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.

I personally have for some time thought AFL House would be much better located in Moolap. Fairer for all.

I get this feeling that MFC is a very professional organisation. We are just quietly going about our business whilst the media keeps looking for the next shiny thing.

I can’t remember my 20s.

Goody did say Grundy won’t play this week so not sure why he is named - emergency I guess. I favour him being on the bench to share ruck duties against their two rucks.

I also reckon Grundy could be on bench to help Max in coming weeks as opposed to being forward.

Have also been an advocate of this going into the future. Unfortunately BBB seems to have succumbed to injury and TMac is not the future. A forward line using Petty, Kossie, Chandler, Melksham, Fritta, JvR looks potent. Trac rolling through makes it more scary. Woey will get his chances going forward and Melky is coming to the end of his career. We need to make sure we have the third tall in defence still whether that be Tommo, Turner, even TMac in short term. Long thought Smith is the ultimate sub. Looking positive methinks.
