Player Watch Chris Mayne (Retired 2021)

[Jafo]

Speaking about the fans not being happy, HE doesn't look too happy himself.

Maybe he's not happy coz they stuck him in an old guernsey. At least give him and Welsy a new ISC one. Or is it Cloke's hand me down?

CHRIS MAYNE: GOALKICKING STAR?

The manager of new Collingwood recruit Chris Mayne says the former Docker has been undersold by Victorian fans.

"I think with Wells and Mayne they (Collingwood) will be top eight if they can keep their best 22 out there," Colin Young told SEN.

Young said Mayne's role under Ross Lyon drove him "crazy" and Collingwood fans would see a different player.

"He's the No.1 defensive forward in the league ... hopefully he'll kick 50-60 goals and go back to his form of a few years ago."

Collingwood's top goalkicker in 2016 was Alex Fasolo with 25. If Mayne had kicked 60 goals this year he would have finished sixth in the Coleman Medal. Something to look forward to, Magpie fans!

Hopefully another Ball

Maybe not 60 goals, but his agent brings up interesting points. I'm mostly looking forward to what he brings in terms of structure and team function.

We definitely do need a player like him.

Don't like it when players start blaming coaches for long term form, though hopefully here it is his manager speaking out of turn rather than being Mayne's mouthpiece.

 

[lyfsux]

Yeah it's a line worth returning to a couple of times. Golliwogs reminded me of the innocence of my childhood.

Careful of the PC crowd
anyway back to the WTCCM thread

**** the PC crowd. There was nothing wrong with Golliwogs. They were well suited for evil work at night or in dark forests.

Maybe the manager is getting in early so he can get ready to give Buckley a serve

I heard he chopped off his ear in prison one time.

wasn't his ear

Disappointed in half the muppets commenting in this thread. How about we watch him do his thing in the jumper before we go and bash him. This is the sort of shit carlton supporters do and then jump back on when he shows something. He's going to give his all, lets give him a chance, if it doesn't work, then it doesn't work. He gives a bit of protection to our superstar young forward, goes hard and can kick goals. Good luck to him.

"GM List Management Derek Hine said Mayne offers versatility, a high football IQ and tenacity in any situation.

“Chris, with his experience, nous, tackling temperament and nose for a goal can really help us in some important areas,” Hine said.

“This year, Chris was the second best forward in the competition for pressure applied, was is in the top five per cent of forwards for average tackles at 5.4 a game and in the top 10% of forwards for average marks at 5.0 a game.

“With these qualities, and his experience, we think he can really make an impact.”

Chris is officially a Collingwood player now.
It's time to accept that and give him a chance.

Spot On. Give him a Chance at least

 

[NT.Thunder]

I haven't seen too many posts rubbishing Mayne himself and not welcoming him to the club. I see people questioning logic from the other side of the fence such as being able to kick 60 Goals next season or returning to some form from 4 or 5 years ago or the questioning the potential remuneration package he may be on, all reasonable IMO.

Just because I've my doubts about him kicking 60 goals and returning to career best form doesn't mean I won't back him in wearing the black and white - now where did I put that unicorn picture!!

My first books, loved them and the kids reading them didn't see any difference until adults got involved.

 

[Leviathan Pie]

If Mayne kicks 60 snags next year I'll give it away.

Theres wishful thinking, and then there's that.

I wish him all the best though, and hopefully he can do a job for us over many years.

Little Black Sambo? With his colourful clothes and the 4 tigers turned into butter? He was a heroic figure, but still the book got accused of bring racist.

 

[jerms]

I'd consider 30 goals to be par for him next season... 60 is just Colin Young being a knob (again).

 

[DAWESOME!!]

Was thinking before Young came out with his comments that it would be difficult for any forward playing under Lyon. Think he'll enjoy playing for us a lot more.
