Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 15 - Demons v North Sat June 22nd 7:30pm AEST (MCG)

[CoastersFlag No.5]

May was holding the ball got spun around 3 times umpire should have called it.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

We need to talk about players playing for dangerous tackles.

May’s head did not hit the ground in the tackle - the flung it further to make sure it did, then held his head.

Give them a week for staging and it will stop

 

[Tjblues]

Disgraceful cheating from May.

Bad umpiring, but says everything you need to know about the character of Steven May

. What a pathetic display

 

[BringFevBack2021]

I think the commentary were told not to comment too much on the staging for frees but this one is as blatant as it gets

He’s wrapped up, taken to ground then he stops and thinks “yeah reckon I can milk the campaigner” and leans his head into the ground, then grabs his head

Hahahahaha

the most unlikeable player ever?

 

[p4p1]

replay not doing May any favours.

 

[Hoops]

Will May be fined?

 

[TheWeapon]

Gee the umpire is going to feel sheepish when he sends that "dangerous tackle" to the tribunal only to see May get suspended for staging

 

[Elixuh]

To be fair to May he doesn’t have the brain cells to lose so should be protected

 

[lizard man]

Clarko looks like he needs a holiday

 

[Ghossein]

live footage of May receiving contact

 

[mumblingpie]

And this is a reason why Melbourne are hated so much

 

[The 747]

Won't happen but I would be quite happy to see May (and any others that are as blatant as that) cop a suspension.

 

[Spiral_Out]

We used to vilify players that flopped and umpires would not pay them frees for acting for the free, à la Lindsay Thomas and before media started harping on about Ginnivan not getting paid frees, even though he purposefully drops his body and lifts his arm into tackles, he was not being paid the frees because he acted for them.

And that's a good thing.


Now with this dangerous tackle horseshit, ass head players like May will hold their head and drive their head into the ground purposefully, players also know how to manipulate their body to encourage the tackler to swing them and they use that momentum to create the illusion it was a dangerous tackle.


We need to, as the fans, vilify and point out these players, because if we don't, our sport will become like soccer, just acting embarrassing bullshit.

 

[Dee Train]

Hopefully that staging by May will make the AFL change the rule to stop that kind of crap

 

[YeoShuey]

Unsure how much I have heard “High tackle. #FreeKickMelbourne” tonight

 

[p4p1]

Steven May the most unlikeable player ever?

Not many players I recall getting dropped by multiple team mates.

 

[William Caresser]

This umpiring is fn appalling

 

[TheKanga]

These umps **** me

 

[Gavin Excell]

Won't happen but I would be quite happy to see May (and any others that are as blatant as that) cop a suspension.

The AFL are too scared to suspend a name.player for staging

 

[rye]

melbourne needing umpire favours to beat north pretty big fall from grace for a team that was supposed to be a dynasty

 

[BallaratBulldog]

I think Melbourne have it won now

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

That May free was pathetic.

The umpire waited a good 10 seconds to pay a dangerous tackle

 

[windyhill]

That’s draper levels of stupidity xerri.

 

[Torz]

Another awful free kick.
