Oh ffs, tell the guy who’s still living thanks to Goody that this is a “touch dramatic.”
Obviously need Kane Cornes to dig deeper into this...

This is a heartwarming story and illustrates the traits of courage, decency and bravery we see exhibited week-in week out by AFL sportsmen. Less so, the sensation-seeking click-baiting columnists feeding off our club at the present.

I don't particularly like the Melbourne synopsis. In fact, I don't find it funny but bordering on libellous.
That should be taken down asap.

I think the article meant to refer to North...

Not sure if this is good, or not.
I'm just listening to the bloke now...

You wouldn't see TH getting front-end loaded by "footy acts" either. As Walt said in Breaking Bad, "I am the danger".

A remarkable human being and one of the best people you could ever hope to have at your club. He brings so much to our club and we should be incredibly proud that he plays for us.
Even if he doesn’t play another game, his contribution next year will be immeasurable. If every young player at our club models themselves on Ben, they’ll be better for it.
There's a guy in my town (Warragul) l think he works in Woolies, has a hot Cooper S mini with BBB demon number plates.

History will record that the only two times collingwood has beaten us in a final since ww2 was courtesy of their roughouse, dirty tactics in 1958, and then in 2023, courtesy of the AFL-sanctioned poleaxing of one of our key playmakers.

Said in an article that the top six vote getters were also top 6 in the coaches award...but that's just confirmation bias, with umpires ticking off the box beside the big name players.

Educated guess, but is that Doc Roet third from left?
-
Is that John Lord far left?

I bet you didn't say that when we poached Diamond Jim.

They’re a highly skilled team
They take the first option, like a top premier league team. We are always stopping and propping with no options upfield.

GWS play with no fear. (Unlike us: we seemed mentally fatigued). Maynard certainly would not attempt to poleaxe Toby Greene, he would get his face caved in. Would be excellent to see Collingwood get knocked over after their recent AFL-approved performances.

JVR gets a week and disgraceful tribunal lets Maynard off. Tells you all you need to know about the thugs running the AFL, not to mention their goons and cheer squad in the media. Bring on class actions and get these glass box execs into a courtroom where they can defend their "footy actions" in a public forum.

A bit unreal to see people defending Maynard. He had other choices while still attempting the smother, which is why he'll face the tribunal.
As a side note, umpires paid a downfield free, which isn't going to help the "football act" defence.
Haven't seen it mentioned here but great to see the old boys code of football violence swept away by new broom, Laura Kane. The sooner these "nothing to see" drongoes are removed from media positions, the better. It's football, not headball.

Play Grundy in the ruck as he’s great as an extra mid when the ball hits the deck ala Luke Jackson. Let him and Max share the ground. He has to come in, there’s no one else
About time someone started making sense around here. The solution lies in plain sight. And if sonething did click, it could be the catalyst that we so absolutely need at this moment.

Making a statement and taking out a key playmaker. A time-honoured footy act, practised in finals. Like the last time Collingwood beat Melbourne in a finsl, and Murray Weidemann took out Ron Barassi. Or the 1990 GF when Essendon snipers tried to stop Collingwood. All for us patrons in the Colisseum, who want to see blood, who want to see highlights reels of "footy acts".

An aside to Gus being terribly hurt why didnt more players remonstrate with him ,May should have been sent forward for 10 mins to belt the [censored] out of him.Getting all work up again and angry,still havent got the spit of the tv from last night
Keep May well away, what can he do, other than get himself reported. A mini team meeting to show dissent resolve against Maynard's behaviour.

Like it or not, footy will become less and less of a contact sport due to concussion liabilities. Knee to head in marking contest will go at some point. Not if, but when
It is possible to train out these habits. We've trained out the deliberate hip and shoulder, we've trained players to turn their bodies to avoid head-on contact.
In 15 years time, what is acceptable now will look like a 1980's biffs, bumps and brawl VHS video
I know plenty of parents who are nervous about their kids playing footy due to concussions. The AFL will change the game to respond accordingly
I would hate to see knee to the head disappear out of our game...

Can't fault our mental toughness, heart and desire to compete. It's admirable for sure and says a lot about how far we've come and the kind of culture we've created. Clearly we're respected.
Ultimately we lost the game in a way that has been a trend for how long now? Too long. Years.
Oliver is a great example tonight of what too many of our players do. Bomb shallow, high, sometimes long. Just zero composure. That was as close to as the most non-infliential 30 touch game I've seen from someone and he gave away stupid free kicks also.
Tom McDonald, wow.
Max Gawn is just too good to believe and almost single handedly kept us alive. A pleasure watching him.
Brayshaw being subbed out clearly didn't help our cause. But the signs were already there imo. Collingwood were cleaner, tougher and more proactive early and we just couldn't match it. One good quarter is never enough.
And for those saying Maynard should get weeks, you have no idea. He jumped in the air to smother. That was the football action. And once in the air, could not do a thing to stop his body colliding into Brayshaw's.. Extremely unfortunate for Gus and Melbourne supporters, but if you cannot see it for what it is, you have a serious Melbourne bias and just completely unreasonable. Some of the comments on here are hilariously embarrassing.
Maynard is scum, but he actually did nothing wrong.
Let's hope Gus is okay, we can still do some damage although I see some serous holes appearing for us.
Aussie rules supporters are just brainwashed into lauding this so-called manly "split-second" stuff. Is this writer saying the coach is wrong as well? These are the kind of head hits that future class-actions are made of and intimidatory behaviour should be called out and suspensions applied when they are attempted . CTE is too strong an issue to protect the perpetrator ahead of the victim/ball-carrier..

Vale Ronald Dale Barassi - Rest in Peace

In the multiverse, TV footage of the incident was accepted and RDB got off. But we lost by a point after Doug Wade blatantly dug his knee into Bernie Massey's back and converted after the siren. In the following year Melbourne inexplicably slumped because RDB couldn't get over being beaten by Norm Smith in the club's mid-season darts tournament.
