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

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
