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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
