Being managed apparently, rather than injury. 

Isn't that against the "emergency rules"

[Neil Crompton 5,309]

If it’s true, good luck to Joel. I hope he goes well

Had May in my multi...

Tis a glorious day.

I was on a bikeride this morning and rode to and from (and around) the 'G.

I was telling my bike buddy (an American) that even after all these years (I'm freakin old) I still feel the buzz of the 'G on match day ... sigh ....

Yep

That siren gets you going followed by the roar of the crowd.

Currently watching the 2002 replay match Semi Final against the Crows.

Its half way through the first quarter and some Crow player called Simon Goodwin has kicked 2 goals and has about 7 touches.

This was the game I thought Travis Johnstone would become a genuine star of the competition. 

We were completely shot at the 3/4 time break.  Travis had the ball on a string, but was out on his feet.  All we had to do was hang on, and Daniher left Darren Jolly on the bench for the final quarter.  We just needed a big body at CHB to stop the marks the Crows were taking there.

Absolutely DS. Up there with Mack Daddy from the Moondog brewery.

It can go down as 'hamstring awareness' or some other vague 'injury'.

With Walker out it makes sense for May to be out and with O'Brien out we are more than well covered for talls.

I like that if players have a niggle they get a rest esp with no bye likely.

With the likelihood of no pre finals bye, they must rest a critical player this week. I suggested it should be Salem with his sore groin, perhaps May is more pressing. 
Also, very happy for another player to get an AFL game before Finals in case he’s required. 

[forever demons 2,206]

is it official may is out

[Lord Nev 13,512]

Confirmed.

If past games against lower sides (including Adelaide) are anything to go by, this will be a closer contest than some may think. That, of course,  means irrational game day posts suggesting the sky is falling in from the 1 minute mark of the first.

ah.. the old "general soreness" injury

TBH we should be fined or at least get a "please explain"

Calling it early: "We haven't shown up!!"

May

Managed

Maynaged

Maynard

It's a sign......

[Chook 14,997]

Interested to see how Joel Smith goes in May's absence, and of course desperately hoping May is right for the Geelong game and everything that comes afterwards.

[Mickey 4,469]

Readjustment my predictions now. Crows to kick 7 goals 😱

[Gawndy the Great 9,009]

We better win this. They gave PA a might go last week. If we approach this as a walk in the park we will get rolled.

AVB sub. 

[Little Goffy 13,984]

Kieran Strachan vs Max Gawn.

25 year old playing their second game in their third year on the Crows rookie list.

Tough gig but we've seen a number of times already how fringe rucks have come in and competed hard and well against Gawn. I would imagine there's a certain liberation to knowing that there's no contest for 'total quality and ability' and your only option is to do the team things and focus on having a crack.

Could be interesting.

"Didn't quite get to the line, was really close but just a little bit sore from the weekends game in Perth. Really confident that he'll be okay for the Cats next week." - Alan Richardson on Steven May

We know what AVB offers. I would have liked to have sen Bedford as the sub.

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 4,083]

Interesting if we can get some clearances today. Max should get a load of marks around the ground.
