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

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
