Cometti has retired from sports journalism for a new career in "FAKE NEWS."
Dementia setting in? Feel bad for Mayne and he does not deserve getting thrown under a bus by Buckley like that - cannot think of any instance that blatant before re bagging out a currently contracted player - especially with so much left on his contract. But at 29 in a rebuild and trying to get games into our new generation forwards there was a reason we were happy to offload him.

I can't see Mayne as a player want to go to any club now . My 5 cent , Collingwood want him to retire ,if their plan were to offload him, they will discuss with other club rather than public humiliation.

I am of the deifinite opinion that Garry Ablett Senr ( also known as GOD I believe) would consistently gain separation from his oponent by applying a sharp hit to the opponents solar plexus.Maybe Tabs needs to perfect this method.

I hope not as I used to hate it and firmly believe that a free kick should have been paid in every case.
Depending on his draft trajectory I would like to have a chance to get the son of Otis O'Rielly next year.
From what others have been saying about him that's where I would chasing the KPF at 195cm.
Next year seems the draft to tick quite a few boxes...... Carter, Hill and O'Rielly.
I may be a little too WA centric.
Really thinking we need a good pick at a mid instead of reaching for KPP at 5 if we don't downgrade.

Remember why we were all so happy about Mayne leaving. He's a great guy but a liability as a footballer.

Collingwood Pick 6 + Mayne for our 4th round pick and we take on his whole contract.

Then we trade Mayne to Gold Coast for Matera and we pay for the 4/5th of the contract. Gold Coast get a fantastic trainer and team player for 100k a year.

No way on earth should we let Mayne back on our list.

Definitely a Freo supporter
I've heard he is a Freo supporter to. Always found him one of the most unbiased in the AFL commentary. He seems to have become a bit of an angry old man since retiring though. His commentary for the Peel game wasn't exactly glowing in his praise of Freo earlier this year. Perhaps he's a disgruntled Freo fan atm :) Aren't we all a bit lately though?

Most people in this board here said how bad collingwood treat him , action speak louder than words, Ross will definitely treated him better than Buckley .
I don't think peel jetta or ugle will pass the ball to him knowing that he get 250k a year .
No shit Ross treated him better. He wouldn't have missed a game if he was still here at Fremantle, which is why it's so great he's gone because he was the prime example of a role player who got a game every week for Lyon despite not being AFL standard.

I imagine he prefers West Perth.
Pretty sure I heard him on the radio say he grew up supporting East Fremantle as a kid.

In the AFL, hard to tell as his calls were impartial as they should be but very surprised to hear he was/is a Freo fan. I thought he only liked us because we gave him so much material for his in-commentary jokes. When a second club from WA was being touted he even claimed the team should be from Perth and not Freo, as Perth is the only capital not represented in the AFL playing states.
