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.  

 
 

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


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.


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.

Hmmm seems the three second rule doesn’t apply to imaginary boyfriends. 🤨

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  

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.

5 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

so they broke the reception desk at the restaurant in this 'scuffle'

comment from the owner:

Entrecote's owner posted to the restaurant's Instagram story blasting Melbourne and Steven May.

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

 

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. 🙃

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. 🙄

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
