Steven May Suspended by the Club

Satan
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

We're so lucky that Gawn's our captain. I knew he wouldn't be happy about the incident. It's refreshing to have a leader who doesn't refrain from expressing what he really thinks.

    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. 

    That would be a completely over the top reaction as well as an act of stupidity.

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

    It’s extra on top of the requirement. It’s time out of their day. I’d think the negative coverage would be more punishment for these guys than anything anyway.

    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.


    Absolutely owned that press conference and even gave a journo a light clip for being mischievous.

    The reason I suggested Max for PM in an earlier tongue-in-cheek post was because, unlike recent politicians, if he didn't want to answer a question he simply said he would not, nor did he avoid answering a question by going into a prepared speech on another topic. Very refreshing.

    This is hands down the most ridiculous post I've ever read on Demonland. I've been here a long time. Congratulations.

    These damn journo's are like vultures, searching for any scraps they can find. Gawny handled that press conference really well. One of the best captains I've seen watching footy and a champion bloke.

    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.

     

    The only positive to come out of this is the reinforcement that Gawn is a superb leader

    Gotcha gernalism is alive and well in AFL Media. Its a horrible industyry with zero accountability.

     

    Max was great and gives me great faith that the boys will respond.

    Let’s all go down to that restaurant and see if they need a hand tidying up.

    Any carpenters among us to help repair that front desk?

    I just don’t want that security footage released 

    I work in Commercial furniture fitouts and was very tempted to give them a call! 😛

    Maxie is the most impressive captain and leader in the AFL by a wide margin. It is simply amazing that he could grow in stature by so much this year.

    No other captain in recent times has shown his level of sophistication and intelligence as a leader, both when we won the flag and now when the club is under some pressure.

    I would follow him anywhere. Lead on Maxie.

    You are 100% right on Max that was a brilliant press interview he is without the best Leader we have had at the club for a long time.

    Must send such a great message to the playing group as well. “This is war fellas, lets get on the front foot and address our challenges head on” 

    can’t recall Cotchin, or co responding in an equivalent manner

    Max handled himself so well in that presser. Cool, calm collected and made excellent points. He is a brilliant captain and leader.

    Minor point but would it have killed them to organise a proper backdrop?

    That was a viscous and completely disproportionate and disrespectful performance from the media. I could only conjur images of seagulls to chips on the beach. Really shameful and disappointing. And Tom Browne what an absolute [censored] for incessant questioning on details which are not helpful in anyway whatsoever other than slander and headline grabbing.

    Max did such a great job in responding and i can see he's blood is boiling. I am pretty confident that an immense response will be on display on Monday.

    Would of loved for Max to sign off from that press conference by saying “thanks but I’ve got to go and mow my lawn”

    Yep grubs the majority of them. Not satisfied until they know every detail of what was said, where did the punch land, did May order a medium or rare Scotch fillet? Can only imagine the $$ on offer to the restaurant to release the CCTV.

    Everyone talking but Melksham…why is that? Shouldn’t he have something to say? He threw the punch? He knows he is gone at the end of the year and saving it for some post career cash

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
