Certainly wouldn’t be anyone internally who doesn’t value the guy. I love him.

Niall:

'Maynard’s father Peter is a former Melbourne player and long-time Demons official who is still involved in the club via Casey in the VFL program. Maynard said while he discussed his own game with his father, they did not talk about Collingwood and Melbourne when the teams clashed.'


I didn't know that!!

Maynard's grandfather Graham Campbell played 151 games for Fitzroy and won their B&F in 1957.
His father Peter played only 8 games for Melbourne, but 217 SANFL games.
His (older) brother Corey played 2 games for Melbourne, 1 each in 2017 and 2018 (sadly, both losses).

Redemption is sweet, no dog Rosebury to take 2023 away from you and us, unlike 2018.
