I’m sure the Pies are going to be stoked that our culture precludes Steven from playing on QB. So dumb. 

If there’s one team that wouldn’t understand the importance of trying to instil a healthy culture, it’s that turkey safe-house.

    So disappointed in May. He has form, can't control the drink and hasn't learnt from his lessons. I would be on board for Melbourne making a big statement and delisting him. 

    Overkill, he hasn't murdered anyone. Sydney Stack spent time in prison and remains on Richmond's list. The punishment is sufficient in my view, knock it on the head and move on.

    Getting rid of those that need help is not the sign of a good culture or society.

    This mindset just ignores problems to avoid the hard work of tackling them.

    Its also not going to happen.

    And coming from the Suns following a wasted decade, he now misses the best home and away game of the season. 

    Big Freeze at the G. This will hurt him more than any sanction anyone could apply.

    This 12 minute news conference just loaded onto the club's website.

    Compulsory viewing for all members to just appreciate how lucky the Dees are to have a first class leader in Max Gawn.

    He played in the most recent one in 2019.

    “Melksham has floored him, according to the reports. With all the evidence around coward punches and one-punches and all the damage they can do, he’s floored him, punched him, he’s already in concussion protocols, and we know how serious that is, so he’s potentially suffered two concussions in the space of a week, and Melksham has got nothing.

    “Work that out for me.”

    The aspect of the Melksham/May brawl that “doesn’t quite add up”

     

    This is wrong as both players will be made to do community service 

    Melk just wasn't suspended

    All the players on our list do community driven services/interactions the entire time they're on the list, to use that as a punishment is laughable.

    Agree. He is a great leader and person and should never have to have been put into a position to front the media on this topic. That should sting may and Melksham as much as anything

    I think the implication is the punishment is pretty light given the circumstances around punching someone with concussion in the head.

    I'll give Maysie some credit here...

    When he picks a drunken fight, at least he picks a fight with someone who can handle themselves.

    Sadly for him, he's come off second best both times.

    The stuff about letting him off is ludicrous.

    The day I saw this club tangibly start to turn around was when Roosy read the riot act to Dean Terlich and Alexis Georgiou in no uncertain terms after their ha-ha-larious stunt on Mad Monday 2014. Both were gone by next season.

    I think we have only once given someone a pass on something that would normally be considered out of bounds, and that was Jesse Hogan when his father died (he'd gotten cancer himself too) and he was photographed smoking a dart at a music festival in Perth. Totally understandable considering the circumstances.

    It's no coincidence that we have improved on a nearly year by year basis since.

    Possible but also sounds like Kane trying to obfuscate what actually happened to make it sound like he got no punishment

    Great interview from Max, stood tall, took it seriously but presented a calm strong front that the wheels haven't fallen off.

    Said the GF comment reported that May said was false

    Geez Max is as good a leader as I have ever seen, dealt with those questions artfully and mixed in his classic Max humour when necessary. 

    No one i would rather want leading the boys out every week, we are very lucky.

    Big deal, it's not a punishment.  All players do community programs through their community partners as part of their contracts.

    loved his half sarcastic compliment to the journo who picked up the technicality that May & Melksham family only indirectly impacted.

    Thanks Andy.  Excellent leadership by Max.

    I wish the AFL would put mics in the audience for press conf so we can hear the questions.  So frustrating to try and guess from Max's answers.

    That's as strong a media performance from a player as you'll ever see, Raw, you can see he's hurt and dissapointed, but articulate, doesn't duck any questions, sets boundaries well. 

    Such an impressive guy.

    • 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.
