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.

    The two thinks in life are certain cards.

    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.

    I had a total hip replacement and was back working as a carpenter after 12 weeks.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
