So why is it so important? <\/p>\n
May\u2019s tribunal case is part of the league\u2019s crackdown on the game\u2019s concerning head knocks. <\/p>\n
If May is found guilty, he\u2019ll face a minimum ban of three matches, however it could be more. <\/p>\n
May\u2019s apologists argue he had only a split-second to decide what to do and had few options, whereas critics \u2013 headlined by North Melbourne premiership player David King \u2013 think a lengthy ban is on the cards.<\/p>\n
King said on Fox Footy that he believed May \u201cpicked off\u201d Evans in an incident from a \u201cbygone era\u201d, and his hit warranted a six-week suspension.<\/p>\n
