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, losing passion for this sport. Never thought it would happen, but the game is almost ruined.

I know not many like the NRL, but since Covid that sport is next level entertainment on the TV.

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

    No case to answer clearly.

    “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

    They are, but i have a feeling that the AFL would buck all trends and make a call on this one.

    Exactly, so considering it was a split second between May getting to the ball first or second and considering the predictability of the bounce if the ball how could they possibly argue that May is culpable for the injury to Evans? It's a farce.

    Doubt that very much as May would have taken possession but still cleaned up Evans on the way through so would have been charged I suspect. Now if May was 12 cm shorter the collision’s impact would have been different and Evans would be on trial.

    Here is an interesting fact.

    The tribunal has run 3 hours, to decide if a bloke did the wrong thing in a split second.

    The player has a split second to do something and yet it takes 3 hours of evidence watching the incident from a hundred angles, multiple times and at multiple speeds and then hours of deliberation to decide that he should or shouldn’t have done what he did in a split second.

    This is a f’n joke.

    They have turned the game into a joke.

    I know it’s not the point but he’ll only be genuinely missed for the Dogs game.

    He can’t play St Kilda irrespective of the suspension and lord help Goodwin if we can’t beat West Coast without May.

    No problem.

    The experts in the media got it wrong.

    The ex players got it wrong.

    The current players got it wrong.

    The Coaches got it wrong.

    No one knows what the f is going on in the game.

    And it was conceded by the AFL that he didn’t bump.

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
