#16 Chris Mayne

[Leave it, It's Billy E's]

Curly is talking with us and our old enemies...
Not a bad player and still only 28...
Could be a Luke Ball type who just lifts us the extra notch...
Also, on our wen site, young Brown seems a certainty, mentioned as a Caleb Daniel type who is ready to go...
I would still love Daicos...
Man was I lucky to see that bloke play...

Would be happy to recruit Chris Mayne. Applies good defensive pressure in the forward line. Would assist the development of Moore.

A better Goldsack type forward. Not the worst would we could do.

[matrix10]

straight swap for cloke would be about as good as we could get.

Will also likely compete with Blair- so anti-Blair brigade may end up happy

I'd say Buckley's number one complaint over the year was lack of forward pressure. It was a big part of why Cloke missed games. Mayne's signing would make a lot of sense.

Comparison stats between Mayne and Blair who played similar forwar roles over the past 4 years. Is Mayne worth $500k?

Very similar!

[Raw Hammer]

Does Blair get our marked by a 5'10" opponent?
Does Mayne not give first option to baulk and sell candy to invisible players?
Has Blair ever turned a game off his own boot like all small forwards should?

[Presti35]

I mentioned Mayne months ago and almost lost my posting rights.

[Raw Hammer]

Mayne, who turns 28 in November, has been a consistent goalkicker in his nine seasons with Fremantle, but has made his name with elite defensive pressure.

Mayne has led Fremantle in tackles for the past two seasons – 122 in 2015 and 119 this year – and also topped that statistic in his breakthrough 2011 season.

He is coming off a solid year in 2016, when he did not miss a game and kicked 18 goals in Freo's first 15 matches before spending time across half-back in the latter part of the season.
