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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
