It seems everybody new that May was overweight and unfit prior to his recruitment other than our football department. Just read Demonland at the time. This has been a high order stuff up.

It is a real worry - can he ever get football fit at this stage? He has a massive challenge ahead and so does the MFC in countering its poor decision-making without complete player assessment.

    What we say on here has absolutely no effect on how the team performs so why worry about what is said.

    Clearly trying to disguise that he’s out of shape, otherwise he’d be wearing something skimpier to show off his body.

    May should be removed immediately from the Demonland banner....

    Should be removed from the club.  Walks into the club as one of our highest paid players and rocks up  to preseason a fat, unprofessional mess.

    Someone mentioned the other day there might be some angst in the playing group about how much other players are getting paid. Who can blame them, wouldnt be surprised if the whole list hates May.

    Life will go black for all of us and the MFC will remain mediocre in it's good years and crap in the rest.

    Don't worry about May, he's a free agent at the end of the year...

    In an AFL360 interview, when shown clips of our club (eg May, Jones, Goodwin) implying 'our standards' are higher than GCS, Dew replied 'players set their own standards' and named GSC players who had, implying May hadn't.

    As a co-cap May should have set the standards for himself and his team.  It seems he didn't and blaming his old club is very poor.   No matter how I look at it May has to take responsibility for himself.

    You have to wonder about our due diligence into his training, game recovery and post injury rehab behaviours.   And the thoroughness of our interviews to determine how committed he was to getting the best out of himself.  Right now it looks like a club sooo desperate that we turned a blind eye to what others could see or could easily be known.

    As an aside, 'our standards' aren't looking too good given the number of players said to have started preseason in less than desirable condition.  Pot.Kettle.Black.  GCS may well have the last laugh...laughing all the way to the bank.

    Re your last paragraph, besides May did we though or were the references to players underdone mean those who had post season opps. Max's interview stated a lot of players posted personal best times during the pre season.

    I interpreted the reports as players in general which may or may not include players with injuries/surgeries. 

    We have quite a few players who had neither and are barely average let alone playing at their best. 

    That some players posted pb's and some were unfit at start of preseason are not mutually exclusive.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
