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

    Someone should speak to Paul Guerra about our choice of counsel.....

    I’ve never understood why they use counsel for a non-legal matter.

    Wondering if anyone knows why it’s done that way?

    Maysie’s next game will be his 250th. Who knows when that’ll be ☹️

    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!

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
