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?

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
