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

Max for PM

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.

So, Daniel Turner is playing QB???

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.

I've never seen a better captain than Max, playing for any team.

He did get a mention in Max's interview just now - interesting..

Any carpenters among us to help repair that front desk?

I just don’t want that security footage released 

Well you better make sure you come out with a black box under your arm DZ!!

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.
