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 isnā€™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 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. While 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 especially 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; 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 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 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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscrayā€™s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last weekā€™s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
