I've been very impressed with Steven May and I cannot wait to see him run out in the red and blue come Round 1. Kudos to the recruitment staff for getting this done now before the vultures swooped. We got a huge asset to our backline and the team.

Didn't know he was a pilot to boot. Another tick from me.

    Love that Lever was on his case about coming to the club. I suspect the same would have gone on with Max and Preuss. Says a lot to me that these guys want solid teammates around them and are welcoming challengers into the fold.

    I much prefer recruiting May over Gaff, lets say.

    100% agree. He has a steely resolve and love the quality of the person. His potential is huge considering the Talent he has around him at the MFC this year. He has mentioned in the past how he'd love to play in the style of Alex Rance but was limited due to the young backline at the Suns. How exciting!

    Indeed, sounds like a quality person. You can’t underestimate the impact on a footy club with the likes of this type of person coming on board. Another leader on and off the field. Exciting stuff.

    I'd much prefer both given that Gaff would have been a free hit through FA and it wasn't one or the other.

    I think we can cover Gaffs skills, more than May's.

    I think Harmes improvement, and Spargo, Fritta, etc,  we might have lost some interest in Gaff, which we might have had for him during 2017...

    Salary cap spent elsewhere, I presume.

    I'm very happy with how we are recruiting, over the past few years.  and still happy, agreeing with all the outs... and Ins.

     

    Now we are slowly becoming a hardened tough unit of men...  only a couple yet to show they are men... yet.

    Was great to hear of his respect for Nev and Hibbo (the new Rod Grinter).  It was mildly impresive that he has memorised his new team mates numbers in realitively quick time.  Sounds like this era's Danny Hughes is settling in well.

    All up, I actually thought it was a really well put together segment.  ...mostly fluff, but it all sounded really articulate, intelligent and genuine comming from May - how did this guy get to become a footballer and a backman at that??!!

    Don’t worry,  it won’t take him long to find out what a beauty number 31 is.

    Fully agree, however I sincerely doubt the words 'quality', 'person' and 'Alex Rance' should ever be seen in the same post, let alone postcode.

    Kolo will have you quickly forgetting that Gaff was even a possibility.

    Every photo I have seen of May kicking his ball drop is exceptional. Will be a handy kicker for us this year.

    It would be OK if the word 'not' was also in there ...

    Looking sharp in a Demons jumper. 

     

    Best looking guernsey in the AFL.  Carlton's a close second.

    Be still my beating heart. A) he looks unreal in it and B) how good does that jumper look. The dark blue is exceptional. 

    May and our defence (if they all stay healthy) will be the difference during the season and deep into finals.

    He strikes me as a combination of Rod Grinter and Neita, I’m not sure why.

    A bit like ours, it depends on which version.

    That cleaner version with the rounded off monogram they wore from 1998 onwards seemed a bit artificial for mine.

    As for ours, our current strips are perfect. The red and blue from the late 80's to mid 90's and the royal blue for an occasional nostalgia trip.

    I haven't seen a player warm up to a club as much as May. He generally looks excited and it shows through his involvement in the media as well as his videos he does with the club. Will be a passionate general down back. Awesome pick up.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
