Ironic that his Dad played for Melbourne.

Best revenge would be to [censored] them on KB & beat them by a point in the finals.

Then what happened to the father-son-rule?

We called "pass" because of a P Roos "No D**heads allowed" rule?

Ask your friend to take a photo and post it here. I will commit the rest of my week, hell even the rest of next month, in ensuring every media outlet, footy forum, social media platform is drowned in how pathetically irresponsible this is and how that act of thuggery is celebrated in an age where concussion is rife.

I kid you not. Give me the ammunition and ill get it done.

I’ve already asked him to take a photo of it and he said he will do so the next time the rooms are set up for Collingwood (he only works part time) which shan’t be long because they play at the ‘G so often.

How he described it though, you can see it’s a Melbourne player but you can’t definitively say which Melbourne player it is. I’m sure it was designed with that in mind. But it’s not hard to join the dots.

This actually needs to be something.

Burn these bastards on the pyre of hypocrisy.

F/S doesn’t apply since he played only a handful of games for Melbourne

Aidan Johnson, it is your time to SHINE on KB… if that scumbag plays.

Otherwise I hear Moore is partial to a good knee in the back.

I read The Age article online and left my thoughts in the comments section under it. Hopefully it will get past their sensors.

Update: Just had a look and don't think it has but a couple of Collingwood scumbags did claiming the [censored] did nothing wrong.

doubt it. i don't subscribe anymore but when i did i was highly censored even for relatively innocuous statements.

the Australian was just as bad. if you're comment doesn't fit their agenda its suppressed

amazing how these publications bleat about free speech when the reality is they couldn't care less

Wasn’t sure where to post something I wanted to say about Maynard then this thread was bumped.

So I have a friend who works at the ‘G. Yesterday he was in the home team’s rooms which were set up for Collingwood (since they’re the next team to play a home game there) including posters on the walls and the like.

One poster which is supposed to depict the essence of Collingwood has the word FIGHT in large block letters underneath which is a photo of Maynard slamming into a Melbourne player.

I was shocked and said surely it’s not the Gus incident???? He said you couldn’t see the head of the Melbourne player but the number on his jumper started with a 1

If they’ve printed a poster with that disgusting incident on it and are pinning it up proudly in the rooms at the ‘G for motivation or whatever, they’re even more reprehensible than we thought possible.

Is there a way we can make this information available to the club and players? How much I have dreamed of someone like May or AJ to tackle this fake thug so hard that his whole body hurts. Perfect motivation before KB if you ask me.

Useless to talk to those people.

Got a colleague at work who is a Filth supporter, he is so stubborn and annoying to the point of making me lose my cool.

I have since stopped discussing footy with said colleague. They are like horses with black and white blinders.

I find some solace in that most of the other colleagues who are neutral to this issue think just the way the rest of the AFL world...the thug is a deadset POS.

What would you do if we sign Maynard up as a free agent at the end of the year?

I vaguely remember some years ago - in the 20 teens - that there was some discussion here regarding trading for or somehow picking him.

Why not both Moore getting a ruptured spleen AND 💩 getting concussed?

Am I the only one who finds this endless comments about injuring or crippling players for revenge quiet appalling.

Sorry, but I don’t go for this Moore committing a dog act etc, as that was a genuine football accident. Anyone attempting to go for a high mark or spoil is always going to have their knee projecting forward. Sure, it might have been a poorly judged attempt to go for the mark, but there is no way that Moore went into that with any intent to deliberately hurt his opponent.

I think that sometimes our hatred of Collingwood clouds our judgement… but yes, by all means, hammer Maynard !

Interesting piece of trivia: remember the darkest scene in Pulp Fiction? Bruce Willis's boxer character and the big bad gangster Marcellus Wallace are taken at gunpoint mid-fight when they stumble into a pawn shop and are imprisoned in a dungeon. Then the shop owner calls his friend, Zed, so they can torture (and do other very criminal things) the prisoners together.

Anyone wanna guess the name of the evil shop owner?

I don't hold anything against Maynard for the Brayshaw bump in the final.
That too was a football accident IMO.
It was a final with no beg pardons.
I wouldn't want our players pulling out of contact like that.

What I do hate is that we allowed him/them to rough up Lingers.

I'm sure Moore wanted the knee to hurt, not sue if he wanted to rupture Tracs spleen.
The big Yank is a dirty bastard tho'.
Seem him try to injure Gawn a couple times, and saw him try to wrench Tracs knee another.
He know his skills are limited so attempts to help his team illegally.

I also remember we allowed them to mug Watts in his 1st game.

Sooner or later a line must be drawn in the sand with this lot.

Normally I'd agree. But consider this:

When someone commits murder and the authorities turn a blind eye, it would be natural for friends and relatives to make 'endless comments' about what the murderer deserves. Would you be surprised or critical of them?

IMO, the same applies to a player who kills another player's footy career (and maybe more) with a non-football act.

I recall that too. There was some fascination in getting Maynard to the club due to his talent and the fact that his Dad played for the club.

Prior to the Gus incident he didn't receive much or any vitriol around here. In fact he was commended for diffusing a post game Kings B'day 2023 incident between Trac and a Pies player (Cox?)

This I strongly disagree with. He was in the air before Gus kicked the ball. Then he proceeded to lie in the tribunal hearing. He meant what he did, and it was absolutely a filth act.

The AFL subsequently legislated that the act would be penalised hence forth.

if it hadn't been a final and a Collingwood player involved you can be sure Maynard would have been suspended

Exactly. The tribunal would have known what he was saying in the tribunal was nothing but lies, but they let it go unchallenged. Much of what he claimed could easily have been refuted by the vision.

Maybe Collingwood should have a photo of Maynard pushing Murphy into McCarthy in the Grand Final up on the wall. That's two careers in the one finals series that pr**k destroyed. He must be so proud. Or the video of Peter Maynard at Casey's Best and Fairest that year telling a room full of people where he said "I love my son, but he did the wrong thing." Even his own father doesn't sanction that pr**k's actions.
