It seems everybody new that May was overweight and unfit prior to his recruitment other than our football department. Just read Demonland at the time. This has been a high order stuff up.

It is a real worry - can he ever get football fit at this stage? He has a massive challenge ahead and so does the MFC in countering its poor decision-making without complete player assessment.

    What we say on here has absolutely no effect on how the team performs so why worry about what is said.

    Clearly trying to disguise that he’s out of shape, otherwise he’d be wearing something skimpier to show off his body.

    May should be removed immediately from the Demonland banner....

    Should be removed from the club.  Walks into the club as one of our highest paid players and rocks up  to preseason a fat, unprofessional mess.

    Someone mentioned the other day there might be some angst in the playing group about how much other players are getting paid. Who can blame them, wouldnt be surprised if the whole list hates May.

    Augustus sounds about right.

    Don't worry about May, he's a free agent at the end of the year...

    In an AFL360 interview, when shown clips of our club (eg May, Jones, Goodwin) implying 'our standards' are higher than GCS, Dew replied 'players set their own standards' and named GSC players who had, implying May hadn't.

    As a co-cap May should have set the standards for himself and his team.  It seems he didn't and blaming his old club is very poor.   No matter how I look at it May has to take responsibility for himself.

    You have to wonder about our due diligence into his training, game recovery and post injury rehab behaviours.   And the thoroughness of our interviews to determine how committed he was to getting the best out of himself.  Right now it looks like a club sooo desperate that we turned a blind eye to what others could see or could easily be known.

    As an aside, 'our standards' aren't looking too good given the number of players said to have started preseason in less than desirable condition.  Pot.Kettle.Black.  GCS may well have the last laugh...laughing all the way to the bank.

    Re your last paragraph, besides May did we though or were the references to players underdone mean those who had post season opps. Max's interview stated a lot of players posted personal best times during the pre season.

    I interpreted the reports as players in general which may or may not include players with injuries/surgeries. 

    We have quite a few players who had neither and are barely average let alone playing at their best. 

    That some players posted pb's and some were unfit at start of preseason are not mutually exclusive.

    I had a total hip replacement and was back working as a carpenter after 12 weeks.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
