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!!

    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

    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: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
