Outstanding interview @Demonland.  Covered lots of ground, and I loved Maysie’s honesty and frankness.  Didn’t ‘sugar coat’ anything.

I've mentioned this before, but he was bound for Collingwood. His manager said just have a chat with Goody first before committing to them. He finished the phone call and told his manager to get him t

Sorry it took so long. Disaster struck during the interview. The bluetooth connection between my phone and my mixer disconnected a 1/3 of the way during the interview and would not reconnect. This has never happened before so the rest of the interview was conducted on loudspeak with the phone held up to my mic. The audio didn't sound great and it has taken me about 5 hours in post getting it to a point that I was happy with. I probably only lost about 10 or 15 seconds of audio but I think I did a good job of piecing it back together. On the plus side my cleaning up of the audio erased most of the traffic noises.

PS: Jake Lever was with Maysie in the car.

Thanks Andy. I loved this interview and really have only jumped on the podcasts this year despite being a DL contributor for many years.

Great interview thanks Andy.

Steve is a great interview subject as he steers away from those footy cliches and is so open and honest.

Yeah, I’m also curious in how long he sees himself playing for. His current contract expires at the end of 2025 (33 y/o), but I could easily see grumpy old man May playing a little longer than that. Hopefully that’s how he sees it too. I feel like it’s a question he’d be happy to answer honestly. 

Great interview, Andy!

May definitely didn’t fill me with much confidence that he’d be playing past 2025 but anything can happen I suppose. 
 

The 2021 hamstring story was incredible to listen to. What a beast.

Andy, thanks for providing such outstanding content. Interviews such as this are simply not available in the commercial media.

Compliments on your excellent interviewing technique; conversant with the subject matter, well-prepared with a diverse range of engaging questions and your subject at ease. 

Great insights in Maysie and the MFC. Superb work.

What he said. Thanks again. No issues at all with the audio. Appreciate the effort solving it and putting it together.

Interesting to hear the clear separation  in roles and functions with Ric.  

Have to have a closer look at Deakyn Smith after him pumping him up so much. Must admit I have had my doubts that he would make it.

What a great interview.  Very professional and reminded me somewhat of those we used to hear on SEN years back pre-Hutchy but no longer.

How he came to choose the mighty Demons over the old enemy, the lead up to the GF & the post flag euphoria was very interesting.

Defenders needing to watch out for JVR's corkies haha!

Big thanks to Andy and the Demonland crew who helped put this together.

Just finished listening to the interview. Terrific job Andy.

Genuinely interesting from a footy perspective, with lots to unpack. 

And some laugh out loud bits (eg not being paid to develop young defenders) - he is a funny bugger, and a natural story teller.

Really enjoyed that interview @Demonland - refreshingly honest fella Maysie, genuinely feel like he means everything he says. Particularly enjoyed hearing about how they lead/instruct in the backline, didn’t realise that was the approach, it appears much more chaotic to the naked eye.

True TJF I thought that they were yelling at each other, they are actually coaching on the run keeping the backline team informed on what is happening out there.👍✅

Great interview. 
Does not sound like he will play beyond 2024. We need to start planning for life after May as we will still have a very good list. 

He’s going to bail with 1 year left on his contract?

No. I said beyond 2024. He’s contracted to the end of next season. So he still has another season.

I believe he’s contracted until the end of 2025

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
