Steven May staging fine

I’m ok with this as he did stage and got a free out of doing so, tbh I think the fine should be much more.

Now watch as no one else gets done for staging.

[Jaded No More 68,909]

Sorry but this gets fined but the countless of other garbage staging we’ve seen for years doesn’t?

There is not a day that goes by where I don’t hate the AFL more 

I didn’t like it and I’m fine with the punishment. Just be consistent tho for goodness sake. Nick Daicos would NEVER get fined for doing the same and worse.

If he didn't grab at his head like that he would've gotten off, bit silly of him.

[DaveyJones'sLocker 647]

100% correct call, he staged and won a free.

only player to be fined this year though give me a break. 

Umpire should be dropped for not blowing the whistler earlier.

If May gets $1800, Xavier Duursma is about to get a $250,000 fine for his effort this afternoon.

It’s great that he has been fined…. Absolutely the right call. 
 

I am perplexed how this is the only staying fine for the year however… we really should be seeing multiple a week. 
 

Brodie Kemp & Nick Daicos will be playing for free if this is the new precedent 

[BDA 22,746]

He staged. He got fined. Fair enough 

[DeeSpencer 25,684]

How about a retroactive one for Rozee in-front of goal? Or about 100 other players.

Lets be honest, May did it to reverse what would’ve been a heinous holding the ball free.

Now, why Steven May is a deer in the headlights and can’t run with the footy I don’t know but it’s been an escalating problem for a while. The big fella doesn’t like being tackled.

[Little Richard 6,262]

Fine, don't disagree with that. But now they've set a precedent they need to stick to it... but of course, they won't.

I think that happens in the umpire changing rooms after the game.

[DubDee 25,849]

It was embarrassing 

deserves a fine

[kozzyisalegend 152]

That was a disgrace from Steve may. Should have been suspended 

[whatwhat say what 22,746]

good; looked fake as and i was 150m away

(i'll take the free)

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,367]

I reckon Rivaldo still has Maysie covered.

Wish the AFL would introduce fines on umpires making [censored] decisions.
Give to charity and make the boys in yellow more accountable. 

[Little Goffy 14,525]

Reasonable except for the part where we are the only club these rules seem to apply to... again.

[Ethan Tremblay 30,856]

Definitely staged and ok with the fine. That said, players do the same thing, multiple times in every game, and don’t hear of them being fined.

I’m with you

 

Consistency. Will the club say anything about consistently applying it? Probably not. But they should. And if they don’t….

Steven should be rewarded for his quick thinking under pressure 

[Dee Viney Intervention 1,938]

Any danger the AFL could fine / suspend Carlton players for claiming they have touched the ball off the boot when they [censored] haven’t.

I agree. Lever does the same. 

[layzie 33,796]

Got what he deserved.

Just make it consistent.

[Wells 11 5,399]

Let’s hope the AFL  stay consistent on this… i’m becoming convinced the blues players practice it.
