AFL Player 26: Archer May - MCL injury (minor), listed as test

[naraku]

May-Caddy-Edwards is a very exciting trio up forward.

 

[ghostdog]

I was keen on chasing Jed Walter last year when his name popped up, and I see there's still talk about going after him.
Now I'm not so sure. Will be worth looking at their respective numbers at season's end. May looks like he can be our FF with Caddy at CHF, but I would just as happily play May as forward /ruck, Walter FF and let Caddy roam between half way and the arc, giving us more marking power in the corridor and on the wings.

I like what I've seen from May. So much upside as a young forward, too.

 

[MiguelM]

May is much better contested player than Wright, who seems to be relishing his freedom around the ground. May halves a lot of contests which is stopping opposition interceptions and gets the ball to ground.

Like the structure with May, Caddy & Edwards. Much less predictable and more mobile. Langford was good in defenive position.

 

[andleanback]

I think his best passage of play was when he came from behind to compete and spoil the gawn mark which led to a goal. The coaches would have that clip on replay to the forward group. Doesn’t get a stat but it’s the number 1 thing you want forwards doing.

 

[JayJ20]

Leading our team for contested marks.

Is averaging the same amount of contested marks as Chol and Gawn. Shows how good he has been. A perfect partner for Caddy.

Fresh 2-year contract.

He's got something. We need more of these cheapies with upside

 

[katana]

that's great i was quite worried about him getting his head turned.

 

[bommer16]

Great news, has so much potential.

 

[JayJ20]

Awesome. I was worried Collingwood would come hard for him.

 

[Petrify]

**** yeah. Good signs

 

[Blind Turn]

Building. We are, and he is built like one.

I'm happy knowing the moral confliction that Derm is going through right now

 

[brutus76]

Onya Arch!

Dermie keep working with the boy on his contested stuff!

He secretly likes us

Good appointment, 2 years is about right.

Whilst not putting it all together for 4 quarter, he consistently shows signs and that is all we can ask. Green shoots

 

[bommer16]

Signing on is a good indication he is aligned with Brad and the clubs direction.

 

[Mercurial89]

Forward line has looked better when Wright and Langford aren't in it and he is one of the reasons why.

Would like to see if we can get a full season of Edwards/Caddy/May and see how it evolves

 

[Call Me Cake]

Good signing.

Floor: solid KP depth.

Ceiling: May + Caddy = McKay + Curnow (this should be the blueprint).

Add in Kakko

 

[fairbump_playon]

Couldn’t quite tell last year if he was going to be a good contested mark or was just a big unit

He’s showing a lot in 2026

Massive upside. Amazing rig.

Roughead + Buddy preferably.

McKay + Curnow

Regardless of what you guys think of Carlton, Curnow and McKay circa '21 to '23 was a premiership quality KP duo, it was the rest of the team that let them down.

You could have picked any forward duo in history and you went with that
