Well the pies fans aren't to sympathetic. 

Just glad he's alright. Anaphylaxis is very serious. 

 

I’m surprised there wasn’t a horde of them outside the venue doing the long Collingwood chant as he was being loaded into the ambo, struggling to breath. 🤬

    "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. 

    Apologies, it wasn't an excuse. 

    It was just poorly articulated from a senior leader to a public audience which is obviously going to get out. 

    It just seems really childish and irks me. You can't say you're better than a team that just won the flag and you lost to them in the quarter final. It just doesn't make sense!

    Agreed. Should have kept the lips closed

    Not being a fan of the rant is hugely different from declaring it immature, spoilt, arrogant and claiming it was an excuse. But see how easy it is to maybe go a bit over the top in an answer and maybe get carried away using language that isn't necessarily reflective of your whole thoughts on a situation?

    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.

    It most definitely is possible and does happen. I know several people who’ve had a one-off reaction to specific food. In one case it was from the humble tomato. Had never happened before, has never happened since.

    100% Dub. This is the most buoyant I’ve felt since Maynard was let off, which was the lowest point in my time as a Dees supporter. I’ve been desperately hoping for a catalyst ever since, and Maysie’s raw and heartfelt comments are proving to be a kickstart to that end. I only wish there was more of this brutally honest expression from players.

    He wont be getting any "get well soon" cards from the Pies.

    Good. I'm glad May stuck it up Collingwood regardless of whether he was right or not.

    Tired of people who insist on being civil and polite all the time. We're talking about Collingwood who chanted while Brayshaw lay unconcious.

    Get under their skin at every opportunity. The Filth will boo Brayshaw in the KB game mext year. I hope May keeps annoying them .

    Best thing about SM getting sick in the off season is that he won't be eating shellfish during the season now and missing a game.

    You and I both know that actions speak louder than words

    That first tackle, that first bump, that first intercept mark has infinitely more clout than 'We shoulda....'

    Indeed it does. Hence why I'm not remotely bothered by the thoughts and words of a bloke 12 red wines in who spoke candidly. I don't think it's evidence of anything and needs no further examination.

    On a serious note, May's comments are indicative of what is wrong with the MFC at the moment.

    Stop complaining, whinging and behaving like spoilt brats.

    We are looking like the 2004 Port Adelaide side who should have had a dynasty, but didn't, because they were sooky arrogant frogs.

    Me too i liked it. For those that say we gave the Pies a target on our backs, i would respond saying that they have a much bigger target on theirs:

    1. Being the premiership team, they will become the hunted

    2. Maynardgate

    If we let them take hold of the narrative and make it about May's comments rather than the above, then we "fire-in-the-belly" to add to the list.

    I'm not examining - please stop with the assumption

    I said that my preference would be to keep this matter 'in-house' - he can say, and did say, 12 red wines of commentary

    I, too, am not remotely bothered

    Do you secretly think May means we were the better team but our forward line couldn't kick straight and the mids kept kicking them out on the full or shanking them.

    He is probably frustrated the backline went ok but watching miss after miss annoyed him, because it annoyed me.

    I suppose Steven could have said that Melbourne lost because Collingwood were unfair.....

    Unfortunately there's not to much you can come back to pies fans with. 

    They're the ones that won the gf on the G & the fans got to see them do that. They're the ones that are celebrating & soaking it up.

    Lets face it, if roles were reversed & Maynard or degoey said that about Melbourne we'd be all over it.

    We just have to suck it up & realise we've stuffed it up 2 years in a row & come back better next year

    • 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?
