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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
