Judged to be careless conduct and medium impact to the head.

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

Furthermore, Brisbane chose not to bring him back on as a precaution not because he was out to it. This decision stinks big time.

Come on 'bub'...the Brisbane player wasn't negligent, he just didn't expect May to be so stupid.

It was a dumb act, a bit of a brain fade.

...but as 'Gonzo' said, minimal impact. A fine and move on.

Come on Rjay..the lion [censored] wasn't even looking where he was going !!

 

We've been accused of bruise free footy

Time for the club to establish [censored] free footy.

Time to send a message to Gill's dills ESP that f!0g Christian we won't accept this kind of rubbish anymore !!

There was nothing smart about that bump.

The area above the shoulders not just the head is protected if an earlier poster is correct and to me that sounds logical.

If there is doubt the club will appeal

It was not a bump. May stood his ground, braced himself for contact when the dumbass Brisbane player ran into him. A bump is when you move towards someone with the intention of connecting. May stood his ground....

I wonder what ‘look’ Christian considered when Mitchell elbowed Goldstein in the back of the head 100 metres away from  the ball last year?

Christian has a bad case of 'selective criteria'...


Nothing in it. The watering down of our great game continues. 

Tough one for MFC - our backline is better with him there, and we could probably account for Port without him. Do we really want risk not having him available to match up on Hawkins in R2? Hawkins has a track record of belting anyone else we could put on him.

You mean the first point of contact was to May's shoulder 

I plan on making this my last post re this matter, as it's not a big enough issue to warrant too much time wasting.

Your post is drivel.

I don't know if you've ever played football, but one player knew there was a collision coming and the other didn't. 

 

Apparently we have till 11am to make a decision re: challenging the one match ban, so expect some news in the next 20 minutes or so.

Ryan Burton gets off for his hit on Shaun Higgins. Cosmetic surgery required, concussion

Steven May gets one week, no concussion, player walks off, no surgery.

Makes sense...

Why are you quoting me ?

Higgins didn't know there was a collision coming either, Burton still gets off...

I don't think May should be suspended.

Did you see the drivel I was responding to ?

Edited by ProDee


Mitch Cleary reporting that he expects the club will challenge, on the premise of downgrading the "medium impact". And so they should!

Apologies, didn't scan the entire thread.

But for anyone that thinks May deserves a week:

Well seems pretty simple to me, show this vid at the appeal, cant really see this is fine if May is a week. 

 

Pretty happy to see the uproar from oppo supporters about how terrible this suspension is. Proves its not just my red and blue glasses. 

So Munford smacks his opponent in the face with his foreman , deliberate action.

Gets off his ban and May who stood his ground and his opponent 'throws' himself backwards gets a week.

Our game is in such good hands, we never know what decision is about to occur when the umpire blows his whistle and now  we can guess work Christian's interpretations. How is it possible to suggest that Munford's action was of less force than May's ?

The game is 'in such good hands!'  yeah right!

the mumford decision was a disgrace.  AFL come out and say they want to outlaw the punch and then clear a blatent punch to the face.

Higgins didnt bump him high. was a clash of heads.

May bumped his neck/chin

Bulldust. Watch it in real time: may stood his ground and turned at the last second to avoid being injured himself. Berry ran into him. Like I keep saying, watch the bloody thing in real time: may had a split second to decide what to do. To step out of the way was NOT  an AFL FOOTBALLER'S OPTION.

Who the hell is this guy? Whatever.. he says we’re challenging so I like him. 

 

 

If he comes out and says Gil has been given the [censored], it will almost turn to love my end RD

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
