Steven May’s three-game ban for brutal collision set to divide the AFL world

Melbourne defender Steven May has been handed a three-game suspension by the AFL tribunal for a brutal collision that left Carlton forward Francis Evans concussed and with a broken nose and chipped tooth. The incident has sparked a debate within the AFL community, with opinions divided on the severity of the punishment. While some argue that the collision was accidental and that May did not intend to cause harm, others believe that the suspension is appropriate given the significant injuries sustained by Evans. The outcome of this case is likely to have wider implications for the game, as the AFL continues to grapple with the issue of player safety and the appropriate handling of on-field incidents.
