Sent straight to the Tribunal.

Given his concussion history maybe he should miss 2 games anyway.

    I really disagree with it, had eyes for the ball, didn’t jump, lift his shoulder or elbow, and was going for the ball. It’s not ideal but both going for the ball. That’s a football accident.

    I posted this in the MRO thread but more relevant here.

    'The still photo showing May's shoulder into Evans is the result of May being 11 cm taller than Evans so unfortunately any contact was never going to end well for Evans.

    The height difference and both players going for the ball means the contact was Accidental not Careless so the charge should be dismissed. May has oft offended but he doesn't deserve to go for that.

    To have any hope of having the charge thrown out we must NOT use Adrian Anderson'.

    Just let May rest for the remainder of the year regardless of the number of weeks he gets.

    Put in new blood and see what happens and yes I know Goodwin will not do this but it’s the perfect opportunity.

    BTW it was a football act but given the automatic penalty given to our players cause they play for MFC it will be 3 weeks.

    I have been a demon footy tragic since Dicko was starring on the wing (RIP).

    Stupid, crazy and misguided tribunal decisions that affect Dees such as this week's May incident and the brutish manner in which Angus's career was stopped have caused me to lose much of my interest and affection for the great game (but never for the dees).

    Talk about adding a Tassie team after adding the northern teams this century might just tip me over the edge. How much garbage can a footy tragic withstand?

    I want May to play on to play the Pies in rnd 23.

    But if Gleeson chairs the Tribunal he will up the penalty from the minimum 3 weeks to 4 so that May can't play that game. The way their season is going top 2 spot or even top 4 may rest on that final game against us.

    And we know how Gleeeson takes a hard line on Dees cases to help the Pies: Maynard/Brayshaw, Kozzie/Moore. So wouldn't be surprised if Maynard gets 4 weeks.

    There are 5 rounds left and we play Pies in the last, so in your premise May gets 5.

    Arithmetic was never my strong point 😁

    I wouldn't put anything past Gleeson!

    May never gets the benefit of the doubt!

    straight to the tribunal is as it should be; either he'll cop 3-5 or he'll get off

    i think the latter is the 'correct' result but can definitely see a big suspension to push him into 2026 as just as likely an outcome

    If that was petracca he would’ve got nothing. Free kick for high (incidental) but thats it. Carry on.

    The adjudicating of this game is really messing with my love for it.

    Guerra or smith very very very privately need to raise this and if no change need to very very very very publicly raise it

    He’ll have the support of every supporter and club president who is not Collingwood

    The final bounce of the ball before the collision was straight up and this meant Evan’s got there first. May obviously was expecting contact but a different bounce would have meant May was there first.

    Its so ridiculous. 9 times out of 10 he doesnt break his face and May doesnt get cited for anything because it was an accident. So its based on outcome.

    Meanwhile had May got seriously injured by a knee to the temple (which can actually kill you) , the AFL would say thats an accident. Either the outcome matters or it doesnt. Any contact to the head if the player gets concussed should be a suspension and tdk should be looking at a 3 week penalty also.

    Just as you can still bunp but lbe punished if it goes bad, you can take a specky but still get suspended if the player you're kneeing in the head gets concussed. Basic logic.

    Tribunal means 3 weeks minimum

    I think he should get zero as he was contested the ball

    6 weeks it is!

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
