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

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

Furthermore, Brisbane chose not to bring him back on as a precaution not because he was out to it. This decision stinks big time.

    Come on 'bub'...the Brisbane player wasn't negligent, he just didn't expect May to be so stupid.

    It was a dumb act, a bit of a brain fade.

    ...but as 'Gonzo' said, minimal impact. A fine and move on.

    Come on Rjay..the lion [censored] wasn't even looking where he was going !!

    There was nothing smart about that bump.

    The area above the shoulders not just the head is protected if an earlier poster is correct and to me that sounds logical.

    If there is doubt the club will appeal

    It was not a bump. May stood his ground, braced himself for contact when the dumbass Brisbane player ran into him. A bump is when you move towards someone with the intention of connecting. May stood his ground....

    I wonder what ‘look’ Christian considered when Mitchell elbowed Goldstein in the back of the head 100 metres away from  the ball last year?

    Christian has a bad case of 'selective criteria'...

    Nothing in it. The watering down of our great game continues. 

    Tough one for MFC - our backline is better with him there, and we could probably account for Port without him. Do we really want risk not having him available to match up on Hawkins in R2? Hawkins has a track record of belting anyone else we could put on him.

    You mean the first point of contact was to May's shoulder 

    I plan on making this my last post re this matter, as it's not a big enough issue to warrant too much time wasting.

    Your post is drivel.

    I don't know if you've ever played football, but one player knew there was a collision coming and the other didn't.

    Apparently we have till 11am to make a decision re: challenging the one match ban, so expect some news in the next 20 minutes or so.

    Ryan Burton gets off for his hit on Shaun Higgins. Cosmetic surgery required, concussion

    Steven May gets one week, no concussion, player walks off, no surgery.

    Makes sense...

    I don't think May should be suspended.

    Did you see the drivel I was responding to ?

    Mitch Cleary reporting that he expects the club will challenge, on the premise of downgrading the "medium impact". And so they should!

    Apologies, didn't scan the entire thread.

    But for anyone that thinks May deserves a week:

    Well seems pretty simple to me, show this vid at the appeal, cant really see this is fine if May is a week. 

     

    Pretty happy to see the uproar from oppo supporters about how terrible this suspension is. Proves its not just my red and blue glasses.

    So Munford smacks his opponent in the face with his foreman , deliberate action.

    Gets off his ban and May who stood his ground and his opponent 'throws' himself backwards gets a week.

    Our game is in such good hands, we never know what decision is about to occur when the umpire blows his whistle and now  we can guess work Christian's interpretations. How is it possible to suggest that Munford's action was of less force than May's ?

    The game is 'in such good hands!'  yeah right!

    the mumford decision was a disgrace.  AFL come out and say they want to outlaw the punch and then clear a blatent punch to the face.

    Bulldust. Watch it in real time: may stood his ground and turned at the last second to avoid being injured himself. Berry ran into him. Like I keep saying, watch the bloody thing in real time: may had a split second to decide what to do. To step out of the way was NOT  an AFL FOOTBALLER'S OPTION.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
