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.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
