2020 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

Made up for a poor start at the club last year by working hard over the summer and, as a result, stamped himself as a quality player and a leader of a strong defensive unit.

Superb season. Unlucky to miss out on AA selection. Never beaten by direct opponent. Defensive lynchpin. Genuine heartfelt B&F speech. A leader.

I love this bloke.  

GUN

Yep.   Best “trade in” for a long time 

 

I strongly agree with all of the above, what a fantastic effort by Steven May, it is so reassuring to have our N0.1 holding the Fort at full back, our back six can get better and better with SM leading the way.

He is a "Gun".!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May missing the All Australian top 40 is the voting irregularity that should be investigated.

Best player on our list.

I love him.

 

AA season  in my eyes showed why we went after him.  A key back who is so valuable and leads by example. Carries the backline.

Gobsmacked he missed AA, sensational season. Shows the difference between proper preparation and coming back underdone. 

For me he should be an official member of the leadership group (dep VC) for 2021.

I love him more than you.

Stud. What a trade.

I still hope Hogan can resurrect his young career at GWS, I genuinly wish the best for him as someone who has been battling the last few seasons mentally. That being said its one of a very few occasions MFC have come out on top with a trade in recent memory.

Absolute star and really should be captain

Let’s get Giuliani onto it.

 

Met him just before schoonergate (he had 1 beer) and I could not have been more impressed with him which is not what I was expecting. He acknowledged he didn't arrive in best condition and it drove him to change his training habits which he did.  

He has absolute certainty about his ability without being arrogant and as we've seen is not afraid to speak his mind when a player or the team are not up to standard. 

He's our best leader by a long way in my opinion.

Absolute gun. Or as my son says “May is a weapon “.  
 

 Steven May had a huge year and deserved the runner up position behind Trac in the MFC B&F.  

He should have an All Australian Full Back. Robbed.  
 

But really looking to see how he backs it up in 2021.  

Perhaps his greatest achievement in a season where he dominated on the field, was exposing the entire All Australian selection committee as knowing nothing about footy.

I love the way he talks. Wears his heart on his sleeve and doesn’t just give out the usual boring cliches.

As for on field, he is a ripper. Hopefully he comes back to preseason in great nick again.

atrocious 2019; outstanding 2020

all on him for 2021

Couldn't have done more.

Don't disagree !

Is the best full back in the league.

Stops the premier oppostion forward and is a high possession gatherer and efficient. 

Moore - 13 touches a game

Andrews - 10 touches a game

May - 16 touches a game

Probably lost All Australian because Gunstan and Lynch got a hold of him in the early rounds.
