You would think if it was really serious he would need to stay a few days for surgery. Fingers crossed!

they wouldn't do surgery (if required) until swelling goes down (3-7 days)

How would either of them have known? They were at the G, May was in hospital and Lever in particular up to that point had been a bit preoccupied with something else. I doubt they had anything more than guesswork or third hand information to go off. Goodwin certainly didn’t know with certainty in the press conference.

Lever didn't know.

Robertson said it all in his post match on ground interview with Lever.

Verbatim... "May is ok, just a cut, getting stitches"

Saying that out aloud on the mic for everyone in the ground to hear, leaves it pretty easy to assume he'd had a call or an update re May.

Next time should probably keep his mouth shut as we've obviously found out now that he was completely wrong.

Indeed he should have. And as if we’d have subbed off arguably our least replaceable player and send him to hospital if it was just a cut. The club doctor could do stitches in the rooms. 

I love Robbo but he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.

What an effective and clever way to display a stat!


Anyone know what his contract status is? Turns 30 before next season commences but is coming off two AA-level seasons (robbed of one jacket) and surely has many good years left in him. 

I could even him playing the next 2-3 as the team's full back, then another 2-3 in the Hibberd role or even the Salem role. A 35-year-old May would still be good enough for AFL footy.

Love the man. After 10 years and 168 games and he finally plays his first finals game. 
 

And he keeps Joe Daniher to nil. Nudda. Zilch. 
 

May has the great qualities of a team man. He has respect. He know what it takes and how to cherish the moment. He shakes his opponents hand before and after the game. He has the maturity to help lift others around him. The May- Lever combo was a master stroke of strategy by Goodwin and Mahoney.  It cost us high draft picks but these guys still have years ahead and complete our team.  
 

May richly deserved to be ALL AUSTRALIAN.  He is a gun and absolutely love him in the mighty red and blue.  

The look on Mayzie's face tells it all, he has a look of inner peace now, as opposed to the look of absolute despair he wore when he played for the Suns.

I often thought he was going to cry and he looked like he was carrying the weight of the side on his shoulders.

 

 

Definitely a true leader. Has matured into an excellent player plus an excellent teammate and leader.  
Love his drive and he is obviously enjoying his footy at the Demons.

Maybe one or two other success starved Suns players may decide to follow Steven to the red and blue.

Steven May for MFC pick 10. Yes. Offer him a 5 year deal.

This thread showed how keen the majority of DL were to get May. He’s proven to be a key part of our success.  The great value of a strong key defender, able to shutdown the gorilla forwards from other teams. 

The recruitment of Lever and May has helped create us as the #1 defensive team in the comp.  

May is also a leader.  A very successful trade despite the media pundits giving us grief over the “Suns getting Ben King” .  The premiership is proof enough for me that May’s recruitment was a masterstroke.  


Thirsty lad.  If he is in the Top End he will need it.

I wonder how his hammie is going.

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
