I'm extremely disappointed in the poor discipline shown by May (which is not unusual for him).  Regardless of whether the decision is right or wrong, he should never have put himself in that position.  It wasn't a show of strength, but rather a show of stupidity, which is likely to cost the team.  Grrr.

The opposition player was not watching where he was going. I think May probably thought that the player would look up and avoid May - but he didn't till it was too late.

Mind you, if May missed his chin and only collected as far up as his upper chest, the players chin would have gone forward initially, then back. If he struck the chin at all the head would have gone back straight away. judge for yourselves

But "Berry walked off the ground unassisted and was not concussedSo how is it 'medium impact'?  Must appeal on that alone!!

Spot on.  If it's medium impact then you would expect him to have some sort of concussion, blood nose etc.  He didn't.  He walked off the ground and, being a JLT game, kept him off as a precaution.  I'm hoping they challenge as I think they have a chance of winning it.

Agree.

Seriously though, if that's medium impact to the head, then every single high tackle should be considered extreme contact and we would be left with no players.

I think the neck is considered high though isn't it? Mays shoulder goes right in under his chin into his neck. but if there's no injury to the neck could you say it was medium impact?

also we could possibly argue that what else was he supposed to do besides brace for contact, as you cant tackle a bloke without the ball.

So it’s careless and medium impact but Whateley stated on 360 it was judged as intentional and low. Good to see everyone in the media is on the same page.

Fuggin sanitizing of this game leaves me Speechless!

Must appeal! Medium contact?? What a Friggen joke!

time to lawyer up.......but not richter, please

Burnside maybe?? :-)

The MRP (or whatever the chumps choose to cal it this year) has gotten off to a great start consistency wise.

Still, Mumford is important to the AFL's pet GW$$$, May plays for Melbourne, the AFL's whipping boy.  Therein lies the difference.

Just for good measure:  Clayton Oliver ($1500- Striking Lyons) and Aaron vandenBerg ($3000 Stiking Neale and making contact with umpire).  

Clearly, wearing red and blue means incidents are judged more severely than others!!

It’s not appropriate to grade the severity based on the fact he took no further part in the game, because it’s a practice match.

he Didn’t have concussion either.

bit of a joke frankly.

Meanwhile, May's team-mate Aaron vandenBerg was slapped with two fines totalling $3000 ($2000 for striking Lachie Neale, which was seen as intentional conduct with low impact to the body, and $1000 for making careless contact with umpire David Harris in the final quarter).

And gun Melbourne midfielder Clayton Oliver was charged with striking Brisbane onballer Jarryd Lyons and can accept a $1500 fine.

Not so old fashioned" Shirt Front" that happens a zillion times in games,

TYPICAL AFL overreaction!

my patriotic mfc heart tells me to challenge the bs 

my brain tells me that he won't get off and that instead he should just cop the ban.

However, even if this specific incident is not willing of a suspension, it does not bode well that he is doing this stupid stuff in a practice match let alone what might happen in the real deal. although he is new, he should still be leading by example.  

the labrador and o'mac can hold down the backline in the meantime.

Sigh.

I hate the stupid off the ball bumps and sniping, but this was a 20-times-a-game shephard that just happend to hit awkwardly.

I don't see how a near-stationary player turning their body to receive the contact of someone running right at them (even if the opponent was just running stupidly rather than intentionally) can be a suspension offence.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
