Is the QB match a GF?

It is for Collingwood these days!

    The Heraldsun quotes that there were up to 12 players at the dinner.

    The blame and responsibility is on May, but surely some of the other players present would have known he shouldn't have been drinking? 

    True leadership is another player at the table ensuring May didn't drink, when he may have wanted to. 

    If the altercation occurred because Melksham was having a go at May for drinking, then I have respect for Melksham.

    Can't remember the last time I had dinner with friends and got into a fight after it 

    Clearly not drinking enough

    Hard to know who else was at the dinner. I don’t expect Bowey to tell May not to drink. If Melksham was the only other senior player there and told him to stop drinking or not to have more than one beer say, and May took offense than that explains the “altercation”. Either way it’s a bad look for the club and it has cost May and us.

    Yep, and interested as to whether Gawn was there tbh.

    Viney wasn't, and he absolutely tore shreds off the playing group when they all met about it. Goody did also, apparently absolutely lost it, but more about the incident rather than directly at players.

    Seems everyone wants to get a room with him when he’s killing it on the field. One slip and he’s thrown outta the room and is left to pay the hotel bill.

    Every player at the dinner had no problem with May drinking until he got caught.

    So…. They can’t exactly be emphasising the high standards.

    Given 2 of our older players were there I wouldn’t be surprised if many others in the leadership group were too. 

    You're drawing big assumptions for having almost no information. You don't know what was going on in the minds of the any other player that was attending the dinner. 

    Easy to comment from the external and honestly insignificant as well.

    It's 2022. Someone will be in possession of a phone that has the "scuffle" on video. Lets see if Mick Warner really does have the inside info on the Dees.

    He is a leader of the club. He is 29. He is handsomely paid. He is one of our most important players coming off a concussion as we face 2 losses. There is literally no excuse for his behavior. 
    I love him and I won’t hold it against him, and yes everyone makes mistakes, but the club and the supporters have every right to be furious about it. 
    We can hardly afford to have him out for another week. His action might have cost us 4 points which could be the difference between a home final or a double chance come the end of the year. 
    Big big consequences.

    I think we need to wait on some facts first before we start pointing the finer or false praising people.

    As we know know both boys were drinking and have had a disagreement over a light-hearted moment.

    I don't think that light hearted moment was Melksham telling May to stop drinking..

    Club in its first mini crises for quite a while. Tmac down, Bartlett headlines, 2 losses in a row, May gets club suspension. 

    If they lose on Monday this goes from being a mini crises to a full blown  one. Club officially now in a stress  test…that could get much worse. let’s see what they’ve got.

    If we lose a close one against the Pies then May's absence will almost certainly be a contributing factor

    And that would make it 3 losses in a row with Brisbane up next

    The Pies would be looking on with glee

    A suspended sentence, a heavy fine and lots of community service should have been the outcome

    Trouble is that the PA have been able to cap the fines at $5k

    So a $15k - $20k would really hurt May but that sort of figure can't be enforced

    I was deep down hoping that Binman was going to be wrong when he said we would most likely lose to the ferals because of loading, but wow, looking more and more likely now.

    Still of course going to go to the game and hope like hell that we can pull it off.

    This disaster along with the crap being written in the Feral Hun can only incentivise the playing group. I have a lot of faith in our team culture, which I know sounds a bit ironic right now.  Fingers crossed.

    May gets the suspension for drinking while injured which is a big no, no.  It was a repeat offence.  No option but to suspend him.

    "Steven and Jake will also complete community service through one of the club's community partners to ensure they understand the responsibility and impact they have as role models within the community".

    Penalties look appropriate.

    It’s the insulting NAME-CALLING that pisses me off. You’ve made your point without stooping to that low. I only wish others would as well. 
    Yes, emotions are heightened but there’s no excuse for childish slurs. 


    Incidentally, you say, “there’s literally no excuse for his behaviour.” You simply cannot say that as an undeniable fact. The only fact here is, YOU DON’T KNOW. YOU WEREN’T THERE.

    With everything that is happening right now I cannot stress how important it is for all of us who can, to get to the G next Monday to show support for our team.  They need it and deserve it.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
