware.

    Really Layzie.

    If your best mate was retired from his career wouldn't you wave the flag for him.

    Not talking about illegal whacks but some crunching tackles by several players to at least put him off his game.

    Not like he didn't deserve them.

    And as for winning the game we didn't. So the two things are not mutually exclusive.

    In fact some agro would have served us well I reckon. Maynard played well. We didn't make him panic.

    And at the end of the day at least probably put a smile on poor Gussys dial.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
