I know today is depressing but I don’t want his performance forgotten about amidst the doom and gloom. Magnificent last night he can hold his head high. Keep his nerve when all around him was a collective clusterf. Curnow was a non factor thanks to him.

Has been AA standard the past 4 years

Wanted him as captain a couple of years back. We know he let himself down badly with that incident with Melks but boy he has turned it around.

I think he’s the best traded in player we’ve ever had

Will go down as a Dees legend come what may.

I love your work Maysey.

(mods: not sure if there's an old appreciation thread for May so feel free to merge if there is)

He is somehow underrate. Which is laughable because he is probably the best FB in the game right now. 
His sheer will to win is what makes him a joy to watch. 

We are very lucky to have him, but he is also coming to the end of his career and not winning another flag without him and Gawn still playing top football would be a total waste. We won’t be able to replace those two.

He did a huge job. Huge. Curnow to zero goals. We love you Maysey. Let down by so many “forward of Centre”

I think Curnow scored one, still a mighty effort.

He was single-handedly winning to game for us last night.

Great thread.

He was a colossal down back. I actually feel for the big fella because they were doing their job perfectly down back but yet our forwards let us down.

The hurt and anger on his face last night was very evident.

Love your work Maysey

And incredible game by an incredible player.  Absolutely dominant and inspiring (again).
 

He’ll be 32 at the start of next season, so we’ll need to make the absolute most of his remaining time with us.


Also need to identify his successor to work closely under him.  With Petty now seemingly earmarked as a key forward, that successor is worryingly unclear.

May was elite last night, a real privilege and joy having him in our team.

Hopefully all the young defenders are taking notes from him.

And Hopefully Mayzie has a nice rest and incident free off-season! aha

He’s probably our most consistent finals player. He was amazing. If we had won that, the media would have been talking about his performance all week.

I only wish he was 5 years younger.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
