WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - COREY MAYNARD

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

It looks like we've added a new player to our list, a former basketball player and brother of Collingwood's Brayden Maynard.

[Demon Jack 6,911]

Can safely say that this came out of nowhere.

[Bang Bang Bang 5,826]

I swear Jay Clark is a hidden employee of the club, he breaks every piece of MFC-related news first.

Never heard of Corey Maynard, but his brother goes alright and I have great faith in Jason Taylor.

 

[Adam The God 30,266]

I just know that the Maynard's are MFC supporters. They'll be happy.

[Deestroy All 14,266]

It'll be refreshing hearing the commentators talk about his basketball background. 

[Biffen 12,943]

The brother is starting to look like a player.

We would have to have the best basketball team in the AFL by now for sure.

[DeeZee 7,397]

Id say it's a good area of recruitment to find top level basketballers and develop them into AFL footballers.

Joel Smith seems to be progressing well and we all know Wattsy has a BB background too.

Maynard ticks all the boxes.

[Moonshadow 17,676]

Tracc, Watts and Maynard would've got us gold in Rio.

[M_9 2,082]

Hope he can boot the ball as far as his brother.

[dazzledavey36 54,951]

Wait what?

How the [censored] does Jay Clark get his info from? Does anyone know anything about him??

[DeeSpencer 25,717]

The last few years I've been disappointed we haven't been able to use our Category B rookie spots but now with Smith and Maynard we will be using them and using them pretty well I think. 

To get 2 father sons, both high level sportsmen who grew up playing the game and have basketball movement skills is really good recruiting I think. 

At the least it helps Casey and gives us extra depth. 

[demonoid 317]

Can't read the article. Won't pay for a subscription for the scum. What's his background history in footy? How old is he

[faultydet 7,594]

The brother is a hard prikc. Hope ours is the same, but I'm guessing it's a trait we target with high importance now.

Interesting pick up.

 

So can you sign basketballers any time you like? Is that a cross-code rule thingy?

 

[Bates Mate 4,487]

I like it. Ive been following his brother since his push and shove with hogan . He had toughness in that exchange and has shown it everytime ive watched Collingwood. Hopefully his brother hss the same traits .

As well as working for the HS and MMM he does some work at Collingwood in some of their in house media. 

Aside from that he seems a hard working and smart journo. Not saying it's easy but it's hardly rocket science. Get sources and contacts in places, listen out for things, ring around and write fair articles that result in sources and contacts being willing to give you more info.

If at least 5 clubs were in to Maynard and he was training with Casey and Crossy then it's not like this was a top secret mission.

[daisycutter 29,616]

we'll grab his brother in a year or so too when the filth go into a rebuild after flicking figjam 

[dazzledavey36 54,951]

All i can gather so far is that he is 191cm tall.

24 has been playing college basketball, NBL and in Finland, stopped playing in year 10, kick 14 goals in a school match.

[dazzledavey36 54,951]

He's a big unit by the looks of it.

[McQueen 17,864]

How is this possible?

Has this something to do with Roos speaking about Lumumba going on to the long term injury list?

[Demi Dee 578]

Really thought his brother was a good fit in his draft year, didn't realise the family connection, love this win over other clubs. Only upside in this call.

You know that for sure?

How so?

Only based on his brother being an MFC supporter.

[DeeZee 7,397]

Father works in the office and he played a few games for Melbourne

I wasn't even aware of that.

Where was that announced? Excuse my ignorance please.
