S May looks  to have   A A  written all over  him.  In fact he stands out and  has become a human wall down back.

He can't be avoided anymore.  Great year Stevie.  


Possibly the most important player in the side .We would have lost both last nights game and the Saints game without him.Controlled the zone with complete assurance against quality opponents.  Our only defender where you don't have your heart in your mouth when he charges towards a contest .An AA certainty .

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 been here 5 minutes but plays as if he's personally experienced all the awful moments us fans have over the years. By all reports a massive leader off the field too. Pick 6 was unders!

Surely a big chance at 2021 captain

Vice captain if Viney leaves, maybe. They won't take the captaincy off Max

 

I’ll now be annoyed if he doesn’t make it. He’s been exceptional.

I had my doubts and especially when he presented for pre-season out of shape. But to his credit he's come good. He should be AA. I wouldn't swap for any other defender in the game. Harris Andrews maybe but thats it.


Not only is May playing exceptionally well - he has such a strong presence down back that he's likely paying other dividends that won't come up on any stats sheet - e.g. pushing key forwards further away from the goals and messing with opposition structures.  

On the Sunday Footy show Matt Lloyd casually called him the AA full back while discussing the game.

If he misses playing his first final and misses his first AA team it will be shattering.

Absolutely May ahead of Andrews.  He takes the best forward every week and restricts them.  He gets 15-20 possessions mainly contested every week. He spoils and inspires the defence.  He is our defensive captain. 


Not even in the squad. What a joke!!! He is better than Jonas, Weitering and Andrews. Seriously had a fantastic year.  
 

AFL AA Selectors are a JOKE 

What games were the selectors watching??? 

He beat every key forward.  Everyone.  What more could he have been !?!?!? 
 

I’m ANGRY 

So who gets the FB nomination then? Andrews, Weitering, Jonas?

It’s completely BS. I’d pick May in my team ahead of any of these blokes. Ffs. 

no probs with andrews, weitering, and jonas being in the squad...all worthy

but may and goldstein should definitely both be in the squad

pendlebury missed a quarter of the season, danger was mostly good not great this year; duncan was just about the cats' best, along with guthrie

some selections based on 'names', it would seem

 


A bit disappointing that Steve May missed out on at least making the All Australian squad of 40.

However, I remember Russell Robertson as a specialist forward (compared to Brad Johnson who was selected) missed out on the All Australian side in 2005 when he had an excellent year and that was mystery too.

What. A. Joke.

I knew this guy would be an awesome pick up for us, and that he has been this year.

May is truly top tier.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • 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.
