    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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
