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.

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.

Lol...  I think  'GYM'  said,  watching, 'DC'...   not copying them. ?

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
