WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - STEVEN MAY

Is May actually any good?

The trade all all depends on how keen Hogan is to go back to the $hithole Fremantle club.

If he wants to be a life long loser then well and good. Go there. 

If he wants a chance at the big time and is prepared to leave Mummy in Perth then he stays in the world’s most liveable city.

He might regret being a mummy’s boy (and for money). 

Ask retired AFL players: was the money that good or would you rather a premiership to your name?

I’m sure I know the answer.

In every case.

    I'd be happy if TMac kicked 10 goals on his younger brother..

    Very noticeable shift in rhetoric from May camp in past 24 hours as the reality of Hogan staying at Melbourne hit home. 

    Dees out of the race. Bidding opened up to the floor.

    Wanna bet? $20 says May is a Demon this time tomorrow.

    With May now being touted as happy to go anywhere in Victoria, it is time for our team to lay down the final ultimatum to Freo - right now, give us two first rounder, and Brayshaw of Cerra, or GOGF right now.

    Deal or no deal.

    Maybe we should get President Trump to do our negotiating ??

    I’ll do it!

    It's very sad watching you flap around like a dying fish.

    You've entirely missed the point, and art, of trolling if you're the one that ends up making all of the effort. You're just trying pathetically hard.

    This is just painful to watch. Please stop, it's making me sad.

    It’s a contrarian, minority opinion. 

    What’s the problem? Does difference and non-conformity frighten you? That to me actually is sad.

    I'd like to play poker with you.

    Can anyone misread a situation so badly ?

    There's no skill, art or guile in this sentence.

    It's like a tail ender facing 1000 throw downs a day in the nets before closing his eyes and slogging as soon as he gets to the middle.

    200 posts a day isn't trolling. It's a cry for help.

    Look, anyone that has a clue about footy knows May is quality and should be back to his best in a good side like ours.

    It's really simple. 

    Those that don't rate him clearly don't watch enough of him or are just clueless. 

    One can only laugh when posters start talking about which opposition player kicked what amount of goals on him. It's just massive lols.

    If one's understanding of football only goes that far, there's no point in engaging further with them.

    May is quality and is a clear upgrade on our current defenders. I'm not sure I've seen many posts suggesting otherwise. 

    My main concern is that I don't think the value of pick 5 is the same as the value May adds to the team vs OMac over the course of his career. That is based on:

    - we rarely had kpf's kick multiple goals against us this year (and when they did it was often lack of midfield pressure);

    - we have Lever coming back into the defense; and

    - OMac performed well this year, is underrated on this site, and will only get better next year and the year after. 

    But I understand that others (list management included) perhaps see the value of May in the short term as much higher than pick 5.

    It’s been about 20 a day, most of which are spent answering questions and replying to prods, pokes and insults from aggrieved fanboys like you. 

    There was no intention to be guileful or artful in my last reply to you. Was just pointing out your fear and prejudice towards non-conformism. 

    If that hit a nerve so be it.

    Eade on May: He's a really good player. He can play tall but where he can be best used is on the medium types like Robbie Gray that can be hard to match up on

    It's this attribute that has gotten me around to bringing May on board. 

    OMac isn't fast/agile enough, Frost isn't smart enough, Nev isn't tall enough, and as well as acombination of physical attributes that make them unsuitable,  we don't want Lever/Hibb/Salem/Lewis tied down from their usual role as interceptors/distributors.

    You're underrating Nevs ability to play tall..

    Do we have to use pick 6 for May?

    Is it possible we could trade our next year first round and 23 for May?

     

    KK will be steak knives

     

    If we can go to the draft with 6 that's a big win

    Or negotiate 8 and 13 with Adelaide and try and keep 13?

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
