Player Watch #1: Steven May – 2x All-Australian

[Topkent]

Yeah give yourself an uppercut if you wanna talk about players political choices on here. Deadset the shittest thing to chat about

 

[Theseventhhamster]

It's that annoying sort of conspiracy-minded, "hey, I'm just asking questions, I'm a free-thinker, don't pigeon-hole me" type of conservatism popularised by American podcasters like Jordan Peterson, Lex Friedman, Joe Rogan, et al. It seems to have been taken down now, but shortly after the 2021 GF, TMac went on some random youtube podcast and talked for an hour in vague terms about how "they" want to silence independent free-thinkers and how important it is to keep an "open mind" about political matters (I'm steeped enough in this stuff to know that this is code for buying unquestioningly into conspiratorial horseshit) with a host who literally had no idea that TMac had just played in an AFL premiership a month earlier.

Anyway, since you've all been asking for it, here's the players on our team I imagine have good political opinions:

• Max Gawn
• Ed Langdon
• Tom Campbell
• Marty Hore

The players I imagine have bad political opinions:

• Tom McDonald
• Charlie Spargo
• Jake Lever
• Jack Viney

The players I imagine would have somewhat incoherent political opinions, but who would still be fun to talk politics with:

• Steven May
• Kade Chandler
• Jake Melksham

The players who would smile and nod politely in agreement with literally every political opinion you share with them:

• Jake Bowey
• Christian Petracca

Players who have literally never thought about politics a single day in their lives:

• Bailey Fritsch
• Clayton Oliver
• Koltyn Tholstrup

Fantastic post, of have put Viney in the last group though.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Anyway. If he does go to Collingwood, what do you think the token pick will be handed to us? 35? 53? Probably 53.

Spargs is a pinger rat - he'd be all free love I reckon

I've literally never seen him smile. People who don't smile can't be good people. People who can't be good people can't have good political opinions. This is all included in my manifesto. Please read and study my manifesto before you post again.

I get Charlie Spargo and Steven May confused too.

Yeah a pick in the 50s or later I reckon

McDonald may have some different political views but seems to be pretty level headed with his team-mates. Never been half arsed with training etc either

What are his different political views?

 

[Dory_77]

What are his different political views?

Mihocek is a free agent, so yes comes free without a trade.

It might depend on the compensation for Spargo. If it’s a third then will cancel out. If north were offering enough money and years to trigger a 2nd then we would have to trade for Mihochek

Mate, it may be the off season and we've nothing to talk about... but take your politics shit somewhere else. This is a footy board. We come here to escape that crap.

Not how free agency works

Spargo is a resting campaigner face.

Why the **** did we even draft Spargo? Deadset weird choice.

Sir, this is the Steven May thread

 

[Lord Nev]

 

[Bluelegs]

Confusing tweet. Prestia and May are both 33. There are three people mentioned being charged with the 32 year old being far more serious than the other two mentioned.

May is the Mt Eliza one, Prestia the Hawthorn one.

Prestia just turned 33 a couple of weeks ago, so could be to do with that.

Right so age at the time of incident maybe?

Saw prestia denies the charges too.

Anyway, fantastic start to the off-season.

Not time of incident, cos May would have been 32 - Maybe just a delay between the charge and the media report?

No wonder no clubs were interested in May despite him being free to a good home.

 

[Topkent]

Sounds like May finally won a scrap atleast

Think it's a very easy culture setting move to just pay May out now.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Unless he has incriminating pictures.

 

[Lord Nev]

“The other element from a football perspective, I’m aware of at least one club that decided not to look at Steven May in the trade period because they believed that he was going to be charged in the months following the trade period."

Clubs break silence on charged premiership pair

They will appear in court.

Still a massive head-scratcher that we re-signed him before he'd even played a game this year while this was still hanging over his head.
