    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
