PS. My wife and I laughed about that for years. Sadly not enough years.

Sorry to hear that Uncle.

The bad news gets worse.  Much worse in fact.

Rumour has it that Bayley Fritsch has a library book that is TWO DAYS overdue.

Not sure Bayley knows what a library is?

i'm sure coldstream must have a library of sorts.....it's not romsey you know!

 

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.

Any mention of when...?

Given a court appearance and case finalised, suggest this was some time ago

Also, the potential for this to happen inadvertantly in Vic with the shambolic fines system appears very real

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.

here's something for maysie to listen to whilst he waits out his licence suspension.

 

Bad idea. Too much Willie Nelson might encourage him to smoke illegal substances.

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. 


No wonder driving in Melbourne is such hard work these days. Half the population doesn't have a valid license, and the other half condones this. 

Where do you draw the line? By this standard every parking ticket and late phone plan payment should be disclosed by the media.

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

Plenty of footy commentators still without licenses that i.....

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.

A poor example from a senior player.

If he skittled someone the club would condone it.

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.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
