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'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.

    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!?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
