I’m hoping that Steven May plays at least another 50 games with us just to be sure.!!

Hope for another 3 years of Magic also. 🙏

    Another great Steven May interview with Tim & Gazza, you can hear their admiration in their voices. Commercial pilot should be a Fighter pilot Lol.!!!

    I fully agree with the well-earned Maysie praise, and just wanna add this to the list…

    Mixed reactions at the time, even from Dees fans, but I for one applaud him for his honesty and resolve. Want the same old same old from player interviews? Then be sure not to listen to our boy Maysie, coz he’s as candid as they come.

    Interestingly, he’s qualified to take a teammate out for a fly but no one’s put their hand up. 🤣🤣🤣

    Just noticed it's the first of May, so happy Steven May Day to all who celebrate (excuse the photo - this was the only one I could find).

    Don’t think anyone has played a more important 100 games for the club. He is pivotal in our structural set-up.

    The first picked every week.

    First game I saw May play was Round 2 2019. We lost by 80 points to Geelong, in Geelong, in the pouring rain. May did his groin and wasn't seen again until Round 12.

    Fair to say he has come a long way since then. Still not perfect off field, but damn he is a good footballer.

    If he had been drafted to a club other than Gold Coast, and had the right attitude from a young age, his career might be spoken about amongst the likes of Rance and Scarlett.

    If he had the right attitude at Gold Coast?

    May was famously competitive and an obvious leader. Which is why Gold Coast made him co captain at 25 , and why he was an absolute gun player in.huge demand before coming to the dees.

    Rance and Scarlett are unarguably both legends. 5 and 6 x AA respectively. Premiership player x 1 and x 3 respectively.

    But May is 100% on track to be considered in the same league as both.

    If he plays two more seasons after this year he'll get close to 300 games.

    He's a two time AA, and a real chance of adding a third this year. 

    And of course he is also a premiership player, who famously played with a hammy tear that normally would be a minimum 3 week injury.

    Fair criticism from LFS

    There is often some very funny posts on dl.

    Most of them are intentionally funny.

    Some are not - but hilarious nonetheless.

    The quoted post is an exemplar of the latter.

    Brilliant effort to squeeze in critisisms and backhanded compliments about a plsyer who has, without exaggeration, become a legend of the club in only 100 games.

    100 games means life membership.

    Except may already had life membership for being a premiership player. A premiership that we probably don't win without him.

    Come a long way since - check notes - a game we just happened to get flogged in?

    Nice job highlighting that. Extra points for it being the same opponent we face this week.

    If he had the right attitude at Gold Coast?

    That is flat out hilarious.

    He was famously competitive and an obvious leader. Which is why Gold Coast made him co captain at 25 , and why he was an absolute gun player in.huge demand before coming to the dees - not some nobody with potential.

    If he had the right attitude hs career might be spoken about amongst the likes of Rance and Scarlett?

    More comedy Gold.

    Rance and Scarlett are unarguably both legends. 5 and 6 x AA respectively. Premiership player x 1 and x 3 respectively.

    But May is 100% on track to be considered in the same league as both.

    If he plays two more seasons after this year he'll get close to 300 games.

    He's a two time AA, and a real chance of adding a third this year. 

    And of course, as noted, he is also a premiership player, who famously played with a hammy tear that normally would be a minimum 3 week injury.

    Thanks for the laughs.

    But on a serious note, show some @#$$$@! respect for a legend playing his 100th game for the mighty dees.

    Think you are being a little harsh there Binman.

    I was at the B & F as well and loved everything about his speech. He definitely wears his heart on his sleeve and bleeds red and blue. My favourite player. ❤️💙

    He completely won me over Round 14, 2020. We played the Saints in a night game in Alice Springs. We won by 3 points in a close one.

    Trent Rivers, playing in game 5 of his career, was interviewed post game and glowing with the win. He was asked "what did Steven May say to you rather animatedly late in the last quarter" - Rivers replied "he said, you give me your best 5 minutes, and I'll give you mine".

    Backline general, treating the next gen with equality and respect. Had several chats with him along the way, and he's a gentleman to boot. Absolute ripper.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
