Steven May - drinking session

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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
