I don't think Maxy was ever listed at another club prior to being rookied by the Pies. Had trained at a couple, not sure about North, but definitely had a go at the Cats.Piesnchess wrote:I have a gut feeling this kid could be a real surprise packet, ala Nick Maxwell, who got delisted by Norf, then came to us, and, well, you all know how far Maxy went, and what a great player he was.

Jack Cripps
Position: Key forward/ruckman
Height: 198 cm, Weight: 85 kg, DOB: 20/01/1996
Club: East Fremantle
Projected draft range: 20-50
Plays like: Drew Petrie
I Agree. Can we call one of them Colvan?
IT would be interesting to know how many people have had their lives changed by backing the winner of a Melbourne Cup, but there are a couple of them in the Mayes family.
Teddy Mayes used to deliver margarine in the Caulfield area. In 1942, he told customers on his delivery run that, if it looked like rain, to back Colonus.
Sure enough, it rained and Teddy plonked a few pounds on the long-shot.
It duly greeted the judge and, with his winnings, Teddy bought a potato chip business for his two sons, Colin and Ivan, and named it Colvan after them.
And for the next 30 years, Colvan chips was an Aussie institution.
Purveyor of sanctimonious twaddle.

Suggestion then for nicknames for Crisp:
Burnt
Smiths
Colvan
French
Quentin
