POSTGAME: SF vs Carlton
We supposedly built a team that is primed for finals footy. We have lost 4 in a row. We consistently shoot ourselves in the foot with accuracy , bombing the ball into the fwd50. We have been doing this for 5 years. We do dumb things and keep repeating them Our selection policy is a shambles. We are unbelievably predictable Two finals we should have won and yet here we are. How is it the Kingsley takes a team thats 3 and 7 and wins a final as well as winning at 11 separate venues? How is it that Voss was in the gun to be sacked and here we are The mistakes are all our own. And we keep repeating them And you don't understand calls for him to be replaced? At this point we will have another 5 years of this and then we'll say what a wasted era

GAMEDAY: SF vs Carlton
McRae and Voss learned their footy under Mathews and in finals early territory is vital. Collingwood didn't bend down to pick up the ball at first they simply knocked, kicked, handballed it forward and the put huge pressure on the demon defence that started very slowly We were down 3 goals before you could think. Expect similar from Carlton and we have to stop it. Come out breathing fire and get the ball fwd at all costs. But no long bombs. I'd be happier with scrubbier ground balls that put real pressure on their defence. We have got this. Go Dees

- Maynard must get at least four weeks
100% correct- Maynard must get at least four weeks
As a hypothetical, Brayshaw could have determined to continue playing because the AFL had made the head sacrosanct and changed rules and suspensions to support this view to protect all players including of course himself. The Maynard incident is essentially unprecedented (possibly the closest is the Cripps incident) in that Maynard ran at full pace before jumping into Brayshaw. HIs intentions are probably irrelevant for this. There is no way Brayshaw would expect that front on contact as it is illegal, the contact was also late, and it was also high. It was also at a force that no one would have conceived. I think he would have a good case against the AFL and yet again they have made a rod for their own back in order to appease a big club/name player/finals aspirant etc The number of exceptions to the AFLs rulings (including Cripps, Vlastuin among others) may well mean that the AFL is not really serious about protecting the head. The spurious argument from Cornes about high marks where a players knee hits another's head is a furphy and totally different to a player being attacked head on as was Brayshaw. I hope he sues the AFL for millions.- PREGAME: SF vs Carlton

- Maynard must get at least four weeks
So he has form and has learned nothing. Imagine May or Kozzi doing something again that they had been suspended for....- Maynard must get at least four weeks
So long as you are consistent on this because theres a lot that gets through- Maynard must get at least four weeks
Choi's in Hawthorn- Maynard must get at least four weeks
It is infuriating that the evidence of Maynard was not challenged. He "jumped straight into the air" is a flat out lie. He ran full tilt and dived forward into Brayshaws path. The closing speed of the two players makes this dangerous and reckless. The side on view suggests he travelled at least 2m fwd Its front on which is illegal I didn't see him. - But I ran straight at him like a maniac I touched the footy - Flat out lie. He was miles off it I wouldn't have hit him had Brayshaw not changed direction is the biggest lie of the lot I am over the AFL. lets win flag and the rest can f off- Maynard must get at least four weeks
AFL and Integrity? Roll me over and call me Susan- Maynard must get at least four weeks
Why not ? Its rewarded?
