2019 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

StevenMay2019Review.png

The former Gold Coast captain had limited impact in 2019. He was underdone early and missed matches due to injury and through suspension and managed only eight games in his debut season with the club. When he was up and about however, he showed some encouraging glimpses of what he can bring to the club when injury-free and with a full preseason under his belt.

    As long as he turns up to Pre-Season super fit and at the correct weight this time I won't have an issue.

    I don't mind him having a sneaky beer...just not like how he got caught out this year. Have a quiet beer celebrating a win not while injured with the team struggling. It wasn't a good look. However, I think he has learnt his lesson.

     

    I can't help but like Steven May. He shows passion and care. Particularly after that interesting argument/discussion with fellow Demons defender Sam Frost during one of the games.

     

    He is a former Captain at the Suns and can be a leader at the Demons. But actions will speak louder than words.

    He needs to keep super fit and hopefully have better luck with injuries in 2020.

     

    I wish Steven May all the best in 2020 and hope he has a wonderful year both on and off the field. Both the club and Steven May deserve success but they need to work hard to earn it.

    If Steven May can get fit, and stay fit and on the field, he will be worth something near what we paid for him.  He's a long way behind the ledger right now.

    He’s clearly an elite player. Maybe he had some adjustment to moving thousands of kilometers and so did his relationship. Who wouldn’t?

    He’ll be great next year.

    The first quarter against Collingwood (second game) was top shelf. If he stays fit and plays that next year we'll get good value.

    we saw little bursts of how good he can be for us, we just need him to turn up to pre season in great shape, have a complete pre season and hit the season hard, injury free, i'm confident he will, and if he does i'm confident he will have an All Australian standard season

    Give him responsibilities. Put him in the Leadership Group with Max

    for the Team not to be ready last Christmas cannot happen again. It’s not as if we lost a close one to The Eagles. 

    I will never understand how this Club always gets ahead of itself....

    Seems that way. 

    Once Goodwin admitted that on Monday night, he should have walked

    That is admission of Fail

    Owes us more than any other player on the list. 

    I expect him to get to AA level form next year. 

    He's a proud man. We'll be a totally different side if Lever and May play 22 games together.

    Yes Steve He is one I am really looking forward to see playing next year and smashing some forwards.

  • Quote

    Will be an absolute gun defender and one that I think can really add to the leadership group. From that article in The Age this year it seemed like he was in a pretty rough spot but expect him to bounce back big time next year. 

  • Quote

    May will be a key to 2020.  If he’s on field, then we have a better stronger defence.  

    Without May (and with Frosty jettisoned) , our defence against big forwards looks weak.

    his season was an absolute disgrace and he has a lot to make up for after the way he was clearly not ready for the pressure placed upon him in the melbourne football bubble

    tbh i was a bit disappointed we went for him rather than going to the draft with pick 6 - i never really rated him as a footballer as he seems a touch undersized for a modern key position defender at just 193cm, when a lot of the big key forwards these days are TALL

    that said, he is clearly a super talent and i'm really hoping i'm wrong and he has a big 2020 and beyond

  • Quote

    Needs a HUGE summer. King is right, he will be under immense pressure next year if his body doesn't hold up.

  • Quote

    Yes I'm with most on May.....super talent but I hope he doesn't do what Jordan Lewis kept doing, that's getting reported. Sprooking about his leadership qualities & then letting his team mates down continually.

    Work your [censored] off son.......you need to be cherry ripe at round 1.

    Will be a good player in 2020. No problems there. The question is was the investment a good one.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
