Having suffered concussion a couple of times playing, you do learn that it is easy to do your narna in the week afterwards. I wonder why Jake gets off without penalty?

    Possibly should be, but we may have to send you before the panel as well, for using a ‘fake word’ in place of ‘egregious’ 🤣.

    'Aggegious' = Adj. When one egregious circumstance is looking like turning into a series of very unfortunate occurrences; ongoing, aggregating egregiousnesses; see Melbourne Demons season 2022 in-between rounds 12 and 13.

    Gutted, very very gutted. A stupid thing to do under the protocol. The team will be severely impacted now.

    But right at the bottom of all my disappointment I see a very ballsy decision that successful organisations make. You aren't bigger than the team and whether you are the best or worst player on the lost you will be punished. If it hurts the team then that is May's fault.

    A neologism adjective, meaning wicked and aggressive.

    They both have to do community work to atone there mis step.. 

    May gets the added penalty of a suspension because he was drinking while injured which is a big no, no.

    To keep a culture strong, you have to be impartial when it comes to addressing slip ups.  The personalities and short-term affects can't come into it or the whole thing erodes away.  Yes, it sucks not having May this week, and who knows, it might cost us a win, but from a long term perspective, it it the right call without a doubt.

    This bye week we need the whole club to return to our lockdown hub and have a long chat about whether they're serious about their intentions this year or whether they're content for 2021 to be a flash in the pan

    I hope the media digs in. It give us something to fight for, something to prove again. 

    Adversity has brought the best out of us before, may it do so again.

    I initially thought it was Clayton Oliver who was suspended when afl.com.au went with the headline "Gun Dee suspended" and Oliver was in the photo next to May.

    The big news here isn't even that he was drinking and that they had a scuffle.

    It was that they immediately self reported and the club was pretty swift in deciding action.

    It shows strong leadership and self-awareness. A blip on the radar.

    Dees by 8 goals.

      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. 

    ….and make sure that he stretches his hammies real well before he gets on the field!

    I think something like this will happen regardless of the result next week. Reality is we all thought the team were in 1st gear / 2nd  gear for the start of the season and expected them to step it up when the challengers came. But, they've engaged the clutch and stalled the call.

    Was just speaking to someone who's well connected down there. 

    Steven May's cousin, who he was close with passed away only last week which has completely shocked his family.

    This probably explains why he was on the drink.

    That is incredibly sad news. However dealing with grief through alcohol is a bad idea at the best of times. 
    There are a lot better options available.

    Think you'll find that Steven May's way of dealing with grief is to turn to the grog. 

    His last indiscretion was because of a relationship break down with his ex who'd moved down from the Gold Coast with him.

    Thanks Daz, context matters deeply.  - There should be a 'care' emoticon like FB on here... rather than the face palm one.

    So presumably Melksham et al who were there, were well aware of this context, actually being quite supportive given the context...and then a bit of gravy was flicked and it all got emotional.

    Because of May we have lost this game. If we play Tomlinson it’s game over hopefully we can debut Turner

    Which is a big worry and something the club needs to help him with.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
