    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
