Steven May caught driving with a suspended license

His media career is assured. If it wasn't for the dishonesty implications I would happily share some points, being away from Australia for so long I finally got back to 12.

All the commentators in their coats and club ties are free to drink martinis while Stephen May drives. I didn't do it he says then he goes online. That's too many demerits for this dee boy to hide." (Apologies Bob Dylan).

May wouldn’t have had a problem if he hadn’t driven like a hurricane.

As have I. Twice. On both occasions I wasn’t informed I had amassed the maximum demerit points, only to find out when pulled over.

I am sorry to break this to you, but as a result, you will not be permitted to play full back for the Demons this weekend.

If you look at the injury report, I think you'll find WCW is already out with a foot injury.

No they won't. 

What it does bring is unwanted attention and negativity towards the club. Journo's will blow this up bigger then it should.

I know I go on about it a bit, but the levels of sensationalist journalism around the AFL are a disgrace. A stupid non-story like this is given a blaring headline and all of a sudden it’s in the news.
 

Same goes with Luke Jackson - whatever you think of his move, getting blasted by the AFL media after 2 games is disgusting. Of course, be critical after a poor performance, but some of the stuff that comes from supposed senior commentators like Kane Cornes, just to make a headline, is awful.

AFL "journalism" is a cesspool of drama queens and ne'er do wells. Best to avoid it and just watch the games, makes the experience of the footy so much better. Some analysis shows like On the Couch, First Crack and Demonland podcast (:lol:) are notable exceptions.

First Crack and DL podcast are literally all I'm listening to at the moment.

I doubt the media will see it that way.  They'll try to make the story bigger by showing his rapt sheet and discussing that as well

If it's a points issue, it's possibly [censored] poor communication or, at worst, carelessness - I've done the same.

Vic Roads or whatever they are called are borderline incompetents. 

Speaking from experience (not mine btw)

His licence will be suspended because of points.

If it was speeding or drink driving it would be a court matter, unless the level was very low, but if that was the case it would have made the Herald Sun front page. It didn't.

I was on 12 points and was given 2 options - keep driving and one more point in 12 months reults in suspension for a year,  OR  take a suspension now or 3 months.  I risked the 12 month 'probabtion' which was tricky but OK in the end. I suspect Maysy was on the limit and overstepped speeding wise.  easily done on the Monash freeway going to casey maybe. 

I'm surprised there aren't more suspended drivers on the road given the sheer cost of getting back the licence (if it was due to alcohol).

I'll be cheering him on either way Sunday arvo.

Me too. From experience going through red lights/no entry signs is 3 points. Where I work there's a street nearby that has a no entry sign, I see people abuse this at least 20 times a day because it's a great shortcut but if you're caught then it's 3 demerit points just like a red light. Using your mobile while driving I believe is 4 points and around $500 fine, not advocating the use of phones while driving but there are many things we use our phones for these days and even a quick check of google maps can get you in trouble. 

So a couple of mobile incidents, a no entry sign and speeding over a 3 year period can get you the 12 and suspend your licence. We all make mistakes and it can be things other than drink driving.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
