The one thing this article has done is clarify my understanding around May returning unfit.

May's own words:

“I came back in what I usually do if not a bit better,” May told Fox Sports News’ AFL Tonight.

“And I got to the Dees and their standards were a lot shorter: everyone had to be under certain skinfolds and time trials had to be elite.

“After that first time-trial and after the first couple of sessions I went: ‘Wow, these guys are flying, I need to get up to speed here".

“I went and saw the dietitian, saw the strength and conditioning coach, saw the coaches and put in a plan and executed that and got myself in good condition.

“That was my first pre-season (at Melbourne) that can’t happen again and certainly won’t because I’ve educated myself and the club has educated me on what’s required at the Demons"

Not sure what the hanging offence is here on May's behalf? The club obviously didn't make it clear what shape he needed to be in when he started his new job. He arrived, found out the standards, and rectified the short-coming.

    Hes in rehab for a groin injury and hasnt fired a shot at his new club where is is on huge dollars.

    Is it really that hard to understand why some supporters are [censored] off at him? 

     

    Yes it is. He’s a normal bloke like you not a robot. These guys are not superheroes in a cartoon strip.

    Lets treat footballers like men , having a beer whilst injured is no big deal.

    I’ve said in other posts I have a cousin who played at GC in same era and he was told he knew what he was doing and given no training program.

    Continued discussion, speculation, opinion, judgment on this issue is enough to drive you to drink, that's if you don't (like old Ernie), already have or had a problem with the demon drink. In my case, it was hard liquor, but drinking beer???? 

    It really is a crazy crazy world. 

    Now lets talk about the royal baby and whether Meghan is going to abscond with young Percy.

    It’s a story because we are paying 750K a year and gave up our leading goal scorer forward for a player who has been injured twice, suspended once, turned up unfit and is yet to play a full game for us.

    Yes but you were an advocate for getting rid of Hogan.

    You're appalling.

    2. May apparently presented underdone.  First, the club leaked it; and then tried to imply that Gold Coast's standards were the issue.

    Where did the club do this?

    What we should be talking about is Eddie.

    He will come out yet again and say 'Look I apologize if anyone took offense over what I said with my media/comedian/knockabout/Club president hat on". The truth is Eddie is the true Collingwood. The $### that keeps giving. Bucks and Pendles arent collingwood. The Afl is bluffed by Eddie. He gets away with it as he says the umpires were good today while all the Demons crowd asks why we didnt get the 50?

    He gets away with it the worst when he says "well i apologize if you took offense" because that gives him the right to say "You were offended by that were you? Why?"  only to put those with issue on the back foot.

    He wont say sorry, he wont give anyone, it may be Melbourne or Carlton this week, a fair go. He needs to go.

    I'm not sure if you are referring to something specific here, but I will speak about this subject generally. The apology which isn't an apology. Example- IF I offended anyone, I apologize. IF someone was offended by what I said, I apologize. NO. This is not an apology.

    An apology is when you should be saying, -  I realize what I said was offensive, and I sincerely apologize. I will try to learn from my mistake and not say these offensive things again. I will think before opening my mouth and uttering something I should already know is offensive.

    I agree with you that saying if someone took offense makes them sound like over sensitive hand wringers. The onus should be on the person with the big mouth and lack of awareness to curb their tongue.

    Excuse my rambling. Just my view on some of these apologies I have heard in the past which don't even sound like the person is truly sorry.

    Yes, I think he has been embarrassed enough. Time to let it rest.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
