Maynard, Pickett, Christian and justice and fairness.

Just came across some YOUTUBE Maynard 'Highlights', my favorite being the Suns Match earlier this year where he received a shove in the chest and 'fell' holding his head. 

Um, what this piece of E Coli Excrement gets away with match, match out, is unbelievable, and always sanctioned by the Mister Christian himself. 

In the meantime, Pickett runs into an E Coli Wobbler who has dived at his feet and, hey presto, that's 3 weeks.

I hate the AFL more every day. And everything it stands for, including the leeches and cockroaches known as the Footy Media.

    Very creative of you to fit all those terms into one sentence.

    IF, big IF, the AFL did believe in any concept of fairness, they could never allow Michael Christian to adjudicate anything involving Collingwood, ever.  He is so clearly biased, or maybe just plain dumb, or both. 
    Only a disgraceful organization would allow this to continue.

    Get over it. What Pickett did was stupid given his record. He was always going to get 3 weeks.

    And in the minds of many Demonlanders, Maynard is the sole reason we finished 14th.

    I agree that Pickett was somewhat unlucky.  But the constant obsession over Maynard by the MFC fan-base is particularly embarrassing and cringeworthy, and I’m not even a fan of him.

    So we are meant to forgive Maynard for putting one of our best out of that  final  game (both increasing the chance of a loss) and of the game permanently.  In what way is it cringworthy?

    I would have thought any decent C'wood supporter would be doing the cringing. (But a lot of them cheer him.)

    As for us finishing 14th - there were a lot of things that caused that. But losing Gus sure didn't help. Pity it wasn't enough to get C'wood into the finals.

    What Pickett did! Alleluia, is all I can say, he's such a bad mayne....

    Sorry, man, it is not an 'obsession' over Maynard, it is simply stating a fact that there is one rule for Collingwood players, another for the rest of the competition.

    How's Maynard's form going after Kozzie.

    The hypocrisy.

    Wish our boys would tackle like that occasionally. Hell even McCreery was doing it to us in the last game. 🙄

    I don't reckon that was a three week punishment despite Kozzies record. It was about three weeks as much as Maynard s was a footy act.

    Kozzie needs to reign his aggression in but first and foremost let's gets some damned consistentency going in the punishment department.

    It's an absolute joke.

    The bloke from Port gets a massive term but Maynard last year walks away totally free while Eddy from Cwood dances and sings about justice and Gus has to hang up the boots.

    Maynards not the reason we finished 14 th. Not many would agree with you there. He certainly was a part of the reason we didn't win that final last year .( But Laurie as sub was on Goody).

    I do find it very strange and bias that last year after Maynard walked away free that the Afl only started to get tough on players.

    It's hard to not be cynical and wonder why he escaped retribution and subsequent offenders didn't.

    Hard not to feel justice wasn't achieved...politics isn't in play and that last year's premiers not only scraped through every final ( including the grand) but it's so called tough guy got a free pass.

    Tbh I think Maynard walking after knocking Gus out and retiring him while KP gets three weeks for his act absolutely STINKS.

    And yes the Afl has cracked down since Gus went down and credit for that but it really does highlight how Maynard getting zippo was so very wrong. 

    I find it a real blight upon the game if I'm honest.

    And while it's difficult to separate one's self from ones bias and passion it's not hard to see that him getting NO suspension at all is just wrong.

    Our legal system outside the Afl has something called precedent. 

    If the Afl operate under this method with Maynard as the case measure.....it's pretty much a free pass for everyone outside of head butting umpires again.

    Unless they played for Cwood at one time

    Jeepers, Monbon - why don't you tell us what you REALLY feel?

     

    But I agree with every word you said. He is a total t..d and watching those "highlights" makes me remember why I hate Collingwood.

    It's nice to have a Sunday off from the topic.

    I agree. I mean everyone else has to miss the next match when they get concussion and I bet Moore doesn't! Where's the justice.

    It really does beggar belief that the conflict of interest the MRO has when dealing with collingwood players isn't talked about more. No one would expect me to be unbiased reviewing Melbourne players. He played 132 games and in the 1990 flag!!!

     

    Ditto chairman of the tribunal Jeff gleeson who is also a collingwood supporter and I believe an ex coterie member? Not 100% on that

    Where’s the video of him shirking the issue during actual play, there’s plenty of them

    Not so tough then

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
