Christian Petracca’s 2024 Season Ending Injuries
No doubt the real victim Darcy Moore (like that other thug Maynard) will get heaps of sympathetic publicity now

Deep Midfield Issues
Unfortunately our midfield consists of guys that just can't kick and hit targets. Yesterday, our core midfielders had a combined total of 13 effective kicks (Oliver 4, Viney 4, Windsor 3, Langdon 2). Compare that to the Swans (against arguably better opposition on Sunday) whose core midfielders had a combined total of 47 effective kicks (Heeney 8, Warner 13, Gulden 18, McInerney 8). But the Swans are on another level this year (in particular, fitness) thanks to a $40m handout in government funding that helped pay for an altitude training room with 45 watt bikes not to mention having exclusive access to the finest talent in their area via their academy (e.g. Heeney from Maitland, Gulden from Maroubra, Mills from Mosman, etc.). And yet we are still looking for a home training base since 1965 ☹️

Maynard unscathed
Agree. Disgraceful. Hope the thug gets his comeuppance one day

Maynard unscathed
May was booed louder and more often today than Maynard. Asked the filth next to me why and the reply: "Because May is dirty"

Kozzy bump on Soligo
Not just premeditated. I have always wondered if it was a direct order from the coach. Has anyone ever asked the holier-than-thou McRae what his instructions to Maynard were before that fateful match? We had a birds eye view of the incident from Level 4 and it sure looked like to us that Maynard lined up Gus from 30m out. Still livid (and extremely sad and upset for Gus) over the whole incident. It was written in the stars that a Dees player would then get suspended under the new rule. The irony

Petracca - laser like bullets van Rooyen - our 2nd ruckman Petty - versatility is gold Howes - most improved player Windsor - pace to burn- TICKETING: 2024 Opening Round
FYI, just spoke to the SCG and all MCC members (any category) can purchase reciprocal members tickets (1 member and 1 guest) to this opening round match BUT only from the members ticket booth on the actual day, in person, from 5pm (half an hour before the member gates open). Seems a bit risky booking flights and accom if the members is a sell out on the day. Would be interested to know if any MCC members on this forum have purchased reciprocal members tickets to the footy up there recently and if there were any problems? I last used my MCC membership at the SCG almost 30 years ago and the members then was only busy on cricket days, not footy.- Maynard must get at least four weeks
This seriously can't be our medical report? Adelaide buried Jack Trengove in 2011 with their medical report- Maynard must get at least four weeks
- Maynard must get at least four weeks
3 weeks. Straight to Appeals Board, where the lawyers hopefully re-enact the incident in person- PREGAME: SF vs Carlton
- Maynard must get at least four weeks
No doubt will soon find out....- Maynard must get at least four weeks
Lower centre of gravity - more like a bulldozer than a flying cannonball lol- Maynard must get at least four weeks
The only journo worth listening to is one of the most experienced - Mark Duffield in WA. He says Maynard "plays like a human cannonball":- Maynard must get at least four weeks

Exactly what Trac said today: "I feel like the last three or four weeks we probably had a similar forward line and it’s worked really well so us mids need to get better at actually delivering the ball inside 50 better rather than blazing away and putting it on their heads.” One can only hope they all look up before they kick it into the forward line. And pray the subsequent shot on goal is straight and true! - My 3 word player analysis V Hawthorn
