    How would either of them have known? They were at the G, May was in hospital and Lever in particular up to that point had been a bit preoccupied with something else. I doubt they had anything more than guesswork or third hand information to go off. Goodwin certainly didn’t know with certainty in the press conference.

    Lever didn't know.

    Robertson said it all in his post match on ground interview with Lever.

    Verbatim... "May is ok, just a cut, getting stitches"

    Saying that out aloud on the mic for everyone in the ground to hear, leaves it pretty easy to assume he'd had a call or an update re May.

    Next time should probably keep his mouth shut as we've obviously found out now that he was completely wrong.

    I think one thing may be there seems to be no general admission anymore so far this year and the cheapest tickets at the G are like $65 when i looked it up....thats a pretty big jump in 2 years. Pretty sure it was 30ish 2019. I also think no gate sales on the day would be having an effect, if that is still in place?

    GA tickets are $27. Entire top level except MCC was closed (as you no doubt saw if watching) and there were heaps of gaps down the bottom, so should have been tickets available today. Online though, not at gate

    Maybe you were looking in wrong spot?

    He got an elbow to the face from Hawkins at full force as Hawkins tried to get the ball away. Think it was just an accident, but given the injury you could argue it was reckless. He looked a mess.

    Thanks for that. Fingers crossed May is ok. Hawkins has form with 'accidental' elbows, so I'd definitely be on reckless side of fence

    My fingers are like icicles, so not going to try and navigate my way back through thread. 

    Can someone with benefit of replays tell me what happened to May? His contest with Hawkins was right in front of me, but it looked pretty innocuous until he didn't get up

    Made a last minute decision to head along today and got here just as the match started. Two big things already stand out so far.

    1. Shattered no bar or bacon and egg rolls for the practice match!

    2. Ben Brown must play next week. Get him in!

    1. They have both in the area marked "Bar", "Canteen" & "Coffee" at car park end  ?

    2. Agreed!

    That was the worst umpiring I can recall. And that's saying something 

    If it hasn't already been said, those were the same three umpires that did the Brisbane v Geelong game last week.

    It's getting better, would really love to see Brown getting closer to footy action. Clearly the round 3-4 estimates were very optimistic for both him and Weid.

    Just said on the news that he'll be back in full training from tomorrow and hopes to get some VFL minutes if not this weekend then next.

    Fair weather supporters can [censored] right off imo.

    You either support the club or you don't.  

    If there was ever a time for people to be champing at the bit to get to a game - having not been able to attend for so long - that was it.
