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.

It was embarrassing 

deserves a fine

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….

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

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
