Just a great footballer who played a truly great game tonight. 

And the muppet Richo gave the TV to Trac! Unbelievable.

    Is he our best full back since...?

    Since my time properly following Melbourne (probably 1996), I can’t recall us having such a dominant full back.

    Doesn’t have the media hype but his record speaks for itself. Takes the best key forward every week and keeps them quiet, as well as his (mostly) excellent kicking out of defence.

    Showing the value of the pick 6 deal we did for him. Reads the play as good as WCE McGovern. 

    Don't think he'll get the nod over Andrews, though.

    Couldn't have both?  May at FB, Andrews at CHB?

    Love the bloke. He’s my favourite player.

     

    Agree. Steven May. You’re a bloody star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Sean Wight right now has him covered, but give it a few weeks...

    A few friends and I were putting together the best Demons 22 of our lifetimes during the COVID off-season and full back was the position we really struggled with. Carroll was good for about one year, as were Ingerson, Frawley and Garland, so if May can keep up this consistency it won't be hard for him to be our best full back this century.

    As for All Australian team, he's doing very well but there have been lots of good defenders this year. The ABC did a great piece on the competition for spots earlier this week, which is a helpful reminder that there are 18 clubs who reckon their defender is a lock for a spot: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-26/afl-defenders-ready-for-all-australian-team-battle-royale/12596418

    Tonight spoke volumes that had probably already been said but seriously if Stephen May isn't playing tonight or has a honker we lose, plain and simple. The guy is making a bloody good case.

    I questioned this trade last year.

    So happy to be eating humble pie. The guy has been absolutely amazing down back this year. He is pretty much another captain for us in my eyes.

    I would be shocked if he isn't All Australian this year.

    I completely agree. Absolutely love him.

    He’s as incredibly accurate field kick for a guy his size and position. He took 6 intercept marks tonight and attacks the footy beautifully.

    He doesn’t get the credit outside here but I think he’s been our most important player all season.

    I reckon he has Nicho covered. Nicho was a great lockdown defender, but May has amazing intercept abilities which I’d liken to Rance.

    Everyone did because of the pick 6 involvement.

    But if you look at it as Hogan for May, its the biggest win ever especially when you consider we will get Hogan back this trade period for a 4th rounder.

    no. We don't want hogan back

    Darcy Moore is a shoe in for one of the key posts, selectors will probably name Andrews as the other, but May should definitely be in the conversation. Either way, bloody glad we have him in the team.

    If Tomlinson develops a little more as our other KPD, he’d have OMAC covered for mobility. Lever can be the loose defender (gave up a lot for virtually a tall flanker).

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
