- On Saturday night at the MCG, Steven May was referred directly to the AFL Tribunal for rough conduct, and will miss Round 20 regardless of the outcome.
- Both May and Evans streamed toward a loose ball, with Evans arriving first but May making high contact, leading to a dangerous collision.

- Following the hit, May failed a concussion test and will miss Round 20 regardless, as confirmed by Simon Goodwin, Melbourne coach, last Tuesday.
- Heading into the hearing, Leigh Montagna called it 'a fascinating test case for the AFL on what is acceptable on a football field,' as May faces a potential suspension.
