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?

    “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.

    I'll remember where I was the night footy died.

    Although arguably that happened when Maynard walked.

    What a sad day for footy and for all us footy fans, they are truly corrupt. Just hopeless.

    Okay, well if you're going to ban someone for that enough is enough you need to also ban the knee in the back of the head or spleen or lungs as a result of a speccy...go all in or not at all AFL you bunch of [censored] suckers!

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
