Superunknown

Misdirection/straw man. He wasn’t playing for us. I don’t feel sorry for him at all. Plays at the edge - live by the sword die by it. I would savour him missing a GF except I don’t want them to win it.

if the afl is serious about concussion they will mount a very strong case including Maynard’s alleged comments to media outlining his intent to damage/cause hurt. That establishes motive/intent and removes any ambiguity about malice or lack thereof

Club to read this and implement fix: Finals Fix: Manic Magpies expose Dees' massive flaw - but here's why they should have to win it all without Maynard

I can live with it. Much preferred to have won Carlton port and GWS

It’s the knock on effect. Melk crucial marks and taking quality back. JVR same plus clunking / halving contests. I’d suggest it’s a bigger impact than just the goals

glad we cleared that up, and I note the point has additional specificity which wasn’t the original point. Some people don’t wish to be around the sort of nonsense we read about. That doesn’t make them soft.

I think an interesting adjunct to this story is Christian’s position. If it’s true he was disinclined to refer Maynard to the tribunal, or had some difficulty coming to that decision - compelling Kane to step in -when taken alongside the broader context of the current litigation against the AFL, Christian’s position appears untenable. He’s either hopelessly conflicted, or hopelessly incompetent, because this is a prima facie case for a lengthy on the spot sanction. Either way, he must go. A legal, ethical and PR nightmare. It’ll be interesting to see what happens there. If I’m Kane, I’m removing him at season’s end and reviewing the MRO.

Shots fired shots fired Collingwood key backman’s final campaign imperiled by cowardly act Mobilise all media resources - turn positive PR up to the max gus Is a bigger man than I.

Good points, however - Maynard has form here and had other options and we know he had a duty of care. He’s a buffoon and if he wants play like he does, he has to wear the opprobrium. God imagine if this had been Greene on Daicos. The media would be baying for blood.

What? After reading what the Pies fans were like, and seeing the first 1/4 effort , and what happened to Gus, people are deflated. You might not like it or agree with it but it doesn’t mean they’re not real supporters.

How refreshing! Another record to add to our list that is unlikely to be beaten for…..ever

The Carlton GWS Freo and Port losses - many of them replete with bad kicking at goal - start to become somewhat irksome, no? We need to focus on poise, composure and getting good looks. Also elite decision making and kicking.

It’s a good point - but is it Goodwin’s fault or the match committee?

I’ve got a cheeky couple on them for the flag.

My (very amateur) view is we should be drafting multiple picks across multiple positions this draft with our hand. Get 4 and 5 and pick the best available. O Sullivan, Caddy, Watson- whomever. I think going for Reid imperils our next few years’ attack at the flag. Top up / bolster with McAdam and the Brodie ruck stop gap, and other cheapies.

I just don’t know where our goals will come from unless BBB magically comes good or Grundy and Fritsch and Trac and Koz can have a day out with 3 from Chin.

What are the gender optics here?

Really? incompetence or collingwood protection racket or as propagandhi sing in tartuffe “The truth is a little bit of column A, a little bit column B”

Get more disposals and kick goals cox’s incidental acts like taking two Mfc players out and allowing a pies mark and goal don’t count. Things like that

One of Janes Addiction’s greats

All of this all of it another 50 years in purgatory beckons. It was good to see one. On the TV.

Agree would have nullified Cox and freed max lost at selection again

Refer my post about nasty Footy actions only

He had a vfl injury I think ?

Plus a million compo
