Out of contract free agent. 27yo 170 games.

no swap necessary. Freo gets compensation pick.

any interest? 

 

No way. Battler player at best and I'd prefer Pederson or Dawes as back ups

We've had a discussion on Mayne before. No from me, why would we want him?

Undersized key forward, best year a few back now. We've got Hogan, Watts, Weed, Hulett, Vanders & Petracca along with Pedders already.

 

Just don't see what he would add to us.


Vanders a better option playing a similar role

once again, terrible hair.

It's a no from me .

 

Vanders is the much better comparison than Dawes/Pedersen.

I think Mayne's best is much better than the best we have seen from Vanders so far, that said we haven't seen enough of Mayne's best over the last two season.

His defensive pressure is very good and he is a lovely kick - I wouldn't rule out if he was costing us nothing.


I say yes  - but only because I am a contrary bastard

 

I'd love to hear some non-Melbourne views on Mayne vs. VDB.  I'm nearly always of the view to grow and develop our own so it's a no form me, but to say VDB is a proven better player is a stretch.

He'd cost us cap space, more than Vanders, and it would make one of them surplus to needs.
I just can't see the upside, unless we're in the business of pure talent accumulation with no strategy or direction.

The softest player going around, softer tha JT! a BIG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Nope, don't see the need.

Watch Essendon or Richmond panic and pick him up instead.

Is this a joke thread?

Richmond and Norf haven't learnt a damn thing. 2 of the 3 clubs linked to a almost 28 yr old Chris Mayne.

Delusional does not cover it. They are both still trying to "top up"

My god.

Vanders did nothing this year.  Maynee is a proven goal kicker, leads hard at the ball and lays tackles. 

Its an upgrade on Vanders

Very similar numbers for the two of them.

Personally i see Vanders being more of a depth player next year. So given Mayne has similar numbers, i don't see the point in going out to get a free agent as depth.

Mayne had an average year but let's face it Freo were horrible so I don't think these stats mean anything 

 

Mayne, Bruest, et all they are sooo soft! Give all a wide berth!

Add others here!!.....................................................

What we don't need is players who cannot win there own ball.

No Gold platter gifts here any more at our club you would like to think!?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
