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

    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

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
