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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
