AFL footballers.

Should be able to kick the ball.

Worst losses have been solely due to not converting inside 50s.

Shouldn't need to be coached on kicking at this level.

Players need to take ownership of this.

Given what the fu&)(&/) happened to Gus, here’s the Dees preparing for this weeks game !!!

Why is Maynard training with us?

Or is it just a lookalike?

Surely Schache or Grundy sub right???  Why do we have Schache if we didn't put him in this week FFS??!?!

Risky to go with a tall unless Max is really suspect.

I'm thinking Hibberd.

Seems to be a Carlton intra club going by the media.

Also we have umpire #22 so #freekickcarlton will be in full effect. 

Amazed that Razor can't get a gig because he can't bounce the ball.

There are 3 others out there that can handle the bounce.

There aren't that many bounces in a game now and Razor is one of the better decision makers IMO.

I see Whately did a complete about-face, as did Maher

At first both were looking for guilt and indeed, both found fault ... but once the verdict was handed down, both fell into line with the group-think.  Weak as [censored]

Patronisingly telling Melbourne supporters to move on

 

Couldn't believe what i was hearing from him after his vehemence in the days prior.

Just another suck-up like the rest.

I had SEN on during part of the day in the background when working and caught the take of some Rugby League bloke on the Maynard "footy act". Very interesting comments, said unequivocally that if in Rugby League, Maynard would definitely be rubbed out for 4 weeks! Interesting viewpoint from north of the Barassi Line.

Did anyone else catch these comments?

Didn't hear it, but I know it's true.

In fact I suspect more like 6 weeks and could have been a send off as well.

They don't stand for that stuff.

I just want to see Port or GWS take Colonwood out in the prelim.

Both capable.

Does this mean now that there is no careless grading if you bump? Only intentional?

Anyone viewed the footage of McGuire at an eatery last night post the tribunal decision? What a massive preeck.....

Grubby wasn't it.

Just watched tonight’s 360 (on delay obvs). Did I miss something with Howe? Sure he defended his teammate (against what most of us feel is indefensible, I get it) and said he felt bad for what he’s been dealing with (which I think any of our team would do for a teammate in similar circumstances), but I also saw him more than almost anyone who’s fronted up to the media about it stating over and over his concern was for Gus and what he’s going through. I thought that was genuine. 
 

Incidentally I also noticed he posted a pretty heartfelt message to Melk when he did his knee. 
 

I hate what’s happened this week and I feel sick for Gus and the team. The tribunal result is not only unfair but defies all logic, but I dunno about the pile on on literally anyone who’s not in the red and blue and doesn’t unequivocally say Maynard should be taken out and shot. 
 

(6pm here in Germany, no I’m not thinking about this at 2am. Though I have).

Someone earlier asked about the meaning of "running dead'. Same face comes to mind when I hear that expression.

Can see Colonwood losing to both Port and GWS.

They struggled to beat us when we couldn't buy a goal.

If they don't appeal this, I will always believe the whole thing was a face saving, pander to CFC, farce.

So on with the Collingwood Football League Final Series.

Do they want to get him off completely, or just one week?

One week is a martyr, and their, and the Media's brainless exoneration, combined with win for the Club to get in the GF, all forgiven...  

Can't see how he can get 1 week.

They can find no case and he gets none. AFL would have to appeal that.

They can't downgrade 'careless conduct'.

They can't downgrade 'high contact'.

They can downgrade 'severe' to 'high' impact. = 2 + weeks. Would expect the AFL to appeal that.

Only other outcome then is 3 + weeks.

I assume that any appeal against the tribunal finding would apply to guilt or innocence, not to vary the proscribed penalty.

Somewhat unsurprisingly James Brayshaw was amoung the few that was advocating for the rightful suspension to be dealt out, but he also suggested that if Angus was the aggressor he'd also be telling him that he'd just have to cop the suspension.

I've had enough of all this 'football act' shouldn't be suspended rubbish.  In my mind, the AFL have set the benchmark on this over the past several seasons.  Kade Chanldler got suspended for 2 matches accidentally falling into the back of someone when being slightly over zealous applying a takle.  Maynard's actions were on another level of reckless compared to Kade's - he should be looking at 4 - 6 weeks, not 2 - 3.

Can't go changing the rules because of finals and Brownlow contention like Crips, that would be so weak.

Sure I heard him on commentary agreeing that there was nothing in it.

Well congratulations to Laura Kane if she did! Showing courage to do the right thing.

Multiple reasons:

- Maynard chose to take Brayshaw out, total rubbish he had no other choice

- Footballers, ex footballers seem to stupid, or thick to realise, it’s to their benefit to protect the head, perfect example is Barry Mitchell father of Tom, life massively impacted by head collision trauma 

- Tom Mitchell’s action highlights his level of stupidity, obviously forgot his fathers problems

- Richo, BT & co. Must have had incredibly thick skulls not to have been more severely impacted by the hits taken, but why they protect weak dog acts is beyond me

- Could write pages on this topic but enough said!

Most important point - hopefully Brayshaw is okay, for now and rest of his life!

Worst part is so many hang off their every moronic word. 

Add Dunstall, JB and "Clickbait" Cornes.

Someone like Ray Chamberlain would be fantastic in the role.  Completely impartial, fair and a well balanced person with zero bias

In fact, more of the umpires need to be kept on within the AFL ... and we need more women involved especially on the Commission

The boys club element and favouritism that goes on needs to be halted

Up until this bold and correct move by Laura Kane, the MRO has been a complete joke and a farce

Love every word of this.

Hopefully we can start to get rid of some of the suck ups & morons from commentary and media as well.

I don't think Grundy would've helped last night. Our problem was marks inside 50 and converting, two things he doesn't do well. Maybe we could've put him in the ruck and Max forward but again, Gawn rarely plays well as a tall forward, he's better around the ground.

Thing is we had no one who did do it well.

Actually think Grundy offers way more than JVR has recently.

If nothing else, last night vindicated my pure, sheer unadulterated hatred for the filth.  I can handle losing a match, although that was one we shouldn't have lost (I maintain it was lost the moment Maynard went through Gus), but what I can't get over is the despicable crowd behaviour.  The cheersquad doing the Collingwood chant as Gus is stretchered off.  The filth cheering every time Maynard went near the ball.  The hoards of ferals that descented on our cheer squad baying for blood at the end of the game.  Hearing about a friend of mine (not in the cheer squad) being king hit and then descened upon by three filthy thugs after she called them out for cheering Maynard, leaving her bloodied and bruised, and the security doing stuff all about it.  The group of thugs tormenting a child outside the ground at the end of the game, leaving this kid in tears, terrified.

I hate them.

Security.. at the MCG..  non existent.

I once saw two older ladies removed by one suit & 2 security guys.

May have been caught on camera dosing up their lattes from a flask.

Any serious bad behaviour they don't want to know.
