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

https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-03-11/bans-for-key-demon-and-docker-fines-for-six-others

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....

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.

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...

Higgins didn't know there was a collision coming either, Burton still gets off...

I don't think May should be suspended.

Did you see the drivel I was responding to ?

Apologies, didn't scan the entire thread.

But for anyone that thinks this 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.

Higgins didnt bump him high. was a clash of heads.

May bumped his neck/chin

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.

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
