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.

    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 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

    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.

    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.

    Umpire should be dropped for not blowing the whistler earlier.

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

    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.

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

    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

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

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
