May headed to Tribunal for umpire contact

STEVEN May will become the second player this season to face the AFL Tribunal for making contact with an umpire. The Gold Coast co-captain has been charged with making intentional contact with umpire David Harris during the second term of the Suns' 69-point loss to Melbourne at the Gabba last Saturday night. May cannot accept an early plea and will front the Tribunal on Monday night.

GOLD Coast co-captain Steven May will face the AFL Tribunal on Monday night for making contact with an umpire during the Suns' 69-point loss to Melbourne. Geelong star Tom Hawkins missed Sunday's blockbuster against Collingwood at the Melbourne Cricket Ground after being handed a one-game suspension last Tuesday by the Tribunal for touching umpire Dean Margetts during the second quarter of the Cats' 61-point demolition of Greater Western Sydney in round seven. May's team mate in Sam Day, meanwhile, will miss the clash against Port Adelaide in China after accepting a one-match ban for striking Melbourne defender Neville Jetta. Based on the available video evidence and a medical report from the Demons, the incident, which occurred during the second quarter, was graded as intentional conduct with low impact to the groin. And, three players who were charged following Saturday night's Showdown classic at Adelaide Oval have all accepted their sanctions. Port Adelaide young gun Sam Powell-Pepper has been charged with misconduct against Matt Crouch during the third term and has accepted a $1,500 fine as well as a $1,000 first-offence first for wrestling the Crows reigning best-and-fairest winner. Crouch's wrestling charge with Powell-Pepper is his second such offence, meaning he will be $1,5000 lighter in the hip pocket. Christian only reviewed the Showdown and the Suns-Demons clash to give Port Adelaide and Gold Coast ample time to prepare for next week's match at Jiangwan Stadium in Shanghai. Emerging star Charlie Curnow also touched an umpire in the Blues' drought-breaking 13-point victory over Essendon at the home of football, but is yet to learn his fate. Read the full article

May likely to face Demons

WE are seven rounds into the season and rookie coach Stuart Dew is yet to settle on his best Gold Coast team, but he should regain the services of co-captain Steven May for Saturday afternoon's meeting with Melbourne at the Gabba. May missed last weekend's loss to the Western Bulldogs in Ballarat because of an infection to a broken finger on his left hand.

GOLD Coast coach Stuart Dew says key defender Steven May is all but a certain starter for Saturday afternoon's meeting with Melbourne at the Gabba. But, the Suns defender was at the team's main training session on Wednesday and is in the mix for selection, a welcome boost for Gold Coast who will take on a Melbourne side boasting key marking targets in Jesse Hogan and Tom McDonald. "It's looking likely," said Dew. "Obviously, (he's) just got to tick a couple of boxes today and then Friday, but we'll have a fair idea today. It's looking good." Dew has started his coaching career with three wins from seven starts, but a combination of injuries and players out of form has forced him to alter the line-up on a regular basis. Gold Coast were also without superstar forward Tom Lynch (knee) last week and moved Jack Martin into the attacking 50 and utilised Callum Ah Chee across half-back. Dew said he was yet to determine what his best side looked like. "To be honest, I'm still learning about the group and how they react to adversity and success," Dew said. "In terms of a rock-solid 22 and this is what it would be, not yet." "That's a good thing for the club and also the players to feel like they're still putting their stamp on it." "Us, as a match committee, we see it as quite a broad list, now we'd love to start to narrow that obviously as the season goes along." Read the full article

Daigo and Haruka somehow started going out.

Someone calls Daigo a lolicon and he tells him to shut up.

Daigo tells Haruka that 'These and those things that adults do' will be postponed until Haruka grows up.

Haruka says it's surprising that he's quite self-confident.

Daigo's feelings are hurt and he challenges Haruka into a battle.

although he loves metal types, his heart isn't quite strong as one.

Suns defender Steven May will play his 50th match against the Bulldogs today

[goldcoastfc]

Gold Coast might just have the next great defensive duo. It's a big call at such an early stage of their careers but Steven May and Rory Thompson are showing all the hallmarks of the next great key post defensive duo in the AFL. May, 22, and Thompson, 23, both joined the Suns as forwards, but have developed beautifully into a pair of defensive pillars that should lock up Gold Coast's back 50 for the next decade... Against the Swans' multi-million dollar forward line they were brilliant, with May out-pointing Lance Franklin and Thompson completely blanketing Kurt Tippett...

Suns extend contract of in-form defender Steven May by three years

[goldcoastfc]

It's a bit ridiculous when a fair hit (not late, not high and wasn't sling) rubs out a player for one week. I hope Steven May contests the decision. Get a grip.

In contrast, Daniel Merrett, who's 'bump' was anything but fair (late, high, clearly intentional) has been rubbed out for two weeks. I would consider this fair, but if May was given one week, Merrett sure deserves more than two. Make up your own mind - 

Steven May's MRP sanction

Daniel Merrett's MRP sanction

Brandon Matera can also accept a one-match sanction.

National Storytelling Week - Day 4

Today we read a much-loved story from my childhood, Stephen May’s The Magic Birthday Cake!

A bizarre story of a grandfather who tries to make his granddaughter an amazing birthday cake and ends up putting everything in it…even his house! It never occurred to me as a child how the cake is still normal size despite everything thats in it, or how they survived eating the peculiar concoction…but I guess thats the magic bit!

Our activity was decorating our own magic cakes with stickers!
