What's the problem?  Guy has form

Once 4 years ago at this club, since then he has turned into a great leader of  the club. Some posters have gone over the top and I regards yours that way as well.

    It's definitely high time for the leaders of the club to step up, stop the bleeding and get us back on track. we've had 2 flat weeks due to injury and poor form after a 10-0 start to the week and suddenly all the wheels are falling off. 

    Queens birthday we need a statement win and nothing less. go into the bye with some momentum and the league getting a firm reminder that the MFC is still the team to beat.

    Does that include Petracca? Who is happy to whinge about fans, despite having 6 years to correct his ball drop and goal kicking, yet has done nothing about it? Case of the massive head wobbles? He is amongst the worst to do it. We owe him a lot, but his form is patchy and inconsistent. His disposal efficiency is terrible. So when can we expect the elite response from him? Will he stand back up for the big game? I mean, will it depend in whether he is happy with the level of support? Max tried to carry the entire team on his back last week. Viney has tried his guts out too. Lever has plenty of leadership left in him. ANB too....but the biggest response must come from the midfield, who have been beaten at clearances and used the ball poorly in general play. A lot of the selfishness of 2020 creeping back in. over to you...

    It's certainly been a big news day for us. People will think we are unravelling.

    Well I'm extremely angry & disappointed at May. He should have known about the concussion protocols & alcohol. 

    We desperately need him back, we have lost 2 in a row, have a massive game on queen's birthday & now he misses.its his own fault & I hope he sits there Monday & realises what an [censored] he was.

    Also why didn't the players step in & point out the alcohol, or maybe Jake did & Steven didn't like hearing that. 

    Suddenly our club is in the headlines & not for the right reasons

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

    Bit defeatist. Are we now a one man team?

    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. 

    ok someone dies so get on the [censored] ,good grief

    Concern is will the supporters get back to seeing the Demons of old again??

    Yeah, but we have all seen how important May is to the structure of the backline. Lever is playing like a C grader without May. Cannot win one-on-one and has made critical errors under pressure. It affects are entire plans in defence. It won't be the same without May.

    I'd say that Petracca was pretty selfless against Fremantle when despite feeling like S@#$ he still took the field, granted it was clearly misguided but i don't think it's fair to suggest the selfish tendancies are back, the wheels aren't off, we just need to re-set and we will be fine. 

    Honestly i don't know if it's MFCSS but if we all got offered at the start of the year to be 10-2 and a game clear on top of the ladder at the conclusion of round 12, at the start of the year, i'd suggest all supporters would take it and be thrilled. 

    Potentially it's us fans who bought into the rubbish about us going undefeated who are a little bit sour with the reality check and need to remember how young this group is, we will be down in patches, but we know our best is the best and all that really matters is that come finals we're playing our best footy.

    Agree with all of that, but I asked the question, are we a one man team?

    It will be harder, but we can win without May and if we can’t win games without him, we have serious problems.

    Is this necessary????

    There’s a five lettered word that also sums up May. H-U-M-A-N

     

    Sure and when he did it last time I gave him the benefit, like I had when he showed up unfit and spent most of that year injured and unfit.

    He has been in an AFL system for 11 years, he knows he shouldn’t be drinking, sure others might have told him too but he is a bloody adult, he knows better.

    [censored] happens. It's how the club and leadership handle it.

    In this case they are doing just fine in upholding standards.

    Oh gees. Well, the good thing about how quickly this forum turns on its players, its team and itself for being human and making mistakes is im confident they will surely flip when said humans win a few games and then get the fake "support"  back again. Lol

    I would like to see us try a replacement though. Rather than just seeing how it pans out. Turner or Daw, just to give opposition a different look

    This week could prove to be a catalyst to get back into form. The team is feeling some serious heat for the first time this year and should be out to prove a point.

    HE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO “WHINGE” ABOUT (LACK OF) FANS!

    He owes us nothing. NOTHING. We, on the other hand owe him and indeed the whole club everything. They won a freaking premiership for us ffs. Remember, a premiership? That thing that we all wanted so badly for so long? Your cavalier attitude is insufferable.

    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.

    Wouldn't be too impressed that they self reported, they were at a public place it would have gotten back to the club and they would've known that

    I'd say May's tummy isn't the only one that's full going by the past 2 weeks.

    And so should all our fans. Rock up to the G this Monday and support our team.  They did it for us last year, let’s back them in right now - when they really need us.

    The timing is not ideal but he’s got credits in the bank. AA last year and should have been AA the year before.

    He’s not the first bloke to get on the turps when he shouldn’t, and he won’t be the last. He’s been punished so I expect that to be the end of it

    I’m backing him in to be one of our best players v the Lions

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?
