Previously known as LITD.

They have already said and demonstrated as much for me RbG with all their minions in the faux press.

Your second cpmment was good. As to losing Gus and losing the game I'm not so sure. Yes we kicked at goal poorly and bombed it in. But a I reckon Gus in the team is at least seven points more than Laurie. Get well Gus.

What a great post. Clearly the wine idea was Maynards. But for sure you give the guy and his family some space. It's not about you. And thirdly, you humbly keep it mom, until a verdict is final.

Geez that picture makes you feel sorry for Gus. He wasn't concussed he was totally old cold and for a while. Maynard was flying at Gus before he jumped for whatever reason. I now the blokes no genius but he's played enough footy to know he would have collided with Gus after making a beeline at him from ten metres away. Regardless of if it costs us a flag or what punishment does or doesn't transpire, I just hope Gus is ok. But I can't imagine he will be. Psychologically it's going to have scars and I wouldn't be at all surprised if he called it quits.

Good on Caro for her views on all this . I'm sick of the political hit job the cfc and the media have done on this to get this dog act off She also mentioned that Michael Christian threatened to resign.

I think it's more an indication of the readership. The writers can't be smarter than it's buyers. I'm sure you just borrowed a friend's or inadvertently clicked on the wrong link so all good here.

Given our lack of tall feds who can take a mark in a pack, our bombing it in was just a complete waste.

I don't thinks so only by the unfortunate stat that we have started poorly in quite a few others. I admire our fight backs but it's frustrating that we are putting ourselves in these positions. But kudos for attempting to explain them. It's quite strange.

Or if Jack Viney was visiting at the same time.

I wonder if a Maynard throwing his arms up while he jumped forward help propel him even higher. The more I watch the footage the more I ask, how could have Maynard not have thought he would collide with poor Gus? The intent for some impact was certainly there. Since he's fluffed the truth once, I'm not sure he even cared about the smother. If the Afl doesn't stop this act with a hefty penalty, we will see plenty more " smothering" in the game and lots of careers jeopardized.

If one team is a player down, it does even the playing field. Not in this case but yea it's not like umps don't get it wrong sometimes.

It's surprising that you haven't given it was a' footy act" Can't wait to hear some more garbage from pundits when he's deservedly suspended.

The fact we played so poorly at times with a good player down and almost won really hurts. Pies were average and we kinda of let them into a prelim.

My goodness, I think I would almost sacrifice my first born for another crack at the Pies. Shes lucky shes a Dees fan. They were so lucky to win. We were a good player down and subbed in a young kid with 5games. We played half a game and only just lost. By errant kicking too. No ways pies are better than us. The lions not being able to win at tge G wouldn't have been a threat. We were so close. This loss really hurts.

We burnt our fwds so many times with poor entries ie just bombing it in. Was this a tatic and if so why?

If it happens and Maynard's playing, he'll wish he wasn't.

The Pies supporters booing while Fritta had a free on goal really made me angry. Wouldn't even acknowledge that. They really are a sub species of mankind.

Those things among other Thai souvenirs can linger.😃

You've been strangely quiet Uncle. Still reeling from the loss?

I'd love to win this although I don't think many of us can see a win at the Gabba a week later. Just couldn't take being bundled out by the filth and then this mob. There are limits fgs.

Is Max OK?

I'm sorry you feel that way. You obviously see the situation differently to many here. But I think any negativity you received be looked at with the same rationality that you feel you have applied to this incident. This is a Dees fan forum who most are closing ranks against a substantial ammount of noise out there. So its fair to assume some backlash . It's wrong if it's been personal but passions are understandably high, given there are more than enough defending Maynard already.

Maybe he could throw in some ceasing.

Dangers the "best".... “There's nothing in this for me. Unfortunately in this game, there’s contact that occurs. He can’t protect himself in that position either (Maynard). He’s at the mercy of the oncoming player.” To turn this around and have Gus who has the ball and playing the game as the oncoming traffic is wrong. It was Maynard who initiated the collision and akin to arguing that some bloke who veers across the wrong side of the road is a victim of the oncoming cars.

These violent delights have violent ends.
