Excellent news!!
I hope it was Alan Richardson who gave him the news, you’re out for the game with my old mob champ!
We are a sneaky chance of winning this game now.
I think we are, been ordinary without him, still would rather beat them without the excuses.
We were already a good chance in my opinion. Up to our eyeballs now

I am really hoping for some phone footage of May giving it to Melksham. No way they report this to the club unless there is some footage or Melksham copped it? Think my imagination is going a bit hard.
I think it was a bit of slapping and a few tears
Yeah cause Melkaham can box haha.

Well he can't flipping play anymore. The great part of this is that they still might pick him this week!
Huge bonus for us, as without May the D's back six definitely struggle, as they don't have anyone who can really play his role....

"What we learned over a couple of beers at the pub, our local at the time, maybe that is when we nutted out 2021 and we were able to go on to what we did."
Wonder what they learned this time around?

Melbourne players Steven May and Jake Melksham have been slammed by the club after an incident at a posh Prahran restaurant.
The players clashed at 9pm Sunday at Entrecote restaurant, on a weekend when May was out with concussion.
He has been suspended for a week by the club.
The Herald Sun put questions to the Demons last night about the incident, with the club releasing a statement just after 11.30am today.
Melbourne general manager of football performance Alan Richardson said the club was incredibly disappointed by the incident.
“Following a dinner on Sunday evening, Jake and Steven informed us of a scuffle that took place after a lighthearted disagreement between the pair escalated,” he said.
“Both Jake and Steven had been drinking at dinner and are incredibly remorseful that things played out the way they did.
“Given Steven is still under the AFL concussion protocols from Round 11, he was aware that under club guidelines he should not have been drinking.”
Richardson said May would be out this week following the incident.
“The leadership group has recommended to impose a one-match ban on Steven, a decision which has been endorsed by the club’s broader leadership. This will make him unavailable for both AFL and VFL selection,” he said.
“Steven and Jake will also complete community service through one of the club’s community partners to ensure they understand the responsibility and impact they have as role models within the community.
“Over the past three years, Steven has developed into one of our most important on-field leaders, and while the impact of not having him available for selection is significant, what is more significant to us is our culture and the commitment we have to live by our values.
“Steven is extremely remorseful and accepts his actions were completely out of step with the expectations the club and his teammates have of him. He accepts the sanction handed down and makes no excuse for his poor judgment.
“We are proud of the culture we have built over the past few years and while we are disappointed with Steven’s behaviour, we back in his character and will support him to ensure he is armed to make better decisions for himself and the football club moving forward.”
A witness said the players started to “fight” inside but it “spilt outside.”
A manager at Entrecote restaurant declined to comment when asked if the club had apologised.
There were up to a dozen players at the restaurant, before tempers frayed.
The flag favourites had just lost their second game in a row, with a defeat against the Sydney Swans at the MCG on Saturday night.
Entrecote restaurant is an institution among Melbourne’s social set.

Melbourne glamour starting to fade. A weakened defence goes against their game plan so could work in our faovur. In some aspects, I'm glad we didn't get May as it's forcing us to find a proper key defender and not rush the process.

Pretty easy selection this week I imagine

Cox requires two defenders on him. Could imagine him repeating the 2018 Big Freeze when he nuked them. QB is one of the games I look forward to each year and if we beat them, I'll be pleased with this team.The two players that help Melbourne's structure at either end of the ground, with May down back, and McDonald up forward, both missing....
