    Adrian's nine reasons™

    1 - May contesting the ball

    2 - Legitimately expected to get to the ball first. Has his hands out, expecting he can get to the ball first

    3 - Both travelling at pace, reasonable for both to do so

    4 - Unexpected bounce of the ball on its fourth bounce

    5 - By the time he realises Evans is there, it’s too late to slow or change momentum significantly

    6 - Doesn’t move off line

    7 - Doesn’t tuck elbow in or rotate, doesn’t jump off ground.

    8 - Attempts to slow at the end, even though it’s too late.

    9 - May significantly taller than Evans

    There was an obvious 10th ground.

    May is not running at Evans, he running to the ball and it is only when Evan’s comes from the side in the last split second, that there could be any knowledge or chance of a collision.

    For good measure here is another.

    If May was concussed and Evan’s wasn’t in this collision, would Evans be up before the Tribunal, as he would have done exactly what May is being accused of.

    Anderson: May's attempt to win the ball was entirely realistic.

    Anderson says the Dees "fundamentally disagree" with the idea it was clear Evans was going to get there first from a few steps out.

    We are screwed. Even if the poll inferred 99% of the general football public believes there’s no case to answer, this court is permanently compromised.

    don’t even get me started about my friend AA either

    For all Anderson’s previous sins, he’s laid down a compelling case this evening

    May should get off here

    I thought May played it well too. Said he was surprised not to win the ball, the first few bounces were skidding and then it jumped up on the last bounce

    Not confident at all despite the actual facts. We have Adrian “Hamilton Burger” Anderson advocating to Jeff “Maynard could not have reasonably foreseen the violent impact on Brayshaw” Gleeson!

    Does anyone have Anderson’s stat percentage of tribunal successes?

    If it's not a bump there's no case to answer.

    If the ball can bounce unpredictably then how is May to predict if he will get to it first or not?

    The AFL is a clown show, I'm really growing to hate this sport/competition. Amateur hour all round. Can't wait for the NFL to start again, so much better than the AFL these days.

    Yep hanging for the NFL and NBA. AFL has lost the plot.

    Clear difference would be Evans got to the ball first. If he concusses May in the process of getting the ball it’s incidental contact - no case to answer and rightly so. This one is going to be harsh of May as he’s playing the ball almost the whole time, but when you’re late you need to basically either not hit the head or do everything possible to avoid it.

    What would happen if May got to the ball first and the exact same collision happened?

    "The AFL argued that Steven May should have known Evans would get to the ball first."

    “May should have known even if he did t know that Evan’s would get to the ball first”

    AFL tribunal is clutching at straws

    Very strange

    I'm getting the feeling that the AFL are going through the motions and have no idea how to deal with this incident.

    In years to come I think they'll treat concussion like umpire contact. Cause a concussion even accidentally = 3 weeks. The outcome will be that players will be even more reluctant to make contact

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • 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.
