Jaded No More

It was a goon sack

One way or another this goes to appeal. I hope it drags on and on and it impacts their preparation and Maynard is suffering from the nervous runs all week in the lead up. And then the appeal fails and the Magpie Army with their 7 brain cells and 3 teeth lose their mind. And I get to watch Maynard’s sad face in the stands on prelim day.

Jack Martin got two weeks for his action last night If that deserves 2 weeks, then Maynard is absolutely [censored]

How fair is it that Gus might miss not just finals but the rest of his career? Maynard has form. Is a thug from a long way back. Not two minutes after he smashed Gus he head-butted Viney. Ffs he made a decision to go the man. He has to live with those consequences. Consequences FAR less severe than the consequences Gus will now have to deal with it. I am in disbelief that you are actually feeling sad and sorry for Maynard and comparing his suspension to players who got injured in legitimate footy accidents and missed finals. Jesus wept.

But wait, the lawyer hasn’t made his appearance yet

To be fair did anyone think they’ll make finals?

Just like we all were with Kosi in round one. Despite Smith being completely fine!!!

Let’s concentrate on the young man who might have to give up footy all together in the prime of his career because Maynard doesn’t know how to smother without turning his body and tucking his elbow in 🙄

You know who wouldn’t beat us? West Coast

If you don’t know what he was supposed to do, watch the Kosi smother attempt on Hoskin Elliot in that same game. Exactly the same action but Kosi doesn’t barrel into him. He turns and avoids him. Easy done.

A player running wide open kicking inside 50 doesn’t deserve to lose consciousness as a result? Our game is so weak now.

It’s just nice to see this man happy. He went through so much as a young kid. Good that he found his place!

Listen when you lose to Collingwood it takes 48 hours to recover I am still very worried about our forwardline. Roo out and no Gus (so Trac has to play more midfield) and it makes us even less potent. I am not sure where we get our goals from.

So Carlton with the same winning margin as our losing margin. We played a much better team on a ground that doesn’t advantage one side over the other (unlike Carlton playing the G versus an interstate club). Like the Pies, Carlton got lucky that the Swans butchered multiple shots at goal late. I think Carlton play very good high quality football. Are they better than Collingwood tho? No they aren’t. They don’t have the experience nor the foot skills or speed of the Pies. The only thing that will stop us from winning is us. We need to find a way to score at least 12 goals to win.

Yeah how does that grub Tom Morris know about Maynard going over to Gus’ house? I doubt Gus told him 🙄

And very few posters, if any, defended Kosi’s actions in round 1 which didn’t even result in an injury. I thought his actions were very poor, despite him having absolutely no prior history and had he concussed Smith I would have had no qualms with him missing a month. The argument was always that the MRO grades on outcome and in Kosi’s case there was no impact to Smith. If Gus walks up and walks off, Maynard wouldn’t be in trouble even tho his actions showed no duty of care and were very careless.

Gus doesn’t have a history of thuggish behavior If Kosi did that to Maynard the media would want him banned for life

The last smother that ended in a career ending injury was Whelan on Brown. That was a pure accident and a legitimate freak accident. We see attempted smothers 100 times a week. Never does a player end up knocked out as a result. As shown in this thread, Kosi did the same thing against WHE in the same game and yet WHE is still standing. Funny that.

I was only kidding. I too am Jewish and will be attending with the rest of the crew I go with who are also Jewish. My Carlton mates who are Jewish aren’t going tho.

Doubt Mark is thrilled that channel 7 interviewed Maynard post game in an effort to defend his actions, while his son was in the rooms with a possible career ending concussion. I know JB has literally no say in who channel 7 interviews post game tho, so it’s not like it was his call.

Saints can’t take a trick with their injuries either. Massive out.

How many of them had a forwardline sticky taped together by fumes and duct tape? 🫠

This. He would know his poor nephew’s history with head knocks and that his other nephew also had his jaw broken in an AFL game. He would probably know Anita and Danielle fairly well both thru Spud and Gus. He would know how his brother and sister in law would be feeling watching Gus get stretched off and probably in tears in the room afterward. It’s embarrassing how the media conducted itself, but what else is new?! These low IQ bubbling idiots masquerading as commentators, combined with poor cameras and inconsistent umpiring, makes games unbearable.

Let’s not even mention that half the channel 7 team frothing at their mouth were very close to Danny Frawley, who won’t get to walk Danielle down the aisle and see her marry Gus because he ended his life due to the impact of ECT. The utter lack of respect was astounding. I can’t imagine the decision Gus has to make. Nor how his entire family must be feeling.
