Some people are thinking when May returns he’ll be a liability to the team like Carey was with his scandal. Not sure how you can compare the two TBH.

    So if we get Maysie to fake apologise via an oiled up artistic photograph 📸, can he play Monday?

    It would appear a co-ordinated pre-fabed fire extinguisher strat is already well under way.  He is now the victim....leave him alone!

    Yep..completely assumed role as victim. Should be able to do as he pleases in his private life. Not a football matter. May and Melky not afforded the same right to privacy. Joke

    If Steven May or Toby Greene had a photo like that come out, there would be calls for them to be sacked

    Sounds like he is commenting on one of the early (and many) versions of what was said. If so, that’s not wise. 

    Hmmm. Perhaps, but getting stuck into Smith and then saying to Melksham the effect of ‘what would you know, you play 2s’ is not much better than that whole ‘you play, we lose’ palaver.

    Either way, he I usually quite measured and of course, well connected.

    Exactly. 

    I'm happy for the AFL integrity department to investigate.

    If any of the players have gold porkies to the club then they deserve their right wack.

    The problem with picking and choosing which incident they investigate is they open themselves up to accusations of selective investigations and/or having an agenda.

    And if every incident was investigated the players involved in any incident would be less likely to withhold key information.

    Has the pig industry adopted Willy Wonka promotional ideas? What do the players win?

    Chance May has taken himself down to Casey to watch the 2’s today? Perhaps a thoughtful gesture to show appreciation for a large part of the club he seemingly doesn’t value.

    Might be better to show a low profile for the next two weeks.

    Very disappointed that Nathan Jones decided to add his two cents. The story was just beginning to die out thanks to Bailey Smith.

    Sadly it’s his job now, and as someone who experienced so much garbage at the club and then only just missed out on a premiership I think he’s entitled to an opinion.

    You reckon Richo would have said the same about the Tigers, Luke Hodge would have said the same about Hawthorn or Ling about Geelong etc? They’re all in the same job.

    He could easily have manoeuvred around  it. “I think Max handled it well” or “I’m sure Steven regrets it”.

    He sooks about his sadness again because it’ll get his face in the papers, not because he feels compelled to answer every question honestly behind the mic.

    Poor ol' Jonesy.
    Should count himself lucky.
    Got 2yrs closer to a flag than he should've.

    I feel for Jones. I really do. However, I’ve never quite understood the story of whether he was told he wouldn’t be picked to play in the GF, or whether he made the decision to go home after the prelim because his wife was due. What I mean is, was Jones told by Goodwin you that he wouldn’t be the sub? Or did Jones just go home? I still think he was entitled to play as the sub, but even if he’d been in form at the time, he would have had to choose between the birth of his twins and a Grand Final.

    He was told he wouldn't be picked (barring injury) in enough time he could then make the call to head home for kids' birth

    He then made the call to head home

    Edit:  I would've picked him as sub

    That he took offense to what May said. And fair enough. As I said in an earlier post, fat chance May says what he said to Jonesy. 
    Yet he’s brave enough to say it to Smith. Very poor behavior.

    Got nothing against Jones as a person and loyal servant of our club, and by some responses I get the feeling people aren’t always allowed ‘unpopular’ opinions here (based on the old face palm responses), but I think Bernie Vince (in 2018) and Jordan Lewis (in 2019) had shown more in their respective final seasons to be given one-year contract extensions than Jones did after each of these seasons. Jones’ last 3-4 years were just so-so after he was unbelievable in our dark years. He was no doubt rewarded with new contracts for loyalty, and in actual fact even if he was gifted games to get to 300, it’s probably not a bad thing for the fabric of the club, whilst also giving players around him perspective not to take things for granted.

     

    His comments the other day probably weren’t necessarily, but he’s not an employee of the club anymore, so he can do what he wants - look what Matthew Lloyd says about Essendon almost of a daily basis - I’m almost surprised they let him in their little circle on Friday night 😊

    Section 23 of the Summary Offences Act 1966 (Vic) provides a summary statutory offence for ‘unlawful assault’. Unlawful assault charges are heard before the Magistrates’ Court and carry a maximum penalty of 15 penalty units (around $165 per unit) or 3 months imprisonment.

    However, in the most serious cases of unlawful assault, a person may be charged with ‘common assault’. Common assault is a criminal offence that arises at common law in Victoria (R v Patton [1998] 1 VR 7). These matters are heard before the County Court and carry a maximum penalty of 5 years imprisonment.

    A person may be charged with unlawful assault if they “unlawfully assaulted or beat another person”. Examples might include threatening to punch someone, hitting another person or spitting at another person. Charges of unlawful assault can be laid even if the victim wasn’t injured.

    That begs the question; is there a "lawful assault" defence?

    Yes, when the assaulted person is an Essendon supporter. 🤭

    He explains it in depth in a recent “dyl and friends” podcast.

    Basically knew that the only way he would get a game was via an injury. Pressure from the mrs came the day after the prelim, and he just felt the right thing to do was be at the birth, rather than hang around hoping for an injury and potentially missing both the GF and the birth

    Watching Fox Footy before today’s game and just heard that the Dees said it was May who threw the first punch.

    Anyone else heard this or am I slow to the news?

    • 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?
