Surgery for an infection after 3 days?

No. 

 

Infection after 3 days from hitting a bloke in the mouth and getting a penetrating injury from the teeth.

Absolutely possible and serious if that's what happened.

clarification

Did May have a mark on him in that video he did apologising? Melk probably missed and punched the wall, stuffing up his hand 

 

I'd say this sounds like a plotline from Dumb and Dumber, but I have the feeling that there is more to play out here and that we'll be crowning someone Dumbest of all the Dumb Dumbs by the end of the week.

Another consequence of Steven May’s actions ~

Melksham to miss Round 13

"Another consequence of Steven May’s Melksham's actions "  -  so did May bite his hand?  Surely if one choses to punch and injures your hand it is not the fault of the guy who is hit.


Yep diddnt come out of his corner at the bell for the start of  round 13........

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.

Not only a team mate, but one getting over concussion, from a previous hit to the head. Actually assaulted someone for a verbal barb. Pretty great all round.

I think Jake might have played  his last AFL game for us, considering his last two games and on top of this incident.

Infection can set in rapidly. For a Demons example, I saw Rod Grinter at a party the night he clocked Terry Wallace. His hand was infected & had already swelled up like a soccer ball. It caused Grinter to miss the following week (while Wallace played)

yes but Wallace was a dog 


What May said is brutal but in my view not something a reasonably well adjusted adult and father should consider punchworthy. Particularly when that somebody is supposedly a close mate. 

Bizarre and I suspect more to it than just that sledge. Hope I am wrong and for now will assume I am.

Agree. Shameful all round. Worse that these are 30 year old supposed leaders, not teenagers!

I don't know what you think May said, but in Gawn's press conference he said that the Grand Final comment in the media was not true.

Take that back, irrelvant now Max has said that quote about the GF was all nonsense.

DeeCving, the problem for me is that it may have been worse.

If people are stupid enough to not think this is ridiculous, then that's their problem.

I’ll miss his 5 possessions and zero tackles. 

Me too... though at the same time still remember the season he had in 2018 where he became one of our most important and reliable players.  Fell off a cliff after that though or maybe the evolution of our game plan meant there was no longer a role for him.

Maybe he’s a fan of Zidane?

or Alistair Lynch and Carl Ditterich.

Agree. In fact it almost surely was. 

But i also take on face value that they've both manned up, admitted they've made major mistakes and have buried the hatchet. 

If you've read Max's diary from last year he spent quite a time describing the way the whole club has tried to lift the way they talk to eachother. With more respect and less denigration. He says its still not perfect but it's a lot better, and he referenced that in the press conference today. The whole club has matured, a lot, this is a setback no doubt, but also a teaching moment. 

Let's see what they do with it...

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
