How in earth are the media getting drip fed all this stuff??

Is the club releasing it to them, or players themselves??

Can only be one or the other right?

steven-seagal-seagal.gifI heard it moved into the kitchen before spilling out into the street.

 

Seriously, if May wants to say those sort of comments to 'one of his own', he really should be saying them here on this site anonymously.  At least he'd get a few likes.   

Storm. Meet. Teacup.

Quality, hard hitting journalism. Slobbering slobbo and the pontificating whately get to the heart of the story.

Don't discount the media going to the restaurant.

Max Gawn thinks that [censored] talk. He has been up on his high horse across a bunch of different forums about the team and how they talk to each other and belittling Smith as having done nothing with his footy is absolutely poor. And worth confronting. Just not violently.

If that’s what was said then this thing has been the biggest beat up yet. Yes there was a fight but all that nonsense about finals creates a fracture/division in the playing group  etc is BS. The only thing was the brawl and that was dealt with swiftly. 

Sounds like they didn’t even get to eat. They probably should have had a Mars bar on arrival to settle the hanger.

Um..Two players from a premiership club getting into Biffo at a Restaurent aint just a media beatup. 

Some serious issues about this which as a member I am concerned about!

I'm being facetious mate.

It's actually quite humorous (as a non player that doesn't particularlyrate Smith or Milkshake) but I understand that it's not what Gawny has been trying to instill into the group 

Rate him or not, it’s literal trash to tell a teammate that you’re basically happy he got injured and didn’t play in a flag. If the shoe was on the other foot and May didn’t pull up from his hamstring, he wouldn’t want Smith to joke about it. 
These guys have worked their whole lives and have sacrificed everything to win premierships. Would May say that to Jones? No he wouldn’t! 

Considering May spent 10 years at a rock bottom club achieving nothing, it’s bloody rich of him to be pulling out this garbage. Really poor behavior from someone who is meant to be a leader of our club and the leader of the backline. How does he expect to command respect from the rest of his teammates after pulling this crap? 
 

Also he was clearly not sober, which considering he is recovering from a head injury, just shows me he has really bad judgment and probably an inability to not consume alcohol.

It's not clear from the reports that it was May who made the 2nd comment (about getting injured before the finals). 

Either way, I reckon there's nothing at all in there that should have lead to fisticuffs 

Maysie clearly a bit of a ‘lad’ - loves to take the [censored] out of his mates, loves a beer and isn’t short on confidence.  

Gets away with it most of the time though because a) not an easy thing to confront b) footballers who lead like ’generals’ on the ground generally get praised, not told off and c) most of the time it is probably harmless.


But he clearly has a lack of empathy which they need to address head on now. The Melksham comments, the sharp feedback he clearly gives to players on the ground and even an unprovoked joke he made on social media about Jake Lever needing to shave his pubic hair. You can just tell he doesn’t really understand how his comments/actions impact some people.

 

I’ve experienced a similar person in change rooms before…. People just let it happen because the person was a good player and they didn’t want to challenge him because it would be awkward and would probably result in the bullying being focused on you… didn’t mean people weren’t desperate for it to stop though.

Let me be very clear. I do not condone violence. Ever.
And I have a feeling it got physical because all involved were drunk. Which makes the entire thing worse. Smith and May injured and therefore not allowed to drink. Melksham fighting to keep his career alive. None of them should have had so much alcohol that their judgement was so impaired to the point where they’re punching on in the street! 

And let’s be honest, these are all big solid guys. A beer or two wouldn’t impact them.

I am less concerned than I was previously. The ‘banter’ was in ill taste but it wasn’t as vulgar as what the media has made it out to be. Why let the truth get in the way of a good story?

The violence is the only issue I have with it. They had a few, made a bad decision and are now sorry for it. I’m sure similar scuffles can happen on the training track as well. 

 


The media is now intent on taking either individually  or collectively the MFC out of Finals calculations.

So it will persist for a few weeks until we say lose our next three games and the discord is happening amongst ourselves including Officials.

I'll say it again ,close ranks completely  from now until the end of H Games, or be prepared.

I would hate to think what the umpiring will be like this week.

Makes a nonsense of the Sorrento meeting which agreed that trash talk would be stopped between the players on the back of Vander’s comment, ie respect your teammates. Hogan, Watts, Sylvia were talented players who got moved on supposedly due to the “new” standards/culture. Maysy will need to be very careful, as no matter how good he is as a player, he doesn’t meet the new standards, just listen to Kate Roffey et al, and particularly after the Narrn round, say no more….

The other side here is this might have been the cauldron finally boiling over after weeks or even months of cheap shots, below the belt stuff etc.

I hope this isn't the case and mere speculation on my part but i'm sniffing there may well be deeper longer term issues here (in particular between two team mates or maybe a few more if you include others on the periphery) that finally bubbled to the surface on the Sunday.

If so let's hope they nut it out (or have already done so) as something that might have been bubbling along for some time probably doesn't just "go away" after a bit of a donnybrook.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
