Definitely still a poor list management decision, and would only truly be classified as a success if Collingwood wins a flag with him in the 22.

The thing is every club has someone on their list who is receiving around 100-150k per year more than they should really be getting based on outside perceptions.

Mayne is now slightly overpaid as a best 22 role player, rather than massively overpaid as a VFL level guy.

Testament to his character and work ethic, and well done to Collingwood on backing him in to have a proper opportunity at a role change.

This.

There is bound to be one player in almost every club who is paid slightly over what his role entails and what he is really valued it. It is not a catastrophe.

$500,000 a year to recruit someone from another club really isn’t THAT huge in 2018.

Reflecting on this thread. Wow absolutely awful coaching.

Just goes to show success all comes from the list itself and the coach is irrelevant.

Was definitely an out of character comment from Buckley. He rarely, if ever, puts a foot wrong in the media, and this was a rare mistake from him.

Credit must go to Mayne, for turning his career around. Couldn't be happier for him, after the way he was treated by fans last year, who according to some posters "are allowed to boo Chris Mayne because they pay his salary".

Pay his salary? What a pack of campaigners

CRedit to mayne for being able to ignore all the 'noise.'

PS Does he still do the sniffing thing when lining up for goal?

I have nothing against Chris Mayne and hope he can turn it around. But that damn fine performance was, as you said, in the VFL. Of course he was getting jeered, because it's the members money that is paying his salary. Who else is at fault for not being to cut the mustard and make it into one of the worst forward lines in the comp? (Don't be silly and blame Buckley)

I have so much respect for what Mayne has dealt with, and then over come in the past twelve months.

He’s honestly lucky we’ve had so many injuries this year otherwise he wouldn’t be in the side.

He was maybe lucky to get into the team at the start of the year due to the injuries, however he has clearly earned his spot in the best 22 since then.
To say otherwise is either a sign of stupidity, or someone who never watches the game.
