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

    • 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.
