We didn’t even fly the flag the night he went down. Look at how the entire team flocked at Darcy when he floored maynard last week. Not much demon spirit hey?

    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.

    The only one to fire a shot today was James Brayshaw who kept saying Angus was supposed to go down the slide with him but couldn't be there

    Making a show of shaking his hand. It's just soft.

    Would have much preferred if the players told Maynard to get [censored]. No need to get side tracked into getting even with him just play hard footy.

    If the shoe was on the other foot I'm pretty sure Maynard wouldn't be shaking hands.

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

    That’s because football is not war and the MCG is not Gallipoli 

    Calm down with the metaphors

    So just say that. No need to bring in misguided sentiment.

    Kane Cornes is a prat, but he’s right that we were bullied. That handshake and the back slapping at the end tells you all you need to know. It’s a poor look - we play this ‘higher ground’ card, but it doesn’t work.

    No way, Viney doesn't get off scott free here either.

    He had a mongrel dead to rights under the ball and instead of going for the grab, knees into the rib cage (pie-style), he went for a no hope over the shoulder spoil, and missed.

    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.

     

     

    BUMP AND BUMP AGAIN

    What a lily livered response we play bruise free footy and meekly waved the Red flag. I truly believe some of our players are SCARED of Brainless Maynard!!! Disgraceful non effort words not deeds MFC Cant put a positive spin on it we are Gutless!!

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

    Well I have been going for a Loooong time, but after todays insipid effort and that of the last 4 weeks and the coach banging on about "Learnings, Culture, Strong Response, after today I won't attend another game, Why?? because we do not back up our words with Deeds and this is as bad as the Bailey years, Neeld years and even further back 70 and 71!! Im also over Goodwin and his "We're Hurting" Pigs [censored], we are as soft and vanilla as they come. Oh and sorry landers no more P.F Training reports sorry. Really disgusted today!

    Seething that this thug was allowed a free reign and continued to bully us Shame MFC , SHAME!!

    So could you shake his hand. Then next time your mate Gus comes by shake his hand.  They did not need to do anything with Maynard  they needed to play hard concentrated football and all those 3 failed.

    in my opinion

    May was booed louder and more often today than Maynard. Asked the filth next to me why and the reply: "Because May is dirty"

    I'm ashamed of the club today. We've played like trash for weeks now, but not not stand up on a big day like today was so disheartening. Letting Maynard get through a full match of footy without giving him any physical attention after what he did to a beloved demon was shameful. One of the worst things I've say through as a diehard supporter of this club, and I've say through decades of [censored] at this point.

    Mentally weak. Shameful. Disappointing. Our premiership window ends with a whimper while that thug runs around like he's at training.

    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.

    Had no trouble hearing the boos for Maynard at all, came across loud and clear.

    I was one who thought that Maynard could get his come uppance, but what does it serve. If someone had fixed him up today they would have been missing for 4 weeks (the rules have changed !!). Tracc showed he is respectful of the traditions of the game .

    Secondly Football is a game (albeit a serious one at this level) but  NOT a WAR !!! Let us get things in perspective.

    P.S. Gus was my favourite player, and I feel for how his life has changed.

    • 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.
