Wishb they would tell us the truth,  not spin it

Not sure what part you think is missing. They where drinking, a verbal turned to physical end of story. Feel for the other punters in the restaurant no one should have to be around that behaviour when eating out. Seriously thuggish behaviour all around by adults who should know better. Melksham has small kids at home and here he is drinking and punching a teammate on a Sunday night.

    There is no way he has an infection,  that's total bs.   And even if he did it wouldn't need surgery

    I'm no doctor but that seems like far too soon for an infection to have spread enough to need surgery.

    My initial thought when I saw the heading on twitter was that he has obviously broken his hand.

    To see that it's surgery for infection is..... interesting...

    At this stage you just have to laugh at the stupidity of it all. 

    Hopefully the team come out firing on Monday to give the fans something to cheer.

    I know May initiated the incident with saying what he did... but how is Melksham not also suspended for punching a teammate?

     

    That strong a reaction from Melk makes me assume he was also indulging rather heavily that night..

    A team mate who had a concussion BTW (which may be why the club gave May a week rather than a fine)

    Good to see we are owning it all rather than blaming playing with a dog or a rogue frisbee.

    Can't imagine Mrs Melksham would be overly thrilled with his behaviour.

    Instead of this community service bollocks, how about some anger management classes!  Imagine being a family at a nearby table when this garbage went on. A table full of muscular blokes on the amber fluid throwing banter around is antisocial and obnoxious as it is. Let alone the escalation to a 190cm 100kg+ specimen getting decked, before the both of them scuffling, breaking fittings inside, and ending up on the street. So easily could have led to injuries to bystanders, etc. Just disgraceful, especially from senior players.

    How on earth was melksham not suspended for responding to words with physical assault, in public no less, and against a recently concussed player???

    What an ugly way to end a career.

    Maybe he’s a fan of Zidane?

    These two are a complete embarrassment. 

    Melksham has probably cost himself his career and May has probably cost us a win we so desperately need.

    This is embarrassing. They need to get all info out now, and any vision, anything else. Get it all out now. Infection in 3 days… 

    PR 101 - you can’t stop it getting out, so get it out yourself and quickly.

    If you don't hiding the info becomes a bigger story than the fight.

    Not sure it’s a consequence of May’s actions. Melksham has free will and can choose how to respond.

    If he’d just said ‘get stuffed you k n o b’ then we’d be fine.

    If anything, it could be argued May being suspended is in fact a consequence of Melksham’s actions. Not saying I agree but you can’t pin the decision to punch someone on the victim.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
