bowes - who said this bloke could football?

One thing to note, Pies were running very hard in that first quarter... let's see how that effects them as the game goes on...

 

[Opium]

Can't see Melbourne kicking a winning score from here

 

[LemmingMaster]

Maynard has a duty of care to Brayshaw. He failed in that duty. He should be playing his last game for the season.

And don't even get me started about dangerfield making prognostications about this sort of incident. President of the players group etc posing as judge and jury.

Pretend Maynard is Curnow, I bet you say something completely different.

Maynard was trying to spoil and braced himself when coming down to land. I would hope if that was Curnow, it would be seen as a football incident.

Pace is trumping grunt atm … we’re gonna need an extra runner or two I reckon

Collingwood aren’t committing the same numbers to each contest. One goes in 3 or four are lining up. To tackle the Melb player or receive and take off.

Contested ball is our strength because we do the same.

Melb aren’t following instructions.

 

[TENACIOUS]

FFS wake up Dees…

I want to knock the Pies out in straight sets next week…

Bruz rest of year off, what a “dog”

Godwin’s had the keys to a pretty good Ferrari, tactically think he needs work.

 

[LemmingMaster]

Hibberd is looking like a terrible inclusion, the guy has concrete boots compared to Elliot. Lever and May also having shockers.

It's identical to the Cripps incident the way I see it. Both leave the ground to contest the ball in a football act. Both have no intention to bump. Both whilst in the air brace to protect themselves. Just a ridiculously unfortunate outcome in both cases

Nope. He rotates his shoulder and collects him. I would be very worried if I saw Charlie do that...

Let’s remember who the MRO officer is so won’t even be looked at wonder what Robbo will say after his last comments on Maynard’s tackle same round as Boyd got suspended

 

[Blue Heart]

How wet is it ... raining at the Gee ? What's the going ... soft 5 or 6 or heavy 7 or 8 ?

 

[LemmingMaster]

van Rooyen is going to have a few weeks holiday.

 

[Aphrodite]

Lever is

I loathe the sniper that is Maynard but agree entirely with this post.

 

[thylacine60]

melbourne haven't fired a shot.........

 

[BigBreakfast]

Pies are flexing all over the ground.

 

[ESKIE]

melbourne haven't fired a shot.........

Pies too good

 

[euphegenia]

Dees will will be without Brayshaw and prob Van Rooyen next week - would be a good time to face them.

 

[BigBreakfast]

Daicos just made 4 Dees look foolish.

Nope. Of you are genuine about protecting the head you cannot allow a loophole that let's people cannonball into a players head.

Commentators say "he was already in the air. What can he do". The simple snswer us not to leap at a player when you know that the only outcome is to cannon into him.

Early days but there is a remote possibility that this ends Brayshaw's career. Do you just say bad luck mate?

 

[BIuebagger]

Melbourne having some massive brain fades when defending. Being let off the hook big time though

 

[Aphrodite]

Dees giving away dumb frees

 

[agro]

Someone should tell Maynard he doesn’t have to keep pleading his case to the umpire - he’ll have Michael Christian looking after him

 

[thylacine60]

pies deliberately winning to avoid us...........
