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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
