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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
