Love Mayzie’s work. I knew little about him before he came to us. 
his Post Game interview in 2020 from Cairns sold me

He was just honest “what we put out there tonight was just not good enough”, a year later we win the Flag. 
May should win the Brownlow for what he does, but we know he never will. 
He looks like The Terminator in a Melbourne Jumper (imagine him as a direct opponent!!)

and so well spoken…

I can't think of a better or more impressive trade into our club that Steven May in the past 50 years. He is an absolute rock.

When we changed our recruiting after Prendergast and started looking for fierce competitors we started getting guys like Viney, Lever, Tracc, Oliver, Langdon and May

Outstanding individuals.

Agree a brilliant trade in.

May came courtesy of Jesse leaving. We got Jesse from the compo pick we got for that number one pick bloke we had for an instant, who left no mark on the MFC and whose name I have forgotten and actually erased from my mind.

As to the competitors we drafted, that was a non negotiable from guys like Brendan McCartney, whose mantra was that the game is won at the contest.

Also agree that they are outstanding individuals and even more of course like Gus, Sparrow, Rivers, Bowey and others can be added to that group of fierce competitors.

Hope he looks after his body and we can get another 4-5 years out of him.

IMO Oliver and May are our two most important players.

Yes indeed. Players like Steven can set the standard for years after they finish. Petty and Bowey have the benchmark Teachers

the targetting and recruiting of May was a masterstroke in the rebuilding of The MFC

Still don’t know if he was worth the Jesse Hogan pick…

Just kidding the guy is a bloody legend and one of my favourite players, as the guys said on the show he’s a great person to have interviewed as he’s not a robot with his responses. He gives honest answers and is such awesome ambassador for our club. 

Loved hearing him say he gave Trac a spray with 3min to go in the Grand Final with us 60+ points up! 


I liked the way Gary Lyon pretty much told him not to give away too much info that others teams could pick up on and potentially use to their advantage.  

Great viewing.

I always knew he was a very good player at the Suns, but, nowhere near the level he's been able to maintain at Melbourne.

Big, strong, scary, smart and skillful. What an absolute ripper.

Always gives me the jeebees listening to our players talk tactics with the media.
Tell 'em nothin' boys.

There was important game last year and they had May out on the ground before the game discussing our backline structure and how he and Lever work together.
 I was sitting there thinking "WTF Maysie.... Too much info." 😕

Loved his interview there though.
He speaks very well.

Great player, leader and ambassador for our club he speaks so well. At his peak at age 30 as well I reckon he could be one of those guys still playing top footy at 34, plenty left in the tank

He could easily play a Hibberd or even Salem-style role after he starts to slow down. Mid 30s for sure, injury permitting.

Yeah he is definitely handsome, and at 29 it's not even creepy for me to comment on because he's not that much younger than me 😁

I believe he's taken. Our own WCW has first dibs.

We’ve broken up, Maze. Hard to maintain a relationship while 500 metres apart. 😁

He's just playing hard to get. Have you tried yelling "I love you Steven" from the cheer squad after every goal?

Duh 🙄 why do you think I joined the cheer squad in the first place?

Incidentally, the ‘Army’ invited me to help make the banner this week. And with that comes the entitlement of raising said banner on game day. That’ll be my best opportunity to declare my undying love. It’ll also be security’s best opportunity to try out that new headlock method of removing undesirables.

Maysie is always articulate, open and honest in his interviews.

 

I laughed when Garry told him to basically to stop giving away their tactics.

 

Great interview tho.

I believe I’m also taken but perhaps for May things can change 😂

We are definitely blessed with many leaders down and up the field.

Gawny, Trac, May, Lever, Viney, Angus.

Each with their unique style of leadership.

Um Clarry Choo Choo??? Mate if I played with him I would be SOOOOOO INSPIRED, I would willingly climb over broken glass with him and then share that Large as life grin that he enables with his teammates that definately show Love Empathy and Genuine care and concern for those around him as an "On Field" GENERAL! Sign me up Son!!!!

Clayton is definitely a very special player, however he doesn't seem one of the most vocal from the group.

He can definitely lead with his relentless commitment to the contest and footy proes.

Great interview.  May is so honest and loves footy and loves the team.  He’s the sort of guy who you want to play footy with and he demands your best.  
 

The “experts” laughed and ridiculed the Dees after 2019. Suns took pick 6 and drafted Ben King. Predictions of him being a 10-15 year full forward superstar.  May was injured in 2019 as we struggled.  
 

But May has proven to be an amazing recruit.  A leader. A premiership player.  

 

Clipped version I found on YouTube.

Love how Mayzie speaks. No straight bat being played here. Happy to be open about his career and setbacks.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
