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.

    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.

    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

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

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
