It's gone quick.

I still remember when he debuted alongside Darcy Moore against the Hawks back in 2015.

Congratulations to Bruzza! His black hair, fiery eyes and imposing physique are by now part of the Collingwood psyche. He is the enforcer on our backline and deals swiftly and brutally with any opponent who tries to harrass one of ours. He is a magnificent player, and his 200th game is one to be celebrated. Bring it on Bruzza!!
Have a beauty.
Free Julian Assange!!

Sounds like he didn't exactly have a great week leading up to this milestone.
Hard to be focussed on performing to your best, with that sort of noise in the background...

'It's very emotional': Maynard opens up on private pain
Collingwood coach Craig McRae praises Brayden Maynard after the 200-gamers difficult build-up to the North Melbourne game

"I've had a mental health (challenge) with one of my really good mates. He passed away; he took his own life a couple of Sundays ago. It is very emotional," Maynard told AFL.com.au in the rooms on Sunday.

Great article.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Wish we didnt feel the need to merge threads. A part of the reason NBB has fallen apart.

Contract watch: post 11 years' service, Maynard becomes an UFA next year. He'll still be 29 come 2025 seasons end, so I'd expect some decent offers to be floated in front of his manager.
He's as much of a part of Collingwoods DNA as we've had for the past decade and a player I wouldn't want to see part ways, but he'd be a rare commodity on any team list that requires that sort of player.

Ha, I'd never want to see Brayden Maynard traded from Collingwood, but I love to see the Melbourne supporters reactions to the rumor that he will be traded to Melbourne as a straight swap for Petracca. :lol: :lol:

^...but he was a mad, keen Melbourne supporter as a child! That's gotta count for something...the media always seems to think so.
