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.

    Loved his big smile in the post-match interview. He knew he did good.

    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).

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
