I think we need to wait on some facts first before we start pointing the finer or false praising people.

As we know know both boys were drinking and have had a disagreement over a light-hearted moment.

I don't think that light hearted moment was Melksham telling May to stop drinking..

Could mods ban this poster from 'Land please?

AGREE WCW

However, I am still Livid with whatever transpired, but "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" and it does have the capacity to derail to an extent our season. Defining moment coming up at MFC

Gees I hope we can endure and overcome this Monday..... A few REALLY now need to step up, Coz the filth will smell blood!

The club was going to suspend May for 2 games for drinking under concussion protocols, but reduced it to one on learning that he’d actually landed one on Melksham.

Also, there was a recent Age article discussing research from Monash Uni, and it was suggested players should have a 28 day break from contact sport after a concussion. I just see Steven May as being at the forefront of medical science.

Easily the post of the night.

And you’ve every right to be livid. The difference between you and a group of others here is that your comments AREN’T nasty personal attacks on a person.

Can't remember the last time I had dinner with friends and got into a fight after it 

Clearly not drinking enough 

A never for me but then some on here must have strange friends.

 

Like a lot of others, I'm disappointed in Stephen. I just love the bloke. Easily the best big back we've had in my time watching the Deez . . . coming up to 50 years now. 

However . . . 

Let he or she who hasn't fuuuuked up badly in their life at one time or another identify themselves on this thread now. For you may now throw the first stone. 


My Wife says I drink too much.......

I agree and then night then goes over smoother than a Skinheads haircut!! 😁

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!

I suggest you take Stephen's place in the team DEE fence for both your name and the sanity you bring to a mostly insane thread.

Good to see you sitting on that high horse

Bloody cold up here during the winter

The media , talk back callers and keyboard warriors are loving sinking the boots in about all the stuff happening with us right now.

Losing 2 in a row

Mays indiscretion 

crowd numbers

Snow season  etc etc

I had to turn the radio off and not get sucked in to reply to derogatory posts.

We are on top of the ladder last time I looked.

Hopefully all this will galvanize the club and I have no doubt we will come out steaming on Monday, and launch the second half of the year, and in September when it really counts.

All this bulltish will blow over.

I don’t mean the derogatory remarks ad snow references.

I was talking more about the teams fortunes, to dampen all that crap down.

Didn’t hear much of it when we blitzed the finals

Melbourne footballer Jake Melksham allegedly “floored” teammate Steven May in an ugly dust up at a posh Prahran restaurant.

Sources claim that May had made a slur about Melksham missing out on last year’s drought premiership, which sparked the reaction.

May allegedly said: “If you had have played in the granny (grand final) we would have lost.”

It is claimed that Melksham then “floored” 190cm May with one punch in retaliation

Not the first time May has been belted by a teammate… Cambell Brown busted his jaw at Gold Coast..


May should not be on the grog during the season (in fact I think the entire playing group shouldn’t drink in season).

This is at least his 2nd alcohol related transgression with us. As a member of the leadership group he needs to display and preserve the highest of standards to strengthen our culture.

Been working all day so limited viewing here...

Did Melksham also get suspended or is it simply a moot point? 

May was suspended for drinking during concussion protocols, not for the biff

  • 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?
