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.

surely may should return in may (not june)?

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

Well, its certainly won't be April,  for May.  Lets see if he can transform,  from a June,  into  August us.?

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.

Not sure how you discuss a disaster area like May and it end any way other than depressing Cards.

OD thinking of you not seeing a flag before it all goes black is depressing. 

May, Tracc and fatty boombalaty jokes have picked me right up!

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.

All kinds of records broken.

Richmond to Casey on Monash: 22 minutes

AAMI to Royal Oak after training: 3 minutes

Whopper + fillet of fish + large fries + large thickshake: 2 min 9 sec

What is actually wrong with his groin?

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

Nothing to do with his groin they are trying to find his enthusiasm.
