This 'incident' has spawned so much sanctimonious claptrap here and beyond! May made a mistake, poor choice, let his guard down. I'm not going to execute him, or even ridicule him. The club will take

I don’t think I’m allowed to say because I haven’t seen any mention of it, but May had a pretty good reason to have a couple of beers (a bad thing happened to him personally)  I think everyone ju

This is the biggest non story.

I have a cousin who played with May at the GC. He thinks May will be a dominator for us fwiw. There are team 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 isn’t a good enough mark for his body size and has no tricks.

May is the opposite he will be a superstar.

 

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. 

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. 

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

We end up driving these young men into transgressing in private.  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?  Apparently not. 

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.  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.

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.  ?

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

You seem to be somewhere else...

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

I recognised him (I think from On The Couch), but I otherwise had no idea who he was. I was wearing a Demons scarf. He introduced himself - he was very friendly and he said he supported the Dees. I think we both said words to the effect “Go Dees”, literally minutes before being humiliated in a packed bar of 10k West Coast supporters. It was tres ordinaire. I nearly necked myself.

Since then, I’ve come to watch Tom Morris on tv. While I don’t know him from a bar of soap, I would say that he’s probably a relatively good natured dude, and that he likes the Dees - but he’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.

That’s journalism I suppose.

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

I.e. it’s s*#t.

I think Barrett’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 hasn’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; Melbourne fans and AFL fans reprimanding him is depressing.

Do ya think.
Purple's a [censored] who floats innuendo hoping it gains traction.

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

Who hasn't  made mistakes in life ?  Forgiven for now.

This reminds me a lot of dartgate last year. The club’s message has basically been “we know you’re going through some stuff, we’re behind you, but please try not to get caught next time”.

I was annoyed about this at first, but no 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.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
