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.

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
