Sir Why You Little

I started reading this thread trying to get a bit of a balanced view on this season but clearly too early for most people to see any positivity. My positive take for what it's worth. Our draft position is enhanced, we will get a better draw next season and losing like that was horrible but would have been considerably worse if it had been the Grand Final or even a Prelim next week in Brisbane (knowing that we would have had a great chance in the Grand Final the following week). Clearly we should have won last weekend which was the killer because we would have been close to a certainty to make the Grand Final and even win the whole thing. This week's loss even worse but if we had won we would have faced a considerably harder task next weekend against Brisbane.    

Stop Dreaming. 
 

We didn’t win anything…..

Definitely wasted and Failed Campaigns. 2022-23
They cannot be looked at in any other way. 
4 home finals. All of them lost

The Last 2 years have been a Fail.
 

We have lost 4 Finals on our Home Ground 

Coaches and Players need to change, we are close, but nowhere near good enough 

This talk of us having the best list in the League MUST STOP NOW!!!

The Club must reevaluate very carefully over Summer

Not having any talk about us being overrated.. we are the best side in it, should have won last week.

This will be the flag we gave away.. mark my words, our biggest chance blown!

We are not the best side in it 

We have lost 4 Home Finals….

Big changes over Summer

We are massively OVER RATED 

Killed ourselves

Has nothing to do with my original post but here we are. 
 

Complete drop in IQ on Demonland tonight. 

You were talking about JVR’s elbow which is a totally different scenario. He got what he deserved. 
Angus Brayshaw has been hung out to dry

If you don’t understand the point of my posts then why are you replying? 
 

They aren’t hard to understand. 

The Head is once again fair game in the eyes of The AFL. 

Revenge is best served cold…

Ok cool.

The next Collingwood elbow that lands on a Melbourne player’s chin, it’s cool because it’s ‘ON’ yes?

JVR did it so it’s now open slather. 
 

Love the zero logic and complete lack of awareness that’s going on. 

Remember, my point is based upon Jaded wishing Howe injury.
 

So, if Collingwood fans were to wish JVR or any other Melbourne player injury based upon what JVR did, then it’s all fair yes? Because it’s ‘on’?

 

Sorry i have read your post 3 times and have no idea what point you are trying to make. 

The Head is now a Target, the Legal Eagles can get you off.

 
Thursday night was all Angus’ fault because he didn’t change direction 

23 minutes ago, BoBo said:

Once again, I don’t agree with this decision but I’m not on here spewing bile about wishing injury on other players. 
 

Take 48 hours and see if you feel the same as I know for a fact that many of you would decry this kind of rhetoric from other fans so it’s pretty frustrating that we don’t hold ourselves to the standards of others. 
 

 

I have been angry since Friday night 

Another 48 hours will make no difference. 
We were a man down, 1 minute into a Final and it’s all Angus’ fault 

It’s “on”

The next time we play the pies and some Collingwood player ‘tests’ out JVR’s jaw with their elbow, then I trust you’ll be all there saying whatever injury that happens is fair retribution and supporting Collingwood supporters pointing to his suspension is as why he deserves it. 
 

I don’t agree with this call, I don’t like that Cox did that to Maxy, but maintain a bit of dignity and be better than dog Collingwood supporters? 

 

Jadeds post was wishing (its implicit in the statement ‘test out that mangled arm’) Howe physical harm, that’s not on. 

After the result of Tonight’s hearing, “everything is on”

We have a Player who was knocked out cold, in the first minute of the game, who may not play again. 
And the opponent is free to play on….

It is “on” now. This disgrace will not be forgotten 

I am shocked, seriously. 
This will have serious ramifications 

The head is no longer safe….

This will cost the AFL $millions….

If Maynard gets off this charge, it is officially “Drop the Shoulder” September. 
The Lawyers will get us cleared….

It’s a buyers market. We need to maximize this. We also need a key forward, Ready Made….

Also, for f sake, he had no forward momentum: he had jumped to smother, then, after the ball had passed him, he thrust his shoulder forward straight into Brayshaw's head. All the thug had to do was land, it's not as though Brayshaw was going to take him out - Brayshaw was playing football, Maynard was playing the man.

Spot on. 100%

I might be alone here but I don't think Maynard should be suspended. If you watch the footage from the behind the goals angle, Maynard jumps forward and towards the left to smother the kick while Brayshaw is stepping directly forward and while Maynard is in mid air Brayshaw completes his kick and changes direction into the path of Maynard who at this point braces for impact.  We were up in arms re the Van Rooyen spoil earlier this year and I think the Maynard case is similar in that he wasn't trying to make forceful contact it is simply a collision between two players who were focussing on the ball.  While the ball carrier needs to be protected I think Maynard did this by jumping at an angle during the attempted smother.

What Absolute Rubbish 

Maynard could have just as easily swung his body to the left to avoid a problem. He didn’t

Wow that is damning. Why is maynard “protecting himself” here? The only person that was ever going to get hurt here was Gus. 

Exactly. No one gives a dam about Angus in the Media. It is disgusting 

Maynard could have swung to the left and the game goes on…

He didn’t, thus Brayshaw’s career must be in some jeopardy

We don’t or we can’t for the next 3 weeks we showed against St Kilda and Brisbane we need to rejig the forward line. Crows did it in 97 & 98 when Modra went down and lost form after returning from ACL.

Someone with forward craft will do, change up the midfield rotation and leave Petracca predominantly forward. 
 

We need to try something different next Friday with our forward mix. If JVR is suspended Tmac stays to play back up ruck. Play a more mobile fwd line even if that means playing Tomo and fcs small fwds get front and centre.

Chandler    Tomo/Smith  Kossie

Trac            Tmac       Fritta

 

I would play Grundy rather than TMac

He was so far off it last night, a good solid career has come to an end

I think we have one in JVR. Our kids just need to learn how to deliver the ball to his advantage 

He has 1-2 years of growth and learning. 
We need to poach an experienced forward. 
TMac has run his race..

Just now, Supreme_Demon said:

Our connectivity (kicking) into the forwardline was deplorable too.

How do we remedy that conundrum as well? 🤔

We need more players who are excellent kicks and fantastic decision makers.

We need a player who can take Pack Marks. 
that’s what we missed last night

Who should they go after? Thoughts?

Big key Forward. Not having one is killing us in high pressure games

Collingwood should have lost last night, we blew a huge opportunity 

Goodwin has just signed an extension, whilst he is Coach we need to get a big key forward. 
We dominated all the stats except the Scoreboard, again
