How the hell do you come up with "Less than two days after topping the magpies disposal count against Norwood"
I think I recall it once before when one of the Rucks went down with Back Spasms, maybe Brogan?Sam Mayes is an underrated player by some. Sam's great strength is his versatility as he can play forward or back. Add to that his 111 AFL games experience and it makes him the perfect sub and a valuable asset on our list.
I assume Sam will be credited with an SANFL game and an AFL game on the same day. How often has that happened?

Mayes is the exact kind of depth you look for in a premiership side. An experienced, composed and reliable body who can play in multiple positions. Has definitely found his spot now up forward with stints in the midfield rather than on the flank.
Depending on how our injuries go, I could very well see him being our version of Dom Sheed in 2018 - was stuck in the WAFL for a while and couldn't get a game at the Eagles until Gaff killed Brayshaw. I would take Mayes in over Bonner, Woodcock or Williams every day of the week.
I think people take a while to warm up to him because he doesn't have those flashy moments or X-factor but when you're surrounded by Motlop, Rozee and hopefully Gray, Butters and Fantasia soon, it's not like we are sorely lacking that element in the mix. I'd give him a run until we get the cavalry back and see how we go.
