If the club has it's way - it would've been May and Oliver's last game
Hopefully not McVee's last game

Oliver? Why do you say that? He has shown his real self lately and has always put in for his team.

If he can get on the park and show some form, Shane McAdam may well take Jake’s place next season - similar mercurial player, same height, but 3 or 4 years younger and quicker and has a better leap.

That’s a very big if.

Oliver wants a fresh start

Melbourne want to recuperate some salary wasted on a bloke paid handsomely and not playing like it

A new coach not going to be enough of a fresh start? What if all the prospective coaches say they want him?

There is a reason why Adelaide was happy to see him go.

if he wants to go and he club want him gone then its get done on the first day of trade period

he takes a pay cut and the club accepts whatever it gets in a trade

Who should go is anyone not fully invested in the club.

I'm a fan of May. He cops it for his passion and competitiveness, but I love him for it.

I really want to see him forward now we have key back depth. He would take the pressure off JVR, Kentiand Jeffo etc TMac can probably play another year back too.

Hearing Kynan Brown set to be delisted. West Coast have expressed some interest in him for next season.

The surprise in that is interest from WC

Well I'm sure both parties would still want acceptable terms no?

The footage circulating of Steven May’s conduct during Max’s post-match/season address in the club rooms is deeply concerning.

Absolutely juvenile and disrespectful to our captain (again). I want him gone. Thanks for your contribution buddy, but you can sod off now.

Yeah, it’s not a great look.

The way May acts is exactly what I saw from the "cool kids" in my son's under 13 team. He abuses teammates, says things without thinking, carries on like everything is someone else's fault, undermines coaches and leaders, etc.

The only reason it has been tolerated, as it was in the under 13s, is because of his football ability. Now that he is a liability on-field as well as off, it is well past time to cut him loose.

Can we hold off and package him up for a Jayden Hunt Reunion tour!?

He's exactly what North Melbourne need, and Clarko is exactly what Steven May needs! Can we get a pick?!

When Simpson said that there has been unrest among the playing group, footage like this seems to align with that - as does the yelling and even pushing between leaders on field.

Edited August 25, 2025Aug 25 by Norm Smith's Curse

may comes across as a player who was great at one stage and no longer is, and his poor behaviour and leadership has become more pronounced as his greatness has declined

Been better but not worth the money we're paying him. Also taking up a midfield spot that needs to start going to the younger players.

Next year Langford needs to be in the middle. His ball use is way too good to waste him on the wing.

Haha looking forward to seeing this do the rounds on tv tonight. May is cooked and should be moved on. If he wants to tune out, fine, but distracting a young player in a team meeting is cultural cancer.

Big deal

Not everyone gets on with their boss

i don't think it's a shooting offence

i imagine its the same talk he's been hearing all year (the same we've all heard)

must be a pattern of behaviour if someone decided to leak the footage. assume they are tired of it

One more thing

The Club should have had Maccas, KFC and coldies ready to go

There'll be enough time for speeches in the exit interviews

mfc published the footage

may is sitting relatively front-and-centre and is clearly not interested in what his captain has to say

as he's shown both on- and off-field, he's a real issue from a cultural standpoint

Seems a little storm in a tea-cup for me. End of a disastrous year, its a relatively minor infraction.
