2019 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

[Demonland 64,408]

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.

[Coq au vin 754]

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.

[Supermercado 2,609]

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

[Dwight Schrute 16,722]

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

[Jara 1,149]

Pray that he comes good 

Currently he owes us, big time.

[grey wolf 226]

Pick 4 in my best 22 for 2020!

[Sir Why You Little 34,407]

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....

Easy peasy Sir Its a very unprofessional organisation with zero leadership at all levels.

Seems that way. 

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

That is admission of Fail

[stevethemanjordan 6,952]

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. 

[Kent 2,574]

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

[AaronDaveyChipsAndGravey 390]

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. 

[spirit of norm smith 12,838]

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.  

[whatwhat say what 18,790]

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

[Whispering_Jack 27,918]

Yes - he’s definitely under pressure and the way he performs will have an important influence on whether and how far the team can go in 2020.

Why injury-prone defender is the ‘most under pressure’ Demon in 2020

[dazzledavey36 48,643]

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

[Laughing Goat 308]

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.

[old dee 22,810]

Super collector. He will be average in 2020.

[Sorry kids 635]

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