    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
