I'm outraged.

This needs to be added to the fire everyone thread

What a joke fancy drinking a beer without a pie !  Which game was he at?   Fair go!

It sounds like it’s been blown massively out of proportion, but it’s frustrating nonetheless, given the recent history. It’s all the little things that are adding up - his tab with his teammates is growing. 

Nash you probably didnt see my post from the "Lewis is cooked...." thread on Sat after the match against the Hawks.  Here is the end bit...

P.S.  Jordy should be on the D'land banner ....in place of May who's done zip for this club so far (assuming that IS May in the middle).

If i may mention one other key difference between  Jordy and May that should see Jordy replace May on the banner...

4 time Premiership player, Club B&F 2014, All Australian 2014 ... and...

CHARACTER

Edited May 6, 20195 yr by Rusty Nails

Player has a few drinks on a Sunday arvo, leaves before 6pm and isn't drunk.  Clearly May is more Forest Gump than Albert Einstein 9given his circumstances) but this is ambulance chasing [censored] of the highest order by who ever he is. 

About time there was something else to be outraged about.

Far too much positivity over the last two days.

Dont remember Jack getting suspended too often... haha

... essentially why Watts is no longer with us.

His time at the center of our banner is ticking i would suggest......hope the big fella can turn it all around when he gets back on the field.

I believe the club is also looking into whether he stopped for a souva on the way home.

NoBody... No Player should get onto the Banner.  Until he/she has thoroughly deserved it,  with the Melbourne footy club.

... doesn't matter what they've done,  or haven't done,  elsewhere.

Lamb and chicken, extra meat, with garlic sauce, chilli sauce, no tomato is the rumour. 

‘Drinking related incident’ what was the incident? Horrible reporting. 

Footy player has a few beers on a Sunday. 

Move on. Nothing to see here

Another straw on the camel's back that is the recruiting department...

I don't want to tick the 'like' icon as a poster comment, but I do think that this is a question worth an answer. The complete scan of a potential recruit has often been in order for the MFC - and paying customers would be happy to pick up the bill. As it is, we're paying and remorseful about the transfer fees, the ongoing wages and the loss of team form/momentum. That is not why I buy annual memberships.

Well we did want the club to recruit a gorilla...

Disappointing either way.

Yes I agree with you. Should he watching his teammates play on a Sunday afternoon watching Casey Demons

Having a few pints on a Sunday afternoon (reportedly between 2 and 6) seems a non issue to me, but if he feels the need to apologise to the playing group then he’s obviously not met an internal expectation. That’s the issue, not the drinking itself.

As we sit here right now, he’s a bust. He needs to work upwards from there.

Yeah i actually didn't even think of that..

Well, what can I say. We learned something today. He's not the Messiah, he's just a naughty boy. 

And I agree with DubDee. What was the drinking related incident? That phrase made it sound like he got arrested, bashed someone or drove a car while drunk. Sensationalist reporting.

But I am still disappointed in May for drinking while doing rehab.

Why would he go watch his teammates play at Casey.  He doesnt care about footy or the club.

So in Rehab, turned up Pre Season UNFIT, and now Glug Glugging when in REHAB.

Can we TEAR up his deal???

If TRUE?? serious serious questions remain!

750 Gs for this bloke SERIOUSLY??

Over and out IMV!

This must be pushing his sunset clause with the MFC. Three strikes ... out. Surely. He is being paid to do something else for the Club. At least three times more than our best medical doctor.

I thought injured players were not allowed to drink as it can affect their recovery and it was a club rule. 

Given his start to his MFC career it was dumb.

I think it’s just really poor form to sink 3-4 pints when you’re off injured and had skin fold issues. It shows a lack of respect to what the rest of the footy club is trying to do.

Correct Redleg. He is dumb. Most sports people in whatever sport they play will confirm that drinking does not assist in recovery of soft tissue or torn muscle injuries one little bit. One may even suspect that his prolonged absence from what was initially a couple of weeks out may have been attributed to not adhering to the rule to keep off the P when injured .

He must be a Messiah. Like every Messiah for the past 2000 years has proven to be a fake.

Apparently it's not a club rule per se, but obviously discretion is advised.

Roos carried on like a pork chop saying footy is ''clearly not his no.1 priority'', but for me that's way over the top.  

Surely a player who's now moving very well according to an interview with Lever can have a few jars on a Sunday afternoon.  The carry on over nothing is extraordinary these days.
