For those who can't get through the paywall, here is a summary: Mighty May's might in May might see May might in September.

He has been huge for this club.

Copped his whack early and went about gaining the trust and admiration of the entire club.

I am massive on him

How tough and gutsy to return so quick after that knock. A true leader in the club.


In some ways the way that he brought himself back after his disappointing 1st year with us raises my opinion of him. He was absolutely smashed in the media, he took his lumps and came back the best version of himself. 

I have a sinking feeling he might miss the AA team but he’ll surely be in the squad. 

As a side note I don’t know what hierarchy they have going at the club but I really hope he would be next picked as captain should Max and Jack be unavailable.

i suspect rick lever is the likely next cab / cap off the rank

There was a fantastic double-page article/interview published in the Sunday Age on 21 July 2019 titled “The Ides of May.” Reading this at the time is what sold me on him. Idk how to find old articles such as this one but if anyone else does I highly recommend it. ❤️?

Forgive my ignorance here, but I've seen Lever called "Rick" a few times now.

Is that his nickname or is it an in-joke I'm not part of?

So he gets in the AA, or doesn't. Exactly who does the AA team play anyway, and would Simon Ggoodwin and Choco release him to play a midweek fixture v New Zealand anyway.

Lever has leadership written all over him. Would be an absolutely awesome captain, but so too would May 

Hard choice

May has certainly made the players around him stand up and take note. It's now impossible to imagine us on top of the ladder with Oscar and Frost (thank you for your service) as our backline generals. By the time Max has gone, May (if he's still playing) will be overlooked for age. It will be between Petracca and Lever. Probably CP because defenders aren't glamorous.

It's his nickname within the club ds. They just reckon he looks like someone called Rick.

Thank for that.  Safe to say his opponents get Rick Rolled then!

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • 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.

  • 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.
