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!

[Bang Bang Bang 5,839]

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.
