I know the side’s form is currently in a downturn, but does the collective intelligence of Demonland have to plummet with it? 

'Collective Intelligence': surely an oxymoron in this case...

Clearly Butters has already won the Brownlow - he simply cannot buy a suspension. Corrupt AFL.

Maybe there is better footage than what I saw.  But I’d like to know why Berry didn’t get fined for staging. From the grainy footage I saw it looked like Butters gave him a pretty soft tap with his non preferred left arm as he ran past.  From Berry’s reaction you would swear he had Mike Tyson give him a brutal kidney punch.

While we are at it, why didn’t the Brisbane medicos cop it for not immediately sending Berry for scans at hospital.  He clearly could have had a ruptured kidney.

 

If he didn't grab his head he would have been fine.

I expect the media coverage will cause him the embarrassment & he won't be doing it again

it also means that next time he is clocked high, the maggots will remember and not reward him with a free

so one incorrect call will cause another

It set an appalling example to all the other players, especially the junior ones. It was a disgraceful act, the fine should have been a hell of a lot more

Our club needs to be better than this, little wonder that we are having the season that we are having, with players resorting to this kind of behavior. It is embarrassing.

True, but so do the players from other clubs doing it and some of them are having quite a good season.  I can understand MFC supporters being [censored] off when it gets ignored until it's us in the sights.

Lethal hit the nail on the head on this one. Complete non issue

Steven May is lying on the ground - the ball is down around his knees.

He's expecting players to pile on top of him to force a stoppage.

So he brings his arm up to protect himself and his head.

So he's getting fined for protecting his head? 

AFL is rigged.

And you my friend are living in Disneyland.

May got what he deserved, but has more than enough credits in the bank for me not to worry about.

Finally a serious question, why do so many supporters think there’s a conspiracy between the AFL& umpires against the MFC?

Im not being a smartarse, just really interested

Serious answer:  The conspiracy is not against the MFC per se (and some others), but in favour of where the AFL thinks the big $$$ are.  The overall effect may appear similar.

Oh settle down, what an overreaction 

Did May stage for a free kick, yes. Do other players stage for free kicks, yes.

So why oh why do we always have to be front and centre for this type of media attention. 

I am so sick and tired of media scum coming after our players and when other players do it it’s basically glossed over and forgotten about within 24 hrs. 

The media do really pizz me off.  FFS FIND ANOTHER TEAM TO HOUND. 

If May didn't stage for this free, the Ump would have paid HtB without a shred of Prior

Had a clear view and was watching the controlling Ump, it was obvious he was itching to pay HtB, clearly no prior, but was waiting the long slow theatrical wait, then I think got a call in the ear from another Ump

They were egging on North by that stage

So staging Yes, but better than alternative gift to North

Yep. Mountain, molehill

Wouldn't have been noticed had the media not worked themselves in to a lubed-up frenzy.

Love the way Lethal smacked down Tom Morris last night. Morris talked like an excited child, Matthews talked with the wisdom of experience

Settle down.

Over the top outrage

And how do we feel about Chris Scott saying such things? 

He says it all the time so a bit passe now.

Just look at the current top 4. HQs wet dream.

This is a ‘disgraceful’ act?

The word must have a new meaning, just lol.


Burk-ley now saying May should have been suspended.... Why stop there?  Melbourne should be removed from the league for this.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
