Toast Chris Mayne's a Legend. Re-signed until 2021

[Leviathan Pie]

If he could kick over a jam-tim we'd have played off for a Premiership.

I'm sure its borderline minimum wage.

 

[JezzasOnTheAsphalt]

Would of waitedon this one

Could do a Greenwood and bust a knee

So could anyone.

I don’t recall Mayne’s knee being especially troublesome or prone to busting.

 

[Help My Club]

Great club man and pretty handy when it comes to finals performances.

 

[legendstatus]

Fair signing at a lower rate so good on him

The Hun reported it's a legitimate extension rather than spreading his money over two years.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

An absolute professional and very well deserved. Well done Mayney, here's to a great 2020 season.

 

[barrackers]

If he could kick over a jam-tim we'd have played off for a Premiership.

I'm sure its borderline minimum wage.

And if others had played to the maximum of their ability as Mayne did in the 2018 GF we’d have won the flag that season.

The 2 things aren't mutually exclusive.

Probably true.

His grand final performance in 2018 was sensational. He almost got us over the line.

 

[mike123]

I reckon that's what they've done but I doubt they wouldn't sweeten the deal, even if by only a couple of hundred $K and/or even skewed it to next year if they face a big payout to Beams from this years TPP.

Otherwise he’d essentially be working for free next year.

 

[Black_White]

Pity we will lose him when his playing career is over. Appears he is launching towards being a senior coach one day.

Meet a key figure behind Collingwood Football Club veteran Chris Mayne's remarkable resurgence

A stranger in the gym has turned out to be one of Chris Mayne's most vital support people in his remarkable turnaround at Collingwood.

"One day we will all be back together again [in Perth] where they can see the kids grow and be a part of it all," Mayne says.

"We had a discussion about pursuing another year or do we want to go back home?
But I am craving it [a premiership]. I want it really bad."

better that way any way. Our cap squeeze is next year and beyond so no point shifting his pay to next year
Or

makes no sense to pay over two years, our salary cap issues are next year and beyond so if anything id forward pay him

 

[iGNITER]

Looked good off half back.

 

[left at home]

While l don’t think he is a legend, he gives it all every game on a limited skill set, plays with in it.
I do think he is a great clubman and deserves an extra year.

 

[jackcass]

Actually it makes very good sense.

Firstly, he's on a reported $500k this year before re-signing. If he's signs for an extra year and it costs us an extra couple of hundred $k then we can reduce the annual amount to (say) $350k per year freeing up $150k into the salary cap.

Secondly, what we save doing this and something similar with Pendles will likely save the extra $$$'s we will need to make the Beams payout this year without overstepping the TPP in 2020. That extra cash will then flow into 2021 and can be added to the money we'd already budgeted for Beams giving us an additional $600-750k (for arguments sake) toward the retention of Moore and JDG. Add that several like Varcoe, Dunn, and Reid are more likely than not to depart and we've freed up their salary as well, would mean we're as well positioned as we could possibly be.

Fair to say most people were wrong about him

There was an article on the weekend around how he helps the younger players with game reviews, chopping up footage etc.
you can't have enough of these types of players at a club, good citizens who care about the collective.

I hope the last couple of years start to set a real precedent - Mayne, Roughead, Mihocek etc- bringing in good people to the club, and we learn that no matter how talented the Beams' of the world are, they aren't worth it.

If Langdon could rush a behind we'd have another premiership.

Still too soon.

Don't think I'll ever truly get over that day.

This. Too soon.

Still too soon.

I drove home from Melbourne to Canberra the next day 7.5 hours in the car. Longest car trip of my life.
I remember walking around the city after the game that night. Numb.
The next week. Walking around just numb.

this. I know it sounds harsh - and it’s not fair - but I remember that moment and it’s always stuck in my mind as the turning point of that game. That settled them.

I know he played amazingly afterwards and you can’t blame one player, like a butterfly effect it just seemed to be the moment that kick started their confidence. They were so spooked before that.

 

[AndrewShawble]

same. It’s probably the greatest definition of missed opportunity whenever I think of the term. We were there. We had no right to be, it was ours and we gave it back.
