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

That’s a great point .... I often wonder if that’s one of our players in the same predicament in the next couple of years whether we would be afforded the same level of leniency.... with a grand final on the line 

barry hall in 2005 , Aaron Hamill 1999 and Cotchin in2017

Take it to the appeals board, get some adjudicators without an agenda to deliberate whether it was suspension worthy.

An unjust outcome IMHO, but nevertheless, May shouldn't have put himself or the club in this position. Hope the club however kicks up a huge stink this year whenever similar incidents are swept under the carpet (and they will be).

If i wasn't a Dees supporter, i'd have no interest in the AFL. Outside of the MFC, i have no interest in it anymore.

Local footy is soooooooooooo much more enjoyable without all the bureaucracy (though that's now starting to seep in at the grassroots level too, thanks to the AFL's incompetence). Local clubs and leagues are struggling more than ever, but let's just paint over the cracks by wasting time and money in AFLX. FMD.

Don’t crunch people unnecessarily after they’ve given off the ball.

Yeah because depending who you are and which club you play for you might get awarded a free kick and score a goal.

The tribunal is a joke. The MRP is a joke. Steven May doing something borderline suspendable in a praccy match is a joke.

Gotta agree Jaded. May shouldn't have put himself in this situation in the first place. All it's done is remind us all how inept the current power-brokers are, which just leads to frustration.

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

Why?

May did nothing wrong. After years of being called soft and bruise free, we now have hard hitters and snipers to enjoy. It's a contact sport. I would rather Melbourne play on or above the line than below it.

He clearly did do something wrong otherwise he wouldn't have been suspended. I don't agree with it but like I orginally said the AFL has in their eyes made the right call, we all can disagree with it but the end of the day May has got a week suspension... I personally would much prefer he doesn't do it & miss weeks than "play on or above the line" I think our contested style of footy speaks for itself, we don't need incidents like the weekend to be branded "tough"

Did you complete year 1? It’s “his” lesson not “he’s”.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    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.
