    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!

    Did Maynard have clenched fists when he slaughtered Gus?

    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.

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

    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?

    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

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
