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? :(

Posted

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

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

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.

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 ?

BREAKING NEWS

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.

The person who took the pic and then shared it is a loser with a capital L.

Who the hell does that?

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
