The AFL will investigate Melbourne star Steven May's alcohol-fuelled restaurant fight with teammate Jake Melksham that has embarrassed the reigning premiers.
"The AFL confirms it is looking into the incident between Steven May and Jake Melksham that transpired on Sunday evening," the AFL said in a statement."As professional footballers, as people, we expect better and while the club has taken the matter extremely seriously, the AFL is currently conducting its own investigation.""It's a poor look," McLachlan said at a press conference in Hobart.
"Max Gawn, he's embarrassed, it's unacceptable. I think Max is one of our great leaders and I agree with him."Melksham and May had both been drinking at the dinner with several teammates, when what captain Gawn described as "hurtful banter" escalated into the "horrible act" of a physical fight.
