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.

Wether some see the problem or not, it's not going to change the outcomes on the field win or lose, you're a "I told you so" type of sad little human. Congrats 👏 you see the issues. [censored].

    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.

     

     

    Childish and tracs injury a football incident move on.

    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.

    Yes but this isn't the wild west anymore. I like all my sporting teams (not just the dees) to compete like beasts but to be hard and fair.  Last 2 weeks they've not done very well with that. 

    Focus on the game not a vendetta.

    Collingwood were cheering Maynard loudly all day drowning out the meekly attended Melbourne supporters boos.

    The guy is a hero for giving someone brain damage. What a crazy F…d up world we live in.

    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.

    Just shows what you know about football and to wish someone injured is pathetic.

    Your a [censored].

    You can't even read.

    Where did I wish someone harm.

    I said Id rather Maynard injured than Tracca. That was a hypothetical in not wanting Tracca injured so where is the credit for that.

    Grow up.

    Langers called the filth all duck and no dinner and 5 of their players jumped on him in the first two mins. 
    That scum bag finished Gussys career and our finals with that deliberate shoulder hit and not one of our player puts a hand on him the whole game. 
    We are soft as butter and its big part of the reason we are out of the 8. 
    Better to stand for your teammate than stand for [censored] all.

    I’ve seen you post his close to half a dozen times already… sorry, I believe that to be nonsense. Moore flew for the mark no differently to the way in which most players do; it was an unfortunate footballing accident; there is no way that he targeted Trac in that contest. Sure there’s a lot to hate about the Pies, but Moore is one of the only players of theirs that I actually admire as a hard but fair player.

    If you’re suggesting that the ‘knee out’ position in marking contests should be reportable, then you can pretty much kiss the ‘speccy’ goodbye.

    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.

    It's not a WWE storyline though Deever. It's not about a guy that needs to get their comeuppance and the ratings shooting up. We needed to win the football game today that's what I wss hell bent about. Not spilling Maynard's blood all over the G.

    Now if you can let him know you're there with a bump here and there then yes I'm probably with you but can you imagine how stupid we'd look if we flew the flag and still lost?

    100% Colm

    Weak as [censored] performance from the entire club today.  Starting from the top down bar about a handful of players.

    Then to have Clarry and May suck up Mayturd's arrzz afterwards.  Sickening.

    I would banish them both to Casey for the remainder of 2024 and bring in Tommo & Sesto starting with North.

    Apologies Layzie.

    I quoted the wrong post.

    Sorry.

    I'm not usually like this..... but do we need a line in the sand type game round 24?

    This side and club have bullied us for most of the past 20 years. Something has to change.

    After what happen the last time we played the filth, if this game wasn’t going to be a line in the sand game I can’t for the life of me see why the round 24 game will be.

    Not having a go, just can’t see if we had no mongrel in us for this game how we will have any for round 24.

    We were soft today -  no one even sledged Maynard let alone tried to bruise him -  embarrassing set of bland players we’ve got at the moment - a true reflection of the coach

    You're taking the proverbial urine surely? Our team playing a line in the sand game? We'd probably rather punch slap each other than the opposition.

    Yep that’s the issue. There is no mongrel in this side anymore. It’s embarrassing.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • 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?
