Not just Pert’s comments that could come back to bite, but also his own recreational pursuits with Goodwin might actually get a mention.

Not to mention officials at AFL house

I am totally suss on this situation. Considering all they would probably know about players, coaches and officials antics - seems convenient to send a message by punishing a rookie listed player

So club captain rocks up to a media gig, and hasn’t been briefed by the club or bothered to read the SIA details.

Cmon Maxie, the public aren’t that naive to swallow that BS.

If you go off the broader population statistics; 2 in 5 AFL players have used an illicit drug at some point, and 1 in 6 in the past 12 months.
That works out to around 340 current players who have used at some point, and around 127 in the past 12 months.
It also works out that around 16 players on our list have used at some point and around 6 in the past 12 months.

Fair enough, if the CEO and Senior Coach have declared Melbourne have only “isolated behavioural issues”, can’t expect Max to step out of line.

Sad for him, always enjoyed watching him play.

Obviously had alot of concussions over the journey but that hit from Maynard was brutal.

Geez that is no good. All the best to him.

Poor bloke, just hope his alright. How Maynard was free to play in a Grand final is mind blowing. Same as how P.Cripps was let off for his hit which resulted him winning a Brownlow. Sadly the AFL has different rules depending on who you are and who you play for…

Feel very sorry for Brayshaw. I also enjoyed watching him play.

I can’t stand Maynard but still believe he didn’t do a lot wrong in this instance and that it was only a matter of time before Brayshaw copped another serious head knock
