If you want to see how blessed this football club is to have a Max Gawn there as a leader, watch his presser. All class, doesn’t bite at the journalists (not sure how he controls himself, frankly), ma

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 lo

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.

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.

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.

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!!

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
