Steven May’s first season in the red and blue didn’t go to script, as the key defender battled groin and hamstring injuries throughout 2019. Managing just eight games in his debut season for Melbourne, the former Suns captain was unable to get the continuity he desired, but when fit, showed exactly why he’s considered one of the league’s best key defenders. At 193cm, May is a strong backman who can out body any opponent in the game, bringing a steely edge to the Dees’ side. The booming left footer, who can be used at either end of the field, is a great leader among the playing group and with a big pre-season, will set himself up for a strong 2020 campaign.
