Would've expected him to break his pinky finger, this makes it sound more like he got glassed and didn't clean the wound
Or hit May in the mouth and copped a tooth

I feel like if he did any significant damage to May he would have been suspended too. It's funny May was suspended and Melksham wasn't, unless the suspension was specifically for drinking while recovering from a concussion.Or hit May in the mouth and copped a tooth

Not so sure about that, maybe post 60s I could agree, I don't know enough prior but we were fairly consistent in performance with a poor 4-5 years in the mid 30s.If we're going for truth bombs I think we have been that way our whole history, aside from two or three periods where we fell into the thrall of a strong personality that was ahead of their time.
Let's look at dynasty teams against top 4 opponents over the stretch in H&A, because that doesn't pass the eye test:
Richmond 2017-20: 9-7. This is mostly due to their domination of the Cats after the 2017 QF. A positive record but not really a domination.
Hawthorne 2012-15: 12-7. This is more like a domination in reality.
Geelong 2007-11: 15-6. This is also a domination.
Maybe it was recency bias of Richmond tending to lose to challengers that I thought it wasn't really a domination. If Melbourne continue to be a dynastic side we can revisit in 2025/6 to see
I considered that, but then I really couldn't be ****ed doing it. Pretty sure the Hawks lost one to Freo at home.It's closer than I thought.
Would be great to get a line by line look at the matches, when they were played and where.
On AFL360 last night they said the restaurant reception desk was broken due to May-Melksham. Must have been a decent scuffle

His face doesn't look particularly caved in in the apology video on the club's website..the jungle drums say May , may have a facial fracture which the suspension is covering for
they also say Melksham has been on many benders during his time out of the team and May was trying to extricate him from a fight he'd gotten himself into - who knows, maybe the comment escalated from there
grain - salt
I considered that, but then I really couldn't be ducked doing it. Pretty sure the Hawks lost one to Freo at home.
Dunno, maybe a small jaw fracture or something isn't outwardly visibleHis face doesn't look particularly caved in in the apology video on the club's website..
May’s remorse for ‘bad error of judgement’
Steven May has addressed his one-week suspensionwww.melbournefc.com.au
Melky has a boxing background. Not a surprising result.So May took a couple of swings at Jake; Jake slipped them & dropped May with one punch. Nice work.
Martin shoves a guy in the back and gets a goal.A couple of dubious game changing decisions in favour of Tigers
no free to Butters for getting head slammed into ground. Free to Tigers next to point post...Martin shoves a guy in the back and gets a goal.
Bet he would have nailed all 5 against us!In fairness though, if Shai Bolton kicks 32 instead of 0.5 there's absolutely no debate.
If Shai Bolton ever kicks 32 I'll give you a million bucksIn fairness though, if Shai Bolton kicks 32 instead of 0.5 there's absolutely no debate.
Melksham punched May in Greville St on Sunday night, after taking offence at May's attitude toward another player, Joel Smith.
During a dinner at Entrecote of at least six Melbourne players, one player directed what he intended to be a playful comment toward Smith relating to the injury Smith suffered in the finals last year, which ultimately opened up a position in the team which went on to win the premiership.
Melksham verbally intervened, suggesting everyone back off with the sledging. May didn't feel the need to do so, which created tension that built up to the point of Melksham hitting May outside the restaurant. Melksham, like Smith, was not part of the Demons' flag team.
