    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

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
