Some anger management therapy wouldn't be the worst idea for him if he doesn't do it already. There's no denying his ability, but when someone is so prone to spending time on the sidelines due to infractions it makes it hard to truly rely on him to permanently fill the role we require, as an incident at the pointy end of the season could spell disaster for our backline structure.

I liked the banter between the two of them when Lynch suggested this to May - "big Anzac Eve game, you'll play on me"

May: "Nah - I take the No 1 key forward, I'll be playing on Riewoldt"

If people bothered to read the article they will come to realise that it's actually Alistair Lynch making the statement and not May's old teammate now at the Tigers.

When I posted the article the thought that some might confuse them did cross my mind but then I thought "nah that couldn't possibly happen" yet here we are.

I didn't read it but did find it strange that a teammate of Alex Rance would make that comment. Makes more sense now.

Whoops. 

Here's me assuming it was the Lynch who was an ex teammate, ex co captain, and someone who probably knows May's game as well as anyone in football.

When has that ever been a pre-requisite for posting on here?

sometimes I don’t even watch the 2 minute highlight package of our new recruits before I judge them.

I think Harris Andrews will become the best defender in the league, probably by the end of the year, could also be a gun CHF

Agreed. Super talented tall footballer. The Lions have assembled quite a nice batch of youngsters. If they can hold onto them they’ll challenge us over the next few years.

I expect all clubs to challenge us over the next few years.
But we should do some challenging of our own 1st.

When it was necessary to chase a tall tough key mobile backman to help nullify opposition tall forwards  to our club Goody recognised that S May fit that bill. He is one of the best backs and also versatile.He can link up the ground and can  also make the play by breaking the lines. IMO he will show his worth with  his first challenge being Hawkins next week if selected. No doubt. 

May will possibly stand beside Lynch, Hogan , Josh kennedy  ,B Brown, Franklin sometime this year and some others and believe he will be up to it.

Steven May  the Plug that stops the leaks and J Lever will be back soon enough to help with the mopping up.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    PREGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    After two disappointing back to back losses the Demons have the bye in Round 14 and then face perennial cellar dweller North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday night in Round 15. Who comes in and who goes out?
