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

    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.

    I love this new lawyer. He sounds like a Saints fan who’s had enough of the AFL bullying the little guy.

    Is he available to play FF?

    Rush KC is a much better bet than Anderson, who has lost most of the appeals he has run.

    I like his style, going in hard:

    “Rush (Dees): To say the player is negligent because a ball may or may not bounce in a particular way is... I won't use the word I was going to say. It's totally unreasonable.”

    Apparently we argued randomly the ball bounce didn't pop up for Milne in the grand final against Collingwood.

    I like it.

    I hate Collingwood and its completely unexpected

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #7 Jack Viney

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
