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


Unbelievable and suggest his tummy is full after winning a flag, they say handling success is more difficult than handling no success!

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

Edited by Kick_It_To_Pickett

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

🤔 never noticed that happen before. Except for every single time it happens.

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: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
