Weak. 

A fine should have been suffice,  for that tweak the the chest.

Just because a players has priors, does not mean he is automatically guilty, accordingly. 

this decisions is carp.

    Absolute joke. [censored] AFL HQ.

    I know it's not the done thing...for Melbourne....but I'd be promoting our concerns to the media leaving nothing to misinterpretation. 

    This is what Eddy does. Good on him.

    Jeff wouldn't let this rest either.

    Do you get fined for speaking out against the AFL as player? Just curious...

    If I was suspended incorrectly I wouldn’t be towing the party line, I’d be saying ‘I now can’t play because an incorrect decision has been made. The AFL made a mistake and change needs to happen for the good of the game’ etc.

    I’m so sick of the change that’s happening to the game. The new rules are brain dead. The new 50 meter penalty rule seems like it was created by a 10 year old for backyard footy. Ughhhhhhh [censored]

    I guess the tribunal didn’t read the 12 pages of expert witness statements on this site.

    i also guess that Oscar and Frosty get another chance to redeem themselves

    Port don’t have Kennedy and Darling.  The boys will be right!!

    The AFL is a joke in all facets!

    As the MFC goes harder at the ball, this supporter site becomes softer.

    Some very cringe worthy posts here.

    The May hit was perfect.

    Urgh, Westhoff always gives us trouble too.....

    No Dixon this time around, which helps and hopefully Ryder doesn’t get up.

    This is a new paradigm - the potential to cause injury. We’re now in a new world where impact is no longer based on consequence but opinion.

    just another AFL interpretation like OOB intent. This game is so far into the grey it’s ridiculous.

    Just like when it decided to clamp down on tanking, the AFL again decide to use Melbourne “to make an example of “ for removing indirect head high contact from a player holding his ground... easy target to send a message  . I’m glad the club at least contested it 

    and mummy still got off for an intentional hit to the head ... FMD

    so who do we appeal the appeal to?

    The court of public opinion.

    Time to go to war against these dimwalts.

    And special kudos to May for putting us into this position even after the following incidents had happened:

    Preuss injures his groin. Probably out round 1

    Viney cops a corkey

    Jones cops a corkey

    VDB throws a punch

    JFK cops a 3 month injury and probably his career

    Harmes appeared to (at the time) cop a 2 month finger injury 

    Smith runs around with a sore groin probably robbing him of a round 1 gig

    Fritsch injures his hip.

    Oliver costs us the game with a stupid punch when we had momentum.

    and finally May’s 2 seconds of stupidity which will no doubt see Westhoff tear us a new one.

    There's a lesson to be learned somewhere in this saga.  I hope it's well learned.

    Must be an afl tribunal where ‘it’s the vibe’ argument carries weight.

    Cotchin did, for a worse hit that put Shiel out of a Preliminary Final.

    Seriously...it's time to take it up to these Bozos.

    Fair dinkum clubs don't take this rubbish without giving it back.

    The AFL think we're a soft target. 

  • Quote

    Yeah it's bull[censored] but let's take a positive it puts May on notice now, no doubt this won't have gone down well with the coaches or club leaders. The decision like it or not is the right one in the AFL eyes. Better that May learns he's lesson now then during the year when it could potentially be a worse scenario

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
