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?

 

We pussied out big time today, soft as butter.

Hibbo would have flown the flag today.

Biss poor by all involved today.

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.

Image washing. Channel 7 and Collingwood media unit colluding to rehabilitate Maynard’s reputation

Don't forget his mum 😡😡


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.

Was he booed by the Collingwood mob?

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.

Agree. Disgraceful. Hope the thug gets his comeuppance one day

There is no karma in footy. Bully or be bullied. 

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
