Is the QB match a GF?

It is for Collingwood these days!

    The Heraldsun quotes that there were up to 12 players at the dinner.

    The blame and responsibility is on May, but surely some of the other players present would have known he shouldn't have been drinking? 

    True leadership is another player at the table ensuring May didn't drink, when he may have wanted to. 

    If the altercation occurred because Melksham was having a go at May for drinking, then I have respect for Melksham.

    Can't remember the last time I had dinner with friends and got into a fight after it 

    Clearly not drinking enough

    Hard to know who else was at the dinner. I don’t expect Bowey to tell May not to drink. If Melksham was the only other senior player there and told him to stop drinking or not to have more than one beer say, and May took offense than that explains the “altercation”. Either way it’s a bad look for the club and it has cost May and us.

    Yep, and interested as to whether Gawn was there tbh.

    Viney wasn't, and he absolutely tore shreds off the playing group when they all met about it. Goody did also, apparently absolutely lost it, but more about the incident rather than directly at players.

    Seems everyone wants to get a room with him when he’s killing it on the field. One slip and he’s thrown outta the room and is left to pay the hotel bill. 
    EASE UP ffs

    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. 

    You're drawing big assumptions for having almost no information. You don't know what was going on in the minds of the any other player that was attending the dinner. 

    Easy to comment from the external and honestly insignificant as well.

    It's 2022. Someone will be in possession of a phone that has the "scuffle" on video. Lets see if Mick Warner really does have the inside info on the Dees.

    He is a leader of the club. He is 29. He is handsomely paid. He is one of our most important players coming off a concussion as we face 2 losses. There is literally no excuse for his behavior. 
    I love him and I won’t hold it against him, and yes everyone makes mistakes, but the club and the supporters have every right to be furious about it. 
    We can hardly afford to have him out for another week. His action might have cost us 4 points which could be the difference between a home final or a double chance come the end of the year. 
    Big big consequences.

    I think we need to wait on some facts first before we start pointing the finer or false praising people.

    As we know know both boys were drinking and have had a disagreement over a light-hearted moment.

    I don't think that light hearted moment was Melksham telling May to stop drinking..

    Club in its first mini crises for quite a while. Tmac down, Bartlett headlines, 2 losses in a row, May gets club suspension. 

    If they lose on Monday this goes from being a mini crises to a full blown  one. Club officially now in a stress  test…that could get much worse. let’s see what they’ve got.

    If we lose a close one against the Pies then May's absence will almost certainly be a contributing factor

    And that would make it 3 losses in a row with Brisbane up next

    The Pies would be looking on with glee

    A suspended sentence, a heavy fine and lots of community service should have been the outcome

    Trouble is that the PA have been able to cap the fines at $5k

    So a $15k - $20k would really hurt May but that sort of figure can't be enforced

    I was deep down hoping that Binman was going to be wrong when he said we would most likely lose to the ferals because of loading, but wow, looking more and more likely now.

    Still of course going to go to the game and hope like hell that we can pull it off.

    This disaster along with the crap being written in the Feral Hun can only incentivise the playing group. I have a lot of faith in our team culture, which I know sounds a bit ironic right now.  Fingers crossed.

    May gets the suspension for drinking while injured which is a big no, no.  It was a repeat offence.  No option but to suspend him.

    "Steven and Jake will also complete community service through one of the club's community partners to ensure they understand the responsibility and impact they have as role models within the community".

    Penalties look appropriate.

    It’s the insulting NAME-CALLING that pisses me off. You’ve made your point without stooping to that low. I only wish others would as well. 
    Yes, emotions are heightened but there’s no excuse for childish slurs. 


    Incidentally, you say, “there’s literally no excuse for his behaviour.” You simply cannot say that as an undeniable fact. The only fact here is, YOU DON’T KNOW. YOU WEREN’T THERE.

    With everything that is happening right now I cannot stress how important it is for all of us who can, to get to the G next Monday to show support for our team.  They need it and deserve it.

    All we need now is for the 5 second video of Hunt and Brayshaw having what looked like grumpy words in the Syd game, for the media to really go to town and declare: the wheels have fallen off!!

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
