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.

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
