What’s done is done, it’s easy, don’t listen to the media until next week when hopefully they’ll be talking about a great win a huge crowd & we can all move on

Boys will be boys unfortunately some a dumber than others

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

    Where has it been mentioned he was drunk?

    I like your optimism Billy, but the last month has the smell of something amiss which was not there last year. Get on the Pies this weekend we are not a happy group with a terrible forward line.

    Is it a reasonable defence that May’s judgment was impaired as he is still suffering the effects of a concussion..?

    Sober team mates seldom fight on a public street dd. In fact happy team mates seldom fight.

    I’d imagine May is frustrated because he has been forced out of 2 matches with a concussion, and Melksham is unhappy that his career is at the precipice with one foot dangling over the edge.

    Standards won us a flag. We can't afford to let them slip.

      Let him stew for the next three weeks until he can play again. Will only make the team stronger.  And if we lose this week let him take responsibility for it. His next game we be against the Lions and he owes us.

    What an amazing stupid and selfish act by May, a 30 year old who consistently makes decisions befitting a 19 year old. And ditto for any experienced teammates who stood idly by whilst he was breaking team rules.

    Goodwin needs to take charge of this team before the season falls completely off the rails. There are so many signs that this group isn't prepared to do the right things on or off the field that are necessary to challenge for a premiership this year.

    Would you have concluded the same if we had maintained the lead the other night, despite the absence of May? It was a narrow loss. Yeah the forward line was an issue, but we should have put that game to bed...Same thing can be said of 1st half vs Freo. 

     

    2 weeks ago we were been talked up as invisibles. The media is waiting and hoping that we fail, coz they can't write their usual stories. It's already started. 'NO crowds" "Up at the snow" "internal fighting" blah blah. We, along with the Dogs, are the only teams who have increased the Average Home Attendance from 2019 (year prior to Covid). Where is that story? Why are crowds down across 16 other clubs?

    The game isn't as good to watch and people during covid have discovered watching from home is cheaper and easier.

    I think many have underestimated the Kayo impact. For around $10 a week most have had every match piped to their lounge room in complete comfort. Foxtel cable was for the few but streaming was another story.

    Add in covid and the AFL bungling the spontaneity factor with its tcketing fiasco and is it any wonder crowds are down

    May was clearly happy to allow his selfishness to compromise our team, our Club and its members and supporters.  I'm disappointed and very annoyed.  A leader(?) ............ no way!

    any consumption of alcohol in the context of a brain impacted by concussion is absolutely contraindicated - one could say a " no brainer" Especially in an athlete involved in high impact sport. He must know this with all the input given by medical staff. Breath taking stupidity.

    I'm but a sample of one.

    I did turn up to the Freo game, via a 1.5 hour bus ride...it was nice, but not doable fortnightly, kids sports on the following morning...etc

    Kayo makes it easy as pie.

    8.5% beers in the Fridge - at AFL mid strength prices.

    Tasty and knocked out cold circa 1030 pm, without the drive home.

    Anyway, AFL and  clubs are well aware of the drop off. And that revenue needs to be attained aside from gate receipts. As well as 'memberships' to allow you greater value for money, beyond having to turn up.

    But we didn't. The winner is determined at the end of the fourth quarter not at half time.

    live pictures of Steven May right now 

    he must be regretting his actions big time 

    I have been a huge fan but drinking whilst under concussion protocols and then having a fight is beyond my comprehension 

    but premierships are won in September and he must pick himself up and know he owes his club and his teammates and us supporters

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
