Why did he need to tuck them in to protect himself?

Least chance of injury to himself and it’s exactly as you’re taught.

Honestly don’t even think Collingwood are playing that good just Melbourne are really sucking atm. Just bombing the ball on the boot not even looking

Least chance of injury is with the hands into the player to brace then roll into him. Not sure who's teaching the brace but fair enough if it is what's being taught.

Either way, shouldn't be weeks. My thought is more that if you are going to commit a dog act then that is the single most perfectly executed and perfect scenario in which to do it because there is no possible way you can 100% attribute any negative intent.

Maynard one looked bad to me tbh

I understand protecting yourself but to me it looks like hes turned right into brayshaw leading with the elbow/shoulder

 

[mattis117]

Just no class in the Melbourne forward line.

 

[freo_leo29]

Gee the pies get away with all the little holds

 

[mayne iac]

The difference between Maynard and Van Rooyen stark

jVr should get 3-4 weeks.

Wouldn’t even look twice at Maynard

Pfft

Has been horrid

Kozzy pickett is turning this game around by himself

 

[Kapow!!!]

Pickett is nearly single handedly trying to lift them back into this

 

[mayne iac]

Geez bobby Hill makes me think collard...
Must get

 

[freo_leo29]

Lever dropping evreything tonight

 

[FreoRicci]

Melbourne’s wingers are rag dolls this game. Langdon and Hunter are such squibs. Great runners, soft as butters everywhere else

 

[largebus]

Dees I50 delivery is worse than ours.
If Fritsch wasnt such a squib pickett would have another goal

 

[muzzington]

How many smother attempts end with the kicker being knocked out? Should get something for the crude attempt.

 

[FreoRicci]

Langdon probably worst on ground. Horrific efforts. Soft as

32 inside 50s for 16 points

 

[Alfonz]

Melbourne playing a horrible brand of football to watch. Ultra defensive and so slow to move the ball. Then bombing it in long. Reminds me of Freo when we were doing the same and everyone was slamming us.

Lever is like Pearce. Shouldn’t kick under any circumstances sometime

 

[FreoRicci]

FoxFooty just want Collingwood to win.
What else is Maynard supposed to do?
Gee these reporters have no unbiased views

I think it's because their midfield is getting belted. Slow and long because can't win the contest , sounds familiar.

 

[greatgatsby]

Van Rooyen half the footballer Amiss is.

 

[greatgatsby]

Kosi great of late but he and Fritsch gave nothing early.

 

[Kapow!!!]

I don't know whether to think Melbourne should be kicking themselves that they're not closer/in front or whether they should be happy they're within 3 goals. They've been terrible yet have controlled so much of the play in that 2nd quarter.

It's a huge benefit for them that it's dry again
