This is the biggest non story.

I have a cousin who played with May at the GC.Ā He thinks May will be a dominator for us fwiw.Ā There are teamĀ 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.

Ā 

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.Ā 

    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.Ā 

    And people wonder why we have an illicit drugs and/or mental health issues with AFL players.Ā 

    We end up driving these young men into transgressing in private.Ā  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?Ā  Apparently not.Ā 

    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.Ā  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.Ā

    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.Ā Ā ?

    I verbalized my opinion on a piece of work quite plainly.Ā 

    You seem to be somewhere else...

    Ā 

    I met Tom Morris at the bar at the Light Brigade Hotel in Sydney momentsĀ before the commencement of theĀ preliminary final against West Coast last year.

    I recognised him (I thinkĀ from On The Couch), but I otherwise had no idea who he was. I was wearing a Demons scarf. He introduced himselfĀ -Ā heĀ was very friendly and heĀ said he supportedĀ 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. WhileĀ 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 especiallyĀ 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;Ā Melbourne fans and AFL fans reprimanding him is depressing.

    StevenĀ  May knows what he has done, just hope that his personal problems don't affect him mentally. Not to be scrutinised now.Ā  However give him the time to prepare andĀ  hopefully plays well and for the reasons he was bought to the club.Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā Ā

    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 noĀ 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.Ā

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. Itā€™s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this yearā€™s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.Ā  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.Ā

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old sideā€”the Tigersā€”coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking?Ā I mean by ā€œtheyā€ the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.Itā€™s no secret that the Demonsā€™ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack.Ā Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryanā€™s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winningĀ 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
