Damien Barrett on his weekly video with Llyod mentioned North have cooled a bit on Mayne. Here's hoping the crow defenders walk the ball out of Norfs forward line on Saturday night. I still think they'll take him, hopefully for decent coin too.

Haha, are you trolling? Surely there's been enough revisionist history on this thread already. If anyone killed our momentum in that game it was Fyfe, or Ballas. Blaming Mayne for that one is a crackerIf it wasnt for maynes kicking, Peter Bell would of handed us our 2013 flag to us. That, in my eyes, would of been epic
no, not trolling. Peter Bell is one of my favourite all time favourite dockers along with troy cook.Haha, are you trolling? Surely there's been enough revisionist history on this thread already.

It would have, but your statement that Mayne's kicking cost us the 2013 flag is just clearly wrong.no, not trolling. Peter Bell is one of my favourite all time favourite dockers along with troy cook.
It just would of been a beautiful site seeing Bell give Pav the cup
Nah mate.If it wasnt for maynes kicking, Peter Bell would of handed us our 2013 flag to us. That, in my eyes, would of been epic
He did kick a brilliant goal, from outside 50 to get us to within 3 points. Never felt so pumped before that moment, spine tingling. He kept Birchall quiet all game.If it wasnt for maynes kicking, Peter Bell would of handed us our 2013 flag to us. That, in my eyes, would of been epic
I was at the game, my god I felt a new level of pump at that moment.............. oh manHe did kick a brilliant goal, from outside 50 to get us to within 3 points. Never felt so pumped before that moment, spine tingling. He kept Birchall quiet all game.
And if you're looking for players to say denied us the premiership, look at Ballas or D. Pearce. Both absolutely choked that day, remembered Ballas in the middle of the ground, running towards the ball and slipping like he just ice skated for the first time in his life. That was horrid, my dad never fails to bring that up every time Ballas stuffs up since.

I'm still bewildered that he hasn't tried to change his set shot routine in the last three seasons. Clearly it's not working. What are our skills coaches doing?Sad memories, brother. I got a terrible feeling watching warmups from my seat at the MCG as Ballas was practicing his goal kicking and kept missing and dejectedly shaking his head. That said...I was again watching Freo during warmups, this time at Etihad Stadium before Rd 1 this year and watched Chris Mayne look bewildered as he missed every kick he attempted...

Or is this just another "it's up to the players".
- It's up to the players what kind if boots they wear.
- We don't practice tackling techniques it's up to the players.
- It's up to the players how they take their set shots.
I just find AFL level footballers that regularly miss sitters bizarre. They can do stuff on a field that probably 99.9% of us on BigFooty could only dream of.. but can't effortlessly nail a goal from 25m straight in front which a lot of us that have played ammos at crap levels could comfortably kick 9/10 from down at the local park.Sad memories, brother.

Without out a doubt it is psychological. Watching the women's game you could see how much more pressure they felt kicking set shots in front of a big crowd and a few 100,000 watching on TV. Public speaking is the #1 fear and I reckon kicking set shots in AFL is equally nerve racking. Maybe we aren't privvy to what happens behind closed doors to help this but looking externally it doesn't look like much does. With all that money you'd think they'd spend as much on equipping their minds as they do on their bodies.I just find AFL level footballers that regularly miss sitters bizarre.

I assumed Mayne's problem was just in his head, choking in games in front of the crowd in the moment which is a bit understandable. But apparently he also struggles with it at training under no pressure

North.are apparently after Zach T from Carlton so Mayne might not get that lucrative deal and hand us that lovely second round pick.
They play different positions though. Still a chance.

Thuohy from CarltonHaving a bit of a mental blank, who is Zach T again?
