Steven May has been hospitalised overnight but unsure on why. Hopefully the club let us know. 

 

If it’s not steaks it’s Seafood.

 

Where was Melksham in all of this?

 

Broke out in hives, had difficulty breathing with severe nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.

Apparently an anaphylactic reaction to a Collingwood premiership.

There's a Twitter screenshot of a tweet from Tradepoacher in the Best and Fairest thread here, saying it was an anaphylactic reaction to shellfish at the event

🤧

That can be quite serious.

I was lucky, I just got the nausea!!!

I'm glad he didn't cop an injury like that oyster who went to a nightclub and pulled a mussel.     Sorry.


Unfortunately his comments at the B&F re the filth have made it on social media…. The filth will use as motivation

I doubt it - he was half drunk at a BnF. It’ll be forgotten in 8 months time when we play them.
 

The Brayshaw hit will be what is front of mind for every Melbourne player.

May wasn’t wrong. He did look a bit baffled as to why he plays for - who he acknowledges to be - a superior team that cannot get the job done, against a less talented list. I know Collingwood fans won’t agree, but if both lists were on an open market for coaches - most coaches would choose our list. We’d probably beat Collingwood by 10 goals if we had Macrae. 

Man. 

You've got to laugh at anyone who agrees with May's comments from the bnf.

Talk about immaturity again. He sounded like a man-child and I highly doubt Goodwin and co would agree that his view was representative of the groups. 

His comments sounded like an arrogant spoilt child if you ask many people. And of course those comments will be used by Mcrae etc. They thrive off things like this. 

The fact is, they won a flag and after losing a prelim by a point last year and we've bundled out in straight sets two years running. 

You simply can't throw up excuses like that as a senior member of an AFL club. It's sooooooo cringe and childish. Joisus.

I highly doubt May hasn't had shellfish before, so I'm curious from a scientific point of view as to how he had an allergic reaction this time. I didn't know it was possible to have an allergic reaction to something one has previously not been allergic to.

"We're better than them" "Play out brand, we've got them covered" "We know we're a better side" is the exact sort of messaging that would be used internally in every single game they go out to play. In the week leading up to it, pre game, during quarter breaks, the works. Calling it immature, arrogant or spoilt shows an enormous lack of understanding about the psychology required to will yourself to contest after contest, and how important trusting your teammates to best their opponents is. Without that mindset, you're on a hiding to nothing, and every contest becomes about luck because you're not there utterly convinced that you can beat your man. 

He never once made an excuse in saying what he said. It was almost the exact opposite - that it was hard and he hating watching the Pies go on and win the flag because he knows we're better. That's an admission of failure that's now burning, not an excuse.

It's true though, we beat ourselves in the QF. Pies are no slouches obviously but all May was saying was it hurts seeing another team win the flag when we know we could've won it ourselves. Clearly results are what matter and we need to walk the walk but it's hardly doomsday.

I'm sure the club thought the same watching the Cats win last year - we know we have the list and we have underachieved the last 2 years. It's not provocative it's just where they see themselves. It's an indictment on us if anything.

Let the Collingwood nuffies froth, it's what they're good at.

Right, so it burns - internalise it, keep it in a closed space

I'm not a fan of the rant

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
