And poor Petty has to play yet another week while being held together by sticky tape. 
Selfish behavior that is costing the team and his teammates.

    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. 
     

     

    Dr. Phil (yes, I’m quoting Dr. Phil) says it takes a thousand “atta boys” to negate a single “you’re no good.” Seems Maysie is being Dr. Phil’d right here.

    Certainly not ideal preparation for QB.

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

    The funny thing here is there is a common element at play. Namely, its really hard to get people to change after a certain age.   Petracca will always be a slightly unreliable kick, May will always be keen to sneak in a cheeky pint if he can, "fans"  will also be quick to jump on their players and yes, i will be always be bemoaning it.   

    I get it, but heck its just depressing to read. Support really matters when you screw up in life not when you are flying i reckon.

    Some players choose not to drink even when there’s a 7 day plus break.

    If we played the Pies on Friday night - none of them would be out drinking over the weekend…sadly the long break caused this fiasco not to mention weak judgement.

    Collingwood by 28 points.

    Good. 

    We are pretenders if we are incapable of winning without one player. Players and or strategy need to adapt.

    Right call by the club. 

    Im with you spaghetti.  Are we any good?

    Not the end of the world.  We just gotta keep fighting (not each other socially however).  Like every other team that fancies themselves for a shot at the flag.  And there is a number of them.  But its game on now.  Last year we went ordinary mid season.  We have to taper now.  Reset, refocus.  Get our mojo back.  Have good luck.  And be cherry ripe for finals.  None of which are a given.

    So this is the 2nd time he's been in a scuffle with a teammate. 

    From the outside it looks like alcohol doesn't really agree with May & an anger issue comes out.

    You and me both! 

    Considering how harsh ppl are when a player makes a mistake (while we’re on top of the ladder and reigning premiers) I wouldn’t have lasted five minutes on DL back in the dark times.

    The plus is that it's happened earlyish in the week. Still time to dust off and get our heads right for this task. No point complaining about it now, gotta play the cards as they are dealt.

    Bit defeatist. Are we now a one man team?

    It's not just the player it's who we replace him with. Our backline has been in disarray without him. Tomlinson along with Hunt and Lever cost us the game against Sydney. I'm confident Hunt won't play but Tomlinson I'm not sure .Give the kid Turner a go can't be any worse than Tomlinson.

    I surely can't be the only one curious about who was winning the fight? 

    May is a beast, but Melksham is a more than handy boxer.

    Oh FFS...

    This is incredibly dumb by Steven May. If he knew about the protocols of not drinking while under the concussion rule then its stupid by him.

    Watch Mason Cox kick 5 now.

    That would seriously ensure he wins this years KKA

    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

    They’re on top of the ladder, what more do you want!!!

    Amazes me what different worlds we supporters live in, really just the love of the Dee's that connects us. Or maybe it's having four brothers, but for me a bunch of headstrong blokes, who live an extreme lifestyle under huge pressure, having a small moment is not the end of the world, no police involved, no innocents hurts. May cops a punishment and it is fair and reasonable, be upset that he misses a week, we dearly need him, but his 'form' is negligible against say a Hodge. If this was the Army or Police drinks after a nightshift, we'd be none the wiser, and we'd say what a fine bunch of men they are, marching along doing their stuff. Don't let the hot-house of the media make you think the sky is falling, don't zero sum everything. I mean Tmac and Viney punched on at training. I love Steven May and until i see him do something cowardly I have his back as a supporter. Shout out to WCW for maintaining the rage!

    Clearly not drinking enough 

    For some, it happens most nights on 'Land.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
