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.

Our blokes would get 4 weeks plus. HQ $$$ generating teams players get premiership medals.

 

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.

Bingo. Galvanised for one year free of outside distractions and look what happened....reverted to type at the flag celebration at the G 


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.

Leave it alone. The goal was to win today not to take Maynard out.

If people want to rip their memberships up over this then they can [censored] off

Nothing was ever going to happen once I saw him & trac shake hands before the game.

Same here. That was bizarre.

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.

A soft loser club , always will be

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
