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.

    As for the person who took the photo and sent it to media outlets?

    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
