Apparently it’s next week. If overturned we should get a weeks suspension credit. To be used at our own discretion

    Memo … topic …What did he do wrong?

    He thinks at all times he is going to win the ball.

    His eyes are on the ball.

    He keeps his line.

    The BOUNCING ball pops up.

    It was a nano second. 0.025/second reaction time.

    HE KEEPS HIS FEET (not off the ground)

    His arms are outstretched to take the footy.

    There was no bump.

    It was contact.

    It was not careless.

    Clear minds must recognise of this

    The reasonable player goes to win the footy and nothing here suggests May ever thought or could have thought differently

    He comes off his player to win the footy

    MELBOURNE MUST APPEAL.

    MELBOURNE MUST WIN THE APPEAL

    Brereton got it right ( for once) when he said you reflexly clench your fists when intending to bump . May’s hands were open at the time of the clash.in an intent to grab the ball.

    Gleeson wants May to foresee where and how the ball will bounce. It’s always been hard to predict. NO BUMP. Not careless. EYES ON THE BALL. No jump. KEEPS HIS LINE. May did everything like he thought he’d win the ball. Everything!

    Bet the flucc he did.

    What did he do wrong?

    The facts

    1. He thinks at all times he is going to win the ball.

    2. His eyes are on the ball.

    3. He keeps his line.

    4. The BOUNCING ball pops up (the bounce is not consistent but it’s reasonable to assume it runs on)

    5. It was a nano second. 0.025/second reaction time.

    6. HE KEEPS HIS FEET (not off the ground)

    7. His arms are outstretched to take the footy.

    8. There was no bump.

    9. It was contact. His body is lowered not raised to head level

    10. It was not careless.

    Clear minds must recognise of this

    The reasonable player goes to win the footy and nothing here suggests May ever thought or could have thought differently

    He comes off his player to win the footy

    It’s a decision making in 0.05/second

    MELBOURNE MUST APPEAL.

    MELBOURNE MUST WIN THE APPEAL

    Just watched it in slow mo from every angle.

    If that's the benchmark for three weeks then we are realistically looking at not a few players being rubbed out for nine to twelve on a regular basis.

    Absolutely ridiculous.

    What gives AFL.

    Why the inconsistency?

    That's a fine or week at worse.

    Nup. It's a fine. And there certainly wasn't intent.

    Were it so the bloke would have been knocked out.

    • 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?
