No worse than watching Mayne run on a treadmill constantly being second to the ball.His knock is his two way running. Can be lazy at times.
He had one good season in 2010 and 2011 acted as a decoy for Cloke. He wasn't that good.Well 3 Things Caused That.
- Bucks Trying to make him Like Leigh Brown
- Heard Surgery on his Hand(That Stuffed Them(

Well thank **** for that. Excuse my French.
Short of a fit darcy and a few others that's a great side.
I think Mayne isn't doing horrible right now. Prefer aish in his role because he's essentially playing it right now.
SameI miss him
Honestly I never minded this, gives a chance for our players to contest.I'm still waiting for his last kick for us to land.
McLarty isn’t slow. Considerably quicker than Reid I’d say, and he worked reasonably well in tandem with Cox, so I’m not buying the too slow line.Im happy with the ins and outs.
Its unfortunate for McLarty, but I reckon a Cox-McLarty Fwd line is too slow. I wonder, with Langdon back, whether we might give Howe (if healthy) some spells up forward if we need another marking target.
Fas gets his shot.
Brown and Crocker make sense as outs.
And I think Mayne deserves to stay based on last week. Just needs to keep backing it up with that same intensity at the contest.
You’ve always had impeccable taste in favourites Mr 123Same
I did counter it with if we lose, I believe if we are even half genuine we will bring it this week, if not we are where we are.Don't be so confident, we have a history of losing these types of games. The saints second half against freo was very good and that for tends to carry over into the following week, lets not get ahead of ourselves but hopefully we get the job done
I'm pretty hit or miss tbhYou’ve always had impeccable taste in favourites Mr 123
Then how did we win the Flag when we had lot of Players I could say the Same About then
Still doesn’t make him any goodPremiership player.
Better than you.
And unfortunately, me.
Completely agree he seems like the glue that held us all together, seemed to play so much better with him in. Looked so dam good preseason, started great and ofcorse Collingwood tradition, stuck down with injury it's a bloody nightmare, hopefully back by round 14 can get a string of games before final!What some of us fail to realise is the magnitude of the Aish injury. His role has now being played by Mayne who did okay on the weekend, but we need a replacement for his role over the next few weeks in order to free up trealoar, pendles and sidey, that inside runner with tacklining ability. Aish had the best start to a season than he has had his whole career. shame to see him injured for so long
McLarty isn’t slow. Considerably quicker than Reid I’d say, and he worked reasonably well in tandem with Cox, so I’m not buying the too slow line.
Makes you blind though.Still doesn’t make him any good
A saint on their knees...Saints are on their knees. No excuse for not winning this game.
Not sure why we have a revisit of the Dawes abuse here. If anyone cares, I'm in the group that saw a very good forward destroyed by a hand injury that crippled his great marking. All he had then was a good sense for knock ons and a solid capacity as a hefty ground player. Not enough at his size, but he always gave 100%. When he lost confidence in his kicking it was all over.
For this week, the side looks about as good as the injuries allow it to be. Several have realized that Mayne is there to fill in for Aish. He is about the same as a mark, and fills the bill for desperation and tackling. He is not fast, but neither is Aish. His field kicking is OK, as is Aish's and so I am with the selectors here. The various suggestions for his wing spot don't have his marking, and that is crucial for the linking role he is there for.
Fasolo gives some goal scoring flexibility, and hopefully Wells is better for last week's run.
Phillips being available is a godsend. His critics are probably starting to realize his value.
Brown was not getting enough of the ball, but some time in the VFL will probably see him improve this and force his way back in.
The big midfielders will have to wait for the right opportunity. If they keep performing in the VFL, they will get chances, but they are not the right players for the role Mayne plays, no matter how much some of you want him out. They are not great marks to start with.
Likewise, McLarty will get a go, but it will wait for the right vacancy. With Moore out, I did think that the opening was there, but Fasolo was pushing for the same spot.
Retaining Appleby is a reward for effort and form. It probably means that Varcoe will play forward (a good thing) unless the idea is that Howe will spend some time there.
Overall agree.Have not missed him one iota.
Rusling retired in 2010, though I think he was injured for all of his final two years.
1 thing caused that.Well 3 Things Caused That.
