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.

    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!!

    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

    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

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
