Look he just needs to tone down the aggression in the sense we don't want him getting suspended all the time. But he will be a great addition to our backline. 

He is a mature player who can hold his own down back. 

He was on that trade talk show on ch9 last night and said what stood out was goodwin talking to him about what Melbourne and the coaching group can do for his game personally and for him. Said that's what he was most impressed with. 

Anyway I look forward to see him do his stuff next year.

Heres the interview.

 

Simon Goodwin needs to write a book, so I can learn first hand from the master. What an effing legend.

BTW - welcome to the club Mr May. You've carried yourself beautifully through this period and I can't wait to see you contribute to what will be the meanest defence in the league coupled with the highest scoring forward line. I'm changing my username to Big Kev. I'm excited.

I vaguely remember roosu saying something similar in his meeting with goody, it was mostly about culture and so on rather than just football. I think we are onto a winner with goody 

 

Being from GCS I don't know much about him but after watching his highlights reel he looks a tough customer. Would look to be good addition.

He goes ok. Has a big appetite for the game...snacks on forwards I'm told :)

The MFC welcomes a new indigenous player to the fold.

 I just hope that when he makes his debut for the club that we do better than Gold Coast on his debut with them - it was the game against Essendon at the Docklands when the Bombers kicked 15.4.94 to 0.1.1 in the first quarter.

Helps when you're on the good stuff, mate.

He has played on the forward line before so if one of our KPF go down he is an option to replace them since our KPB stocks are plentiful.

I reckon the idea of putting May forward is akin to putting Tom McDonald back. It's not going to happen. Particularly, as we've just paid an early first rounder for him to strengthen our defence. He's a better player than OMac or Frost, so he's already in before them.

Yes please 

Either he doesn't like the Lions or he fires up for big rivalry games. Can't wait to see him front up to Lynch Anzac Eve :)

May is a tough character with purpose. I reckon 'Far Cough' sounds appropriate.

There's no doubt May would have taken notice of the way we play footy and part of the attraction in coming to us would be to play alongside some the other tough and uncompromising types we have on our list. 

Anyone watching us against Geelong and the way our youngsters made Selwood, Ablett and Dangerfield earn every touch would have been impressed. None of our young guys back away from heat. 

May and Pruess will not only make us walk even taller, but they'll walk taller themselves. 

We now have the toughest side in the comp. Of that I'm sure and oppo sides won't like it. 

I like this line in the MFC release just emailed to me:

"The addition of Kolodjashnij will enhance Melbourne’s transition play from the backline, while defender May is one the biggest names switching clubs this off-season."

I haven't checked, but I suspect Kolodjashnij will have been the biggest name, while May will likely have been the shortest.

...and he can get it, run fast and kick it well 'steve', that's got to be a good thing.

We not only get May and Pruess but also Oliver with 2 new shoulders.

I thought the odd tackle was slipping toward the end of the season.

At least now Viney has some he can do tackling drills with.

You can also add the following players to your list of 'tacklers':  Harmes, Jetta, Vandenberg, Oliver

Could be brutal. New club rule. No killing teammates at training. 

I have to admit to not seeing a lot of May playing. Watching the $un$ play was never high on my list of stuff to do. 

He is a seriously big unit who can take a mark and hit a target. 

The fact we have no picks in the 1st round of the draft (yet) does concern me, so these 2 from the $un$ simply must be high class. 

Fingers Crossed...

Love seeing a rough tough mean looking head in Demon colours. 

I love tough guys Ernest. We have had so few over the years. We were cream puffs for a long time  AVB at one end and May at the other. No bruise free football for these guys.

I've not noticed Pig take any backward steps either.

We might scare a few teams with our list. Another summer in the gym... Won't be too many boys out on the paddock ;)

If only we could recreate Brent Crosswell and get him to play along side May.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
