I wouldn't begrudge anyone a beer, but sadly, Steven May comes across to me as a mug.  What were the picks we gave up for May and Lever used for? :(

 

Not confirmed, but I think he may have split up with his missus. What is a reasonable response in that scenario?

 

At least he isn’t dragging 2 or 3 others with him - as far as we can tell.

Celebrate or commiserate.

Either way, a beer or 2 isnt exactly the end of the world.


Even if the pic was sent to Morris by a non-mfc person, he still has a person inside mfc who has told him about the apology meeting in advance and even before many/most players knew what the meeting was about.

Whoever it is inside mfc that continues to feed this creep info so he can smear our name from pillar to post, needs to be brought in and read the riot act. 

We don't need people inside our club contributing to sensationalist reporting.

Morris writing this really annoys me:  "When contacted, Melbourne could not rule out either a player-led or club enforced punishment for the former Gold Coast captain".

More likely:

TM:  Will May be sanctioned?

MFC: No comment

Suddenly he has an angle about possible club sanctions!

And, if as noted in an earlier post, people in the media know that May is going thru a torrid personal time and not acknowledging that in the article is really low.  He has dredged up all his recent past with us, made a big story out of it without regard for May's welfare.

And, I wish someone would wipe the smug look he had on OTC while reporting this off his face. 

All in all, he gives 'gutter journalism' a new low.

Wonderful work JD.... we can now see how he's using his $800k so wisely!

Mods there's your banner!  Get on it.

People keep talking about rehab and recovery, but from what I understand he's recovered.  He's running freely at training and looking very good.  

I suspect he's now just getting the k's in as he builds up the required fitness.

People love being outraged, so I suppose this is good fodder for them.

Btw, I fail to see what Morris has done wrong.  He's a journalist trying to get a story ahead of everyone else, or at least be at the pointy end of a story.  If May is going to apologise to the playing group then there is a story, however minor I may think it is.  Maybe someone can explain to me what Morris has actually done wrong in this instance ?

Aussie bloke has a couple of beers over a few hours at the pub before leaving at 6pm; the perpetually offended are outraged (and offended).

Clearly O Mac’s fault for not stepping in front of Mr 5 minute hero and blocking the photo. I’m sure other members of the public recognised May and decided not to pull a phone out.

His head is disproportionately much larger than his body for starters. 

More seriously, people feel aggrieved that he’s a supposed Melbourne fan but when you muck rake at every opportunity about the club you are meant to ‘support’ it get a little tiring. It was only a few weeks ago he stirred up the old McCartney is disliked chestnut. 

If you were a true Melbourne supporter, your journalistic licence shouldn’t be a green light to cause media shitstorms like this muppet does. 

Gee some people are being a bit rough on Morris. He is paid to report news and he has done this. And yes, this is news, purely due to the fact that May arrived at the club not within the conditioning expected. May would be disappointed, club would be disappointed and so should the supporters. 

Let's get him fit, give him support and get him back playing good footy.

As for Morris, whether you like him or the news he reports, he has done what has been asked of him from his employer.

This. I’ve raised this before with no satisfactory response. He looks like one of those bobble head things one puts on the dashboard of their car. Or a Thunderbird.

If you are referring to my posts, the issues I have are:

  • that someone from the club is giving him info.
  • his reporting was slanted to reflect poorly on May, leaving no room for possible extenuating circumstances and he was quite smug in the process.  

I have never met him so don't like or dislike him.  But I certainly do not like how he goes about his work.

We've had our moments on here, but I know you're not stupid.

Who Morris supports should have nothing (and I mean literally zero) to do with his work content or reporting of ''news''. 

If Morris was prepared to compromise his journalistic content based upon who he grew up supporting he should look for a new career.  

I'm staggered people think otherwise.  Actually, no, I'm not.

Obviously the first point isn't a concern re Morris.

So that leaves the second point.  Please quote the exact words, phrase, or sentence that particularly annoyed or offended you.

Agree. I understand if supporters are frustrated with May, but I’m more outraged about what seems like common practice these days. 

The photo snapper and May are at the pub for the same reasons, yet one wants to make the other person’s business known to everyone, but that’s just me traccattack.

Not at all.

To say “he is just doing his job” is a cop out. He’s not living in abject poverty and forced into this life. It is his chosen profession and he embraces it with vigour. He has made a lifestyle choice to be a parasite for his own glory, financial gain, or satisfaction. He’s allowed to, but he’s a [censored] bloke for doing it.

Post #106 indicates someone giving Morris info is an mfc issue.

Post #107 shows what Morris didn't say as well as what he did say that imv makes his reporting slanted to reflect poorly on May.

I don't get what is parasitic about it... People in this town crave AFL news and he is one of many who captures the stories.. Don't blame him for May being unprofessional.

  • 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.
