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.

  • Quote

    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).

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
