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

    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.

    By also, I meant 'and another question'. The two aren't linked.

    Wonderful interview. He spoke so openly and honest and didn't give us the usual media trained answers that we normally get from players.

    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.

    The Steven May book would be an interesting read. Reckon he would have a yarn or two to share.

    Maysie is very well spoken but also not afraid of the truth.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
