https://www.sen.com.au/news/2020/09/12/im-super-proud-of-him-may-heaps-praise-on-dees-youngster/   I’m developing a serious man-crush on Steven May. Enormous pick up for our club.

Just about my all-time favourite Demon, and I rarely care much for defenders. An absolute Goliath on defense, who can also intercept, drive and kick like an elite midfielder. The best part is he has b

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.

doesn't need to moonie, there are 6 backs in aa team plus 1 more on interchange

May is almost 29.   Pray to the high heavens we get a few more great seasons out of him yet.

Would be great if he was a few years younger, but I reckon his type can play on well into their 30s. I think we have at least 3 more good years coming from him. 

Anyway, after being introduced as “All Australian full back Steven May” on the Sunday Footy Show, he has now been included in SEN’s rolling AA side at CHB. Playing his best game for the season in a prime time match everyone was watching has done his chances a world of good. Like I said earlier in the thread, the media hype plays a huge role in the selection of this team. He deserves to be there in any case.

Tassie Johnson perhaps? 

Think Tassie played every position possible for a man his size 

Ruck all the key positions and back and foward pockets

A real legend and hero of mine

I’m glad someone in the media has FINALLY brought his name up, albeit an ex MFC player. The AA team is meant to be based on performance but media hype plays a huge role in it too. People are still talking about Max Gawn being in the mix despite him missing 3 games and playing two average games before that. Love Max but he shouldn’t be in discussions any more. Petracca is locked in and May should be the other Melbourne player in discussions. Perhaps Oliver if he finishes strongly. 

No other ruckman has played better

I wish I was a still a naive, optimistic kid. Unfortunately I’m not.

For instance, I had a $70 fare with Ansett to fly from Sydney to Melbourne to watch the Granny in Sept 2000. It was a 7.00am flight - not flexi, no changes. My mates and I had a big night. I got to bed at 5.30am to have 25 mins sleep. Seemed responsible at the time. Woke up at 7.10am. Desperately rang Ansett almost in tears, in fact I think I was in tears. The dude said if I get to the airport by 7.40am, he’d put me on the already full 8.00am flight (which he did). Turned up by myself in my pyjamas. And they let me on. Made the game.

It was ultimately a schizen game, and I hated Essendon forever after it, but I think this shows my commitment to this club.

I’ve literally had a thousand experiences like this ever since. In short, I have many humiliating, yet funny, stories about supporting this very unsuccessful club. I suspect they’re beyond the sensibilities and interests of most Demonlanders but they are the real deal.

Anyway - I’ve followed this club with a passionate focus and dedication for decades. I know the club, I know it’s history.

And, in this context, Steven May is the real deal. I reckon he’s the best we’ve had. He’s a leader. And an absolute gun.

In the meantime, stay classy Demonlanders.

By his own admission he had a horrid last year mostly due to his own poor preparation (and to be fair, moving to a new city and having your missus leave you soon after would poorly effect everyone)

But this year he has shown us all just how great a player he is

He might me my favourite player now

AA for sure.

Had a few scotches last night.

Still reckon May is one of the best we’ve had though.

Jesus I was hard on him last year and rightly so.

But this year he's been one of the most consistent player so far.

He is one hell of a footballer. Tough, takes no [censored] and a big presence. I like Gawny, but I would easily have this bloke as our captain.

He’d be a fabulous captain , but I’d like him as he is and not distracted by the captaincy .

Doesn’t seem that there is much fan fare for May getting AA... 

massive result considering making finals is still a long shot. 

Trac has also cemented his spot.

2 x AA selections and we still might not make the finals? gawn and oliver not far off. A good coach would have had us at top 4...

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
