All good.
Where did I say nowhere near? I said being top in the AFL is long behind him. He was top in 2013, that is quite some time ago. Our forward line as a whole is 2nd in the league, not Mayne.
I have never disputed his elite forward pressure, and I don't intend to. He is amazing as a pressure forward but I don't think that is enough to compensate for his poor set shot kicking and other facets of his game that have dropped away since 2013. I thought I was pretty clear and balanced in my initial post that has somehow set everybody onto me.
I would not have used the words you used, if I meant
"A few years ago Mayne was the best pressure forward in the league, but for a few years now he has only been second or third best."
It reads that he had declined greatly, to the point where those days are long gone.
I'm not attacking you, by the way.
