A menace to every top line key forward in the competition, May’s marking, interception and spoils are the dream of every football coach.

    Incredible what he does for a 193cm player. Obviously, tape measures aren't everything - as JVR has shown and will continue to show.

     

    Just a magnificent defender - Melbourne have actually been blessed with full backs over the years, and he is top of the tree.

    Steven May just seems to get better and better, premium defender that hates to lose let’s hope that Maysie can maintain the rage for another 2-3 years and celebrate another couple of premierships.!!

    He is one of my favourite players. Wears his heart on his sleeve and hates losing.

    The best key defender I've seen in red and blue.

    Big call Layzie but you may be correct.

    At the start of the year, he wasn't playing well and I thought age was catching up with him. I certainly was wrong as he bounced back strongly and played out the year in sizzling form. I suspect he was just adjusting to our tweaked game plan in the early games and/or opposition tactics to try and negate their (May and Lever's) defensive supremacy.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
