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...

    Ā 

    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

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullartonā€™s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Caseyā€™s three matches and, with Melbourneā€™s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next weekā€™s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forwardā€™s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasnā€™t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the teamā€™s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourneā€™s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season.Ā There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight.Ā Since that game, the Demonsā€™ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where theyā€™ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ā€˜G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sundayā€™s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
