    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. 

    What excuse is there for May, who was previously punished for drinking while injured, to be drinking while he was recovering from concussion? He is not 19. He is a leader of our club and he should know better. Doing it in public in front of his teammates is just extra silly.

    He is a phenomenal footballer who we have missed dearly. The last two weeks he has been out through no fault of his own. This week he has cost the side through his own dumb actions. Really hard to justify for mine.

     

    Edit: I completely agree that name calling is uncalled for BTW.

    Very bloody disappointed in May. He is a leader at our club and has let the whole team and us supporters down (and it’s not the first time). 

    Hopefully he makes the changes he needs to do so this doesn’t happen again. He is too important to our team.  Now he will have 3 weeks off as we have the bye after the collywobbles game so hopefully he is raring to go after that.

    Is the drinking whilst concussed really a thing though? He’s 8 days post concussion, he would’ve played on the Saturday a couple of years ago.

    Getting drunk enough to fight a team mate - even with a 8 day break between games - is the real issue. 

    Our bye week being so short and possibly removing the chance for the boys to have a proper sess next week might be partly to blame here

    I don’t know. I WASN’T THERE. 
     

    I’m by NO means justifying it. I just think knee-jerking in the form of name-calling is totes unwarranted and serves ZERO purpose. 
     

    Edit: just read your edit re the name-calling. Thank you for acknowledging.

    What if he was at a table with Bowey, Rivers, Jackson, Kosi and I dunno Bedford.

    How is it their responsibility to tell a player 10 years their senior, who is a leader of the club, to stop drinking? 

    Lets not drag other players into this without actually knowing who was there. I doubt he was sitting between Viney and Lever sinking beers.

    New headline … optimistic view

    “Steven May is taking 3 weeks off to fully recover from concussion protocols”. 🤣

    “Dees want May to be fully recovered before the big clash with the Lions.”🤣

    Yeah fair point.

    People will have their opinions with or without the facts, I really don’t care. 

    But after 2 losses and a lot of negativity around the team’s performance, it’s just so disappointing that May will not be playing next week. Such an important player to the team’s structure and toughness. 

    Bloody disappointing that’s all.

    Just remember that what the MEDIA report and what actually happens are generally not the same. 

    Hope we get the facts but not holding my breath.

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

    The club was going to suspend May for 2 games for drinking under concussion protocols, but reduced it to one on learning that he’d actually landed one on Melksham.

    Also, there was a recent Age article discussing research from Monash Uni, and it was suggested players should have a 28 day break from contact sport after a concussion. I just see Steven May as being at the forefront of medical science.

    The "scuffle" consisted of "flicked gravy" and "May tipped over Melksham's chips"... 🤪

    WTF

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

    Pretty sure drinking is verboten and consequence is game ban. If you don't follow through, no-one takes it seriously and culture of high standards and selflessness starts to unravel.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
