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

    Filthy we didn't appeal the Kozzie suspension. We should have defended to the last inch.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
