Ridiculous act by May.. one week penalty is appropriate 

Oh please ?

I'm extremely disappointed in the poor discipline shown by May (which is not unusual for him).  Regardless of whether the decision is right or wrong, he should never have put himself in that position.  It wasn't a show of strength, but rather a show of stupidity, which is likely to cost the team.  Grrr.

The opposition player was not watching where he was going. I think May probably thought that the player would look up and avoid May - but he didn't till it was too late.

Mind you, if May missed his chin and only collected as far up as his upper chest, the players chin would have gone forward initially, then back. If he struck the chin at all the head would have gone back straight away. judge for yourselves

Judged to be careless conduct and medium impact to the head.

But "Berry walked off the ground unassisted and was not concussedSo how is it 'medium impact'?  Must appeal on that alone!!

Spot on.  If it's medium impact then you would expect him to have some sort of concussion, blood nose etc.  He didn't.  He walked off the ground and, being a JLT game, kept him off as a precaution.  I'm hoping they challenge as I think they have a chance of winning it.

Agree.

Can't believe what some other posters are talking about here. 


Seriously though, if that's medium impact to the head, then every single high tackle should be considered extreme contact and we would be left with no players.

I think the neck is considered high though isn't it? Mays shoulder goes right in under his chin into his neck. but if there's no injury to the neck could you say it was medium impact?

also we could possibly argue that what else was he supposed to do besides brace for contact, as you cant tackle a bloke without the ball.

 

So it’s careless and medium impact but Whateley stated on 360 it was judged as intentional and low. Good to see everyone in the media is on the same page.

Fuggin sanitizing of this game leaves me Speechless!

Must appeal! Medium contact?? What a Friggen joke!

Who is on this MRP?

time to lawyer up.......but not richter, please

Burnside maybe?? :-)

The MRP (or whatever the chumps choose to cal it this year) has gotten off to a great start consistency wise.

Still, Mumford is important to the AFL's pet GW$$$, May plays for Melbourne, the AFL's whipping boy.  Therein lies the difference.

What game were you watching ??

Both Joeboy and MRP off to ridiculous starts for the year

3 words Joeboy

Must be kidding !!!

Christian as usual is trying to muscle his way into 2019.

Must appeal on the medium impact ruling.

I f Mummy can get off then so can Maysie.

Just for good measure:  Clayton Oliver ($1500- Striking Lyons) and Aaron vandenBerg ($3000 Stiking Neale and making contact with umpire).  

Clearly, wearing red and blue means incidents are judged more severely than others!!

Edited by Lucifer's Hero

It’s not appropriate to grade the severity based on the fact he took no further part in the game, because it’s a practice match.

he Didn’t have concussion either.

bit of a joke frankly.

  • Author

Meanwhile, May's team-mate Aaron vandenBerg was slapped with two fines totalling $3000 ($2000 for striking Lachie Neale, which was seen as intentional conduct with low impact to the body, and $1000 for making careless contact with umpire David Harris in the final quarter).

And gun Melbourne midfielder Clayton Oliver was charged with striking Brisbane onballer Jarryd Lyons and can accept a $1500 fine.


Not so old fashioned" Shirt Front" that happens a zillion times in games,

TYPICAL AFL overreaction! 

APPEAL MFC 

my patriotic mfc heart tells me to challenge the bs 

my brain tells me that he won't get off and that instead he should just cop the ban.

However, even if this specific incident is not willing of a suspension, it does not bode well that he is doing this stupid stuff in a practice match let alone what might happen in the real deal. although he is new, he should still be leading by example.  

the labrador and o'mac can hold down the backline in the meantime. 

Almost like the AFL are afraid of us 

Hmmm?

 

Christian not happy May didn't go to the Pies?

Sigh.

I hate the stupid off the ball bumps and sniping, but this was a 20-times-a-game shephard that just happend to hit awkwardly.

I don't see how a near-stationary player turning their body to receive the contact of someone running right at them (even if the opponent was just running stupidly rather than intentionally) can be a suspension offence.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
