Universal Love Chris Mayne

Did I miss something? He still failed to execute regular handballs and turned it over in the back half.

The last quarter?

 

[mike123]

The last quarter?

So one good quarter in the VFL is good enough now?

Did I say that? You asked what you missed. I assumed it was the last quarter. I was also being a smart arse.

Didn't say you said that. But for others it appears like that.

Not sure there is any need for this thread.

Hey time to lay off chris Mayne enough is enough
****in bullies

 

[Bad Horse]

Hmmmm mane....

Sorry, where was I?

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Mayne was terrific today. Undoubtedly his best game in black and white and certainly would have played more than 3 matches this season had he put together that performance earlier.

He has had all season to prove his worth. One good game for the 2nds after the death of Collingwood AFL does not even begin to justify the foolhardy generosity of his salary. And while he is on $50000 a year for doing SFA I will say what I like about him. In his situation, I would be more than happy to roll with the punches and collect the woman.

 

[jackcass]

Had some good moments, had some ordinary moments. But then again, he wasn't Robinson Crusoe so not sure it's thread worthy.

 

[jamieb1983]

Needs a new position if nes gonna extend his afl career. Throw him down back worth a try

 

[HedgeFund]

Your current and future coach clearly sat in the meeting with his manager and the (soon to be departed) GM of Football and gave his blessing to picking up Mayne on $500k per year until the end 2020.

So his footballing future is either:

1. $1.5M to stay on your list and play VFL;

2. Try to trade him to another club who will pick up his 3 year contract with Collingwood paying a big chunk (so not going to happen); or

3. Whether it's now, or next year after one final crack, put him on the coaching staff with an early retirement from playing (most likely).

Either way, it's nobody's fault but Buckley.

Thanks for letting us know exactly what occurred and our options for the future. Funnily enough it had never been discussed before you got here.

I didn't know all that.
Thank you for clarifying.
Now I know exactly what happened.

[BringouttheGimp]

That's quite surprising to be honest. After all it has proven to be a howler of a deal by Hine/Buckley.

Clearly worse than Wells and Dunn.

Glad I could clear it up for you.

Doesn't quite ring true with what's been spoken about since the deal was done. Buckley wanted Mayne, but not for that money or length. From all reports I've heard Buckley was happy to sign Mayne for 2-3 years at 300-350k.

Run along now before we mistake you for a troll.

I always get so overwhelmed when a Freo fan starts bleating holier-than-thou about botched trades. I don't know whether to bring up losing Andy McLeod for superstar Chris Groom, giving up rights to Matty Lloyd and Scott Lucas, giving away Jimmy Clement as steak knives, giving up Luke Hodge and Sam Mitchell for Trent Croad only to lose him back to Hawthorn, giving up Medhurst to Ben Reid for Chris Tarrant only to lose him back to Collingwood, picking up Jack Anthony, picking up Kepler Bradley, picking up Colin Sylvia, picking up Scott Gumbleton, or coughing up a first rounder for Harley Bennell.

Maybe I should just shut up though.

Please don't mention Zac Dawson either.

We don't really know you so I won't send you a Goodfellas gif.

Now go home and get your shine box

You forgot to mention signing up Ross Lyon until the end of 2020. Thanks for Luke Ball Rossy.

 

[rand corp]

An inexplicable signing, their should be an internal investigation, did someone pocket a secret commission?
