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.

    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.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
