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.

What a load of [censored].   Players had a 9 day break between games, they are surely allowed out for a drink.

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

Cook thanks

So fighting in the streets is no dramas with team rules... Good to know

Not surprised Melksham dropped him if the news report is correct.

[MrFreeze 2,028]

Melksham is a good boxer i bet that right hand woulda hurt 

[deegirl 1,584]

This is the ultimate in idiocy from May.  
 

And he’s my imaginary football boyfriend 😂

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

Well, it was actually in Vegas

So much for the ‘we don’t denigrate our teammates’ mantra

If may got punched how is melksham not banned?!

If it’s true what May said to Melksham, then he has definitely gone down a peg in my estimation of him as a bloke.

Sad really.

[Dee Zephyr 19,269]

I remember in one of the docos earlier in the year (Momentum maybe) Max said these are the type of comments to teammates they were trying to cut out, bringing someone down when they’re supposed to be feeling good.
 

Gus admitted in the same doco that’s a pretty big commitment to make to each other.  You could easily pass that type of comment as a joke if indeed that’s factual, but that’s how they want to change the culture. How angry was Melksham to respond with a punch?

Melksham got banned for playing the Freo game.

While this situation or any of todays events aren’t ideal, part of me doesn’t mind it. It might just be the fuel we need to light to fire again.

I sort of feel an incident like this can go only one of two ways; it emboldens us and we go onto having a great season or everything starts to unravel.

Because of May we have lost this game. If we play Tomlinson it’s game over hopefully we can debut Turner

Defeatism never wins anything.

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. 

And the lack of midfield pressure didn’t contribute?? That is an awful comment about OUR players  

[dazzledavey36 55,624]

If it's true what May said to Melksham then that's an absolute cheap shot and a half. 

Probably one of the worst things you could say to a bloke that's just missed out on a flag. Can't be saying [censored] like that regardless who it is.

I mean, what did you expect in return when Melksham was an undefeated amateur boxer back in the day.

If true, to have that comment from a teammate with the premiership medallion must have seriously stung. It's not like it just came from some oppo supporter nuffie in the street.

Are they a Pies supporter?  I'd hope the club would have reached out to the venue today.

They broke the first rule of fight club…….

Based on what the report says, if Melksy ever read the comments about him on here, there’d be a significant number of motionless bodies piled up. 🙃

[Jjrogan 1,448]

Of Melksham, May said the pair remained close despite the altercation.

“We’re really good mates, we have a lot of love for each other. Sometimes guys can get a little bit competitive with the banter and go a little bit overboard,” he said.

“We certainly made an error of judgement in that time."

He made a poor insensitive joke, Melksham understandably took liberties. Melksham probably forgave him in 24 hours. Lets see how long the holier than thou blood bayers on this forum take.  Ill set the over/unders at 1 premiership. 🙄
