The rock in the Demon defence is a dependable and constant presence in the Melbourne back six. A two-time All-Australian in 2021 and 2022, May is amongst the league’s best lock-down defenders and also damages the opposition with his intercept marking and penetrating boot. The hard-hitting Demon secured another top ten best and fairest finish in 2024, despite battling through two sets of rib injuries.
