Steven May Suspended by the Club

Satan
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

 
 

The Melbourne Football Club is aware of an altercation that occurred in Prahran on Sunday evening between Steven May and Jake Melksham.

 

“Following a dinner on Sunday evening, Jake and Steven informed us of a scuffle that took place after a lighthearted disagreement between the pair escalated.

“Both Jake and Steven had been drinking at dinner and are incredibly remorseful that things played out the way they did.

“Given Steven is still under the AFL concussion protocols from Round 11, he was aware that under club guidelines he should not have been drinking.

“The leadership group has recommended to impose a one-match ban on Steven, a decision which has been endorsed by the club’s broader leadership. This will make him unavailable for both AFL and VFL selection.

    • Demonland changed the title to Steven May Suspended by the Club

    Just give the bloke a fine, not suspend him

    Hurts the team more than the player. 

    I'm all for doing the right thing off the field but would we suspend him on the eve of a GF?

    Super annoyed, but we should acknowledge the leadership from our leadership group, it would have been easy to just be like 'Oh dont do it again you are a super important player and we need you' but culture starts from the top.

    So one match for drinking while on concussion protocol, nothing for punching Melksham 😀

    Very disappointing actions from former captain Jake Melksham. He should receive a lifetime ban

    Nope, and we have two threads on the event.   Can someone merge them :)

    While its was stupid by the players, if we enforce standards it must be for all players.   Clubs rules on drinking while injured for concussion.

    Absolutely had to suspend him. Destroys culture when you don't.

    How? There was no other way punish him? None?

    Correct. It shouldn't be tolerated at all and no single player is above the club and it's culture.

    It's the one that hurts the most and impacts his team mates, no other option

    Can we give Melksham 3 weeks, and May a warning?

    Every player at the dinner had no problem with May drinking until he got caught.

    So…. They can’t exactly be emphasising the high standards.

    Given 2 of our older players were there I wouldn’t be surprised if many others in the leadership group were too.

    Jeez the media will have a field day with this. Terrible undisciplined look. WTF is going on?

    There is a four lettered word that contains the word “log” that sums up May right now.

    Seriously one dumb individual.

    Oh FFS...

    This is incredibly dumb by Steven May. If he knew about the protocols of not drinking while under the concussion rule then its stupid by him.

    Watch Mason Cox kick 5 now.

    Another reason for the media to dig their boots in...

    ...we are now giving them the ammo!

    When it rains, it pours!

     

    Not good for May, with the bye coming up he will not have played for 4 weeks.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.
