Been great for us Hibberd, always gives his all. I wonder if he can be given licence to channel his inner Frankston and get involved in some “footy acts” as the media loves to call them. …….. tongue in cheek!

I was thinking the same thing and wondering why we extended his contract a while ago for another year.

What the hell have we done to the media!!! Goody makes reasonable comments post match in the emotion of it and gets lambasted Mcrae makes comments about it defending his player and it’s good old Fly

Yet again - All year the AFL have said if you choose a certain course of action such as leaving the ground and the head of an opponent is hit then you wear the consequences because you chose the course of action. It’s that simple, everything else is distraction. End of story.

Yes I know the narrative about Schache but we signed him for another year and TMac, really, are we confident he will win a one on one battle. At least Schache is a tall forward so could be novel to have one of those in our forward line given JvR is out.

Gee this must be raw for Danielle and Anita - just horrible.

AFL must surely see a future lawsuit here if they let Maynard off. Prime evidence of lacking duty of care.

The ex players, media and AFL are playing with fire here given Brayshaw’ concussion history, the high profile of the Brayshaw family and Gus’ direct connection to the Frawley family and the Danny Frawley Centre. Lip service only and total hypocrisy if it involves a star player or favoured team.

Very, very disappointed and stuffs the whole weekend … but it is nice to support a club that is playing finals with realistic chances of winning after decades of specialising in draft expectations. How good if we do go through and beat them in the GF - the ultimate! Does anyone seriously believe if it was May taking out a Daicos instead of Maynard on Brayshaw the media narrative would be the same? Pie also supporters living up to their scum reputation. Our forwards just do not win one on ones and our game plan allows for a totally clogged forward line. With JvR getting suspended TMac will have to stay in which sadly is less than inspiring but who else - we are down to Grundy or Schache. We have manufactured scores during the year but suddenly it seems much harder. Yuk day!

What the hell is with the media trying to get Maynard off. He elected to jump and caused a player to go off concussed. How can it be any clearer.

For some reason based on nothing the idea of Grundy coming in appeals. If he does and we win, the media melts would be delicious.

I have no idea but perhaps they operated on the sidelines like they have with the Jack the beast a few times.

Collingwood, Collingwood, Brisbane, Brisbane, Carlton, Carlton … the media and their shiny objects. Did you notice the huge amount of airtime Goody got for contract extension.

Just sucks big time!

We better not have a concussion given afl rigged Thurs night preference for Dees Pies. Would be one day short and pies get 3 more days than us.

How much would Port have to win by to take 2nd off Brisbane?

I reckon Schache suffers a bit from confirmation bias from supporters. I’ve seen him play very decent games at Casey, kick multiple goals in games, be an effective second ruck and show courage backing into packs. He just seems to lack intensity so is unlikely to be selected because the team demands that attribute. It’s a shame because he could be our forward line temporary solution if it can all come together for him. I would not be devastated for him to get a game.

Hopefully not season deciding!

My fear and looking more probable is playing a great season, finishing third and playing first final against Lions in Brisbane.

I can understand Umpires missing frees and making mistakes, it is the nature of the game. I cannot understand umpires looking directly at blatant frees right in front of them and not paying them. They know the rules. We were shafted last night.

Well I certainly hope this week the media give the pies the fawning attention they rightly deserve as the greatest team ever

Really think I would prefer Pies first week of finals instead of Lions

So over Barrett being Barrett.

What are the experts going to do if Max has a good game AND Grundy is in the side.

Don’t even need to listen. Barrett being Barrett.
