I'm heading to my daughters wear your footy colours day school parade this morning. I might have more dees gear on than the kids

We will win and fans will still be ambivalent because our forward line didn't kick a big enough score

Amazing i'm still fuming about this when we have a final to play tonight. I'm so sick post tribunal decision of posters, general public and media talking about a "loophole" and the need for a rule change at the end of the season. The rule and opportunity to suspend is there. Rough Play is either intentional or reckless. There is no definition of "footballing act" that somehow absolves you of any responsibility for your actions. The AFL is p!ss weak and no rule change will fix that.

Maynard has knocked 2 blokes unconcious in "footballing acts" They both should sue him. Much stronger case with 2 of them.

Everyone's entitled to their opininion and i respect yours. I also put weight on the Brayshaw family's opinion. This isn't their first Rodeo but they haven't been outraged like this before.

It should have actually been a free to Collingwood because Brayshaw didn't jump out of the way after he kicked it

I hope Brayshaw turns up at Gleesons house unannounced today with a recycled bottle of red and flowers to thank him for his support

Prison Break

It was just self defence

Remember when Brent Moloney got suspended because the other bloke fell over and got concussed but Moloney didn't even may contact with him. What a farce

They won the premiership 2 weeks ago

Surely

It could be legit looks like they have just added jail bars in their name

The Melbourne PR machine are taking it up to Collingwood in the background. Snippets have popped up in the news everywhere in the past 24hours. The medical report for the tribunal tonught will be rightly savage

Don't get me wrong i am furious at Maynard but the Pies supporters chanting COLLINGWOOD while Brayshaw was out cold and getting a neck brace secured on was even more sickening

Its alot easier to play with a brpken toe than cracked ribbs (Cripps)

It's frustrating and is very occasionally the reason we lose, however, we win much more often than we lose hence finishing in the top 4 the last 3 years. We kick to a predictable spot and stick to the side we are kicking from rather than opening it up and giving the opposition a chance to slingshot or turn their defence into offence. When we have the ball locked into our forward they can't score but we can and by nature we spend alot of time there. Having Melksham out hurts us because he kicks alot of goals from the spots in the pockets we kick it too. I'm not saying it is the right thing to do, perhaps, we should back our midfield with Gawn, Oliver, Viney etc.. but on percentages we win alot more often than not. If we had the luxury of playing Petracca in the forward line last week the percentages probably would have worked in our favour like they normally do.

How does JJ normally score on pressure ratings? Would he be comparable to Brayshaw or do we lose alot there if he is the replacement

I hope its delayed as long as possible so Collingwood have minimal time to appeal

Too many people in this thread listening to the wrong Kane

McClean looked good on Friday night. I'm not sure why they would be chasing Grundy although McClean looks like everything Grundy isn't, so they might complement each other better than gawn/grun

I'm holding a lifetime grudge

The only alternative is to change the players who are sitting back waiting for the oppositions quick kick out of defence to our long kicking players. May, Gawn, Rivers & Chandler can all kick it 60m. Instead of repeat i50's have a ping at the goals. We're just as likely to kick a goal as we are from deep in the pocket and the opposition will need to start spreading more to try and stop it
