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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
