This is the biggest non story.

I have a cousin who played with May at the GC.Ā He thinks May will be a dominator for us fwiw.Ā There are teamĀ rules and common sense.

Not drinking in short term injuries for a quick turn around is fine but if you are suffering a longer injury, as long as you are not binging it makes no difference, infact it is probably good for their mental health.

i was slammed from pillar to post for saying Weid was not up to it after is break out game in the finals. He simply isnā€™t a good enough mark for his body size and has no tricks.

May is the opposite he will be a superstar.

Ā 

Going to be a superstar??? Isnt he already 27yhrs of age. Want to hurry up.

    Bring back Daniher, send all the boys on a weekend on the [censored] and let us all reload.

    Let the players let their hair down I say ... all the regimented stuff stifles creativity and flamboyance.Ā 

    We've got a list of players who can play footy now but I reckon we may well be getting caught up with the peripheral stuff.Ā 

    And people wonder why we have an illicit drugs and/or mental health issues with AFL players.Ā 

    We end up driving these young men into transgressing in private.Ā  It ends up being their preferred choice.

    Are players in long term rehab allowed to have 1 glass of red wine with a nice steak dinner at a decent restaurant?Ā  Apparently not.Ā 

    This whole silly saga is starting to amuse me Wrecker.

    Barrett: Demons' stance on May is control gone mad

    I don't fully agree with Purple, but I have some sympathy for his view.Ā  I'm probably somewhere in the middle.

    I can't stand Barrett but I'm closer to his opinion than the opposite.

    If it had been Joel Smith having the beer, not May, this story and thread wouldn't exist.Ā

    I do find it amusing that you can't verbalise what you don't like.

    Not entirely surprising.

    People love to bandy about criticisms, but when they're asked to actually articulate what they mean they can't.

    I'll move on.Ā Ā ?

    I verbalized my opinion on a piece of work quite plainly.Ā 

    You seem to be somewhere else...

    I met Tom Morris at the bar at the Light Brigade Hotel in Sydney momentsĀ before the commencement of theĀ preliminary final against West Coast last year.

    I recognised him (I thinkĀ from On The Couch), but I otherwise had no idea who he was. I was wearing a Demons scarf. He introduced himselfĀ -Ā heĀ was very friendly and heĀ said he supportedĀ the Dees. I think we both said words to the effect ā€œGo Deesā€, literally minutes before being humiliated in a packed bar of 10k West Coast supporters. It was tres ordinaire. I nearly necked myself.

    Since then, Iā€™ve come to watch Tom Morris on tv. WhileĀ I donā€™t know him from a bar of soap, I would say that heā€™s probably a relatively good natured dude, and that he likes the Dees - but heā€™s desperate to break stories even if they are kind of weak and not in the interest of the club he purportedly supports. In short, he wants to be relevant.

    Thatā€™s journalism I suppose.

    Surely this story, while not especiallyĀ flattering to Steven May, is not particularly newsworthy.

    I.e. itā€™s s*#t.

    I think Barrettā€™s article shows how out of touch he is. Barrett makes a lot of money producing crap journalism but the riches he has may have gone to his head and his sense of reason.

    If you are on $700k a year then you will do most anything that your employer says because with that kind of money comes extraordinary responsibility. Steven May agreed to follow team rules and that includes not drinking whilst recovering from injury. If he is silly enough to do it in public and he has agreed to follow team rules then he needs to cop it.

    What a strange little article from Barrett

    May is on Big Coin and is a needed player who is injured...

    he hasnā€™t been sanctioned, but now knows exactly where he stands

    Wow, we are on page 11 of this topic. I was disappointed with May, but in hindsight, learning about his personal problems and now that he has apologized for his "indiscretion" and wants to move on, I am glad he only had a few beers with a couple of mates instead of staying home alone and swallowing some pills to deal with his problems. Let's hope he gets the support he needs from Melbourne and he can get stuck into some hard work as a way to take his mind off things with his team mates around him.

    And beware of anyone with a mobile phone in their hands. They can be deadly weapons.

    Connor Rozee would be handy about now.

    May is damaged goods, has a Mitch Clark smell-esque going on.

    Except Rozee went at 5 and we had pick 6 which ended up being King, who is yet to get a game

    Melbourne players and coaches reprimanding him for having a beer I can understand;Ā Melbourne fans and AFL fans reprimanding him is depressing.

    StevenĀ  May knows what he has done, just hope that his personal problems don't affect him mentally. Not to be scrutinised now.Ā  However give him the time to prepare andĀ  hopefully plays well and for the reasons he was bought to the club.Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā Ā

    This reminds me a lot of dartgate last year. The clubā€™s message has basically been ā€œwe know youā€™re going through some stuff, weā€™re behind you, but please try not to get caught next timeā€.

    I was annoyed about this at first, but noĀ club sanction at all tells me all I need to know about how big a deal this is.

    And as always, big thumbs down to the tool who took the photo and ran to the media with it.Ā

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, itā€™s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. Itā€™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 psychologistĀ  Itā€™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 letā€™s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmedĀ 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).Ā

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Caseyā€™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 ruckmanā€™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 Demonsā€™ 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 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?
