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.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
