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.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    Captain Max Gawn has a considerable lead over the injured reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Jack Viney & Alex Neal-Bullen, make up the Top 5. Your votes for the win against the Eagles. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
