Chris Mayne

[bandicoot 1,395]

Out of contract free agent. 27yo 170 games.

no swap necessary. Freo gets compensation pick.

any interest? 

[DemonWA 3,521]

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

[rjay 24,046]

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.

[Akum 2,660]

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

[P-man 13,277]

Zero interest.

[deeflog 679]

Vanders a better option playing a similar role

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

This belongs in that thread TGR started.

[Biffen 12,431]

once again, terrible hair.

It's a no from me .

[kieranbj 111]

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.

[DemonLad5 1,640]

no no no no no no no

[nutbean 8,837]

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

 

[Vipercrunch 2,818]

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

[MadAsHell 4,089]

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 

[picket fence 15,551]

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!?
