Was it avoidable? Absolutely yes He didn't bring his arms straight down. he turned and launched the point of his shoulder into Gus' head. Life Ban for mine.

If Maynard had jumped in the air to 'bump' Gus he would be gone for all money. Does the fact he tried to 'spoil' the kick - even totally unrealistically - change the fact that he collected Gus in the had with the point of his shoulder? There are numerous examples of players contesting the ball and then at the last minute bracing for contact who have been suspended. But then there was Patrick Cripps who left the ground and KO'd Ah Chee from Brisbane A Collingwood veteran on the MRP will help the cause for Maynard I'm sure.

Selfish Bayley re-appeared last night. Burnt players. Jumped on packs with no chance of getting the ball, spoiled our own players Bad habit

Will be a few showers of lightish rain but v windy apparently

Just looking at some Coll games. In 9 games this year they have been behind at 3/4 time. Amazing for a team that is so "dominant" We've got this.

Hawkins was a beast from Day 1 Kicked 5g in his first game against us. He is the polar opposite of jefferson.

Darling is the most overated footballer in the league

Listen to a guy from the weather bureau on SEN. Said rain would hit between 6pm and 7pm but be fairly light with a couple of showers across the evening. The bigger issue would appear to be wind as it will be gusty/blustery all night.

Just needs to stop Moore. If he scores goals then all well and good. Thats a bonus

Or any day?

You have too much time on your hands! In Jason Taylor and Tim Lamb we trust

Very stiff not to be a Premiership player with the Dees Goodwin never liked him

One thing we know from Jackson and Pickett is that the club will take the players it needs and rate. Both Jackson and Pickett were valued way behind the picks they were taken. We copped heat for our picks because "no one takes a ruckman at 3" and pickett was ranked as low a 30 by a few. Taylor and Lamb will be all over this and we will get good players regardless of where others rank them.

A surprising number of times they have been behind at 3/4 time. They really put pressure on their last quarter bursts. May not work with the Dees.

Or Montagg- na as opposed to Montannya

Is that like rope burn?

He had other options. West Coast gave him a three year deal I believe. And you're right, He didn't want to leave.

You can't teach aggression, intensity and physicality - thats my biggest worry for him It's innate in players like JVR and Viney.

He didn't have to go to West Coast

Max is 32 later this year. We have no other ruckman that can take over if needed

Port have no draft pick currency. And they're trying to land ratugalea with a prayer and fairy dust

Jefferson will be lucky to make it sadly. I wish him well but there just isn't anything about him that screams afl other thanhis height. Little urgency, no physicality or mongrel or even skills compared to say Sestan that has skills, footy nous and natural goal awareness. Sestan may not make it either but there is at least a core skill set to work with.

My favourite was the poster who said we should beat Melbourne easily as they are coming off a 4 day break, playing on a Thursday. Someone kindly pointed out the week's holiday! KB we kicked 6g 10b from set shots including 4 posters. They kicked 3 in the first 10min dues largely to our turnovers, and they kicked 2 goals in the last 45 seconds. The rest of the game we mauled them

we need to fix the goal kicking. 6g 10b from set shots. 4 posters!

Clearly Ed Langdon needed more prepping - now that he has been banned for life from speaking to the media!! Rd 22 last year was his 'All duck no dinner' comment!
