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: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
