Steve joined the club in 1996 and managed to convince the coach he was suited to a Full Forward role. Due largely to a dominant Warners Bay midfield lead by Dave Metcalfe, "Maysie" managed to score over 100 goals in his first season for the club. He has since gone on to play another 10 seasons for the Bulldogs and represented the NAFL on numerous occassions. Steve has also been the Treasurer for the club and was the Club President from 2003 to 2006.
At 41, his best football playing years are definitely behind him however in 2007 he lined up for the odd Reserve Grade game and enjoyed it so much he ended up being an integral part of that team's 2008 Finals campaign, flogging a few 20 y.o. opponents to help guide the team to a 2008 Premiership over Cardiff.
