Would you consider Maynard as a free agent? I know he's fairly unpopular amongst opposition supporters but I feel like he's a player you would love when he's on your team.

Brayden Maynard’s Collingwood future

Heart-and-soul Magpie Brayden Maynard is happy to play further into the season without a new deal as he comes further to grips with the possibility of leaving Collingwood.

The durable and beloved premiership player is due to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of this year and at 28, could be eyeing the last big contract of his career.

The 211-game defender drew interest from North Melbourne in last year’s trade period and his defensive toughness fits with almost any side in the league.

Maynard said in February he was expecting a deal to be done soon with Collingwood, but now he is focusing on his game, coming off a rare two-goal performance in a thumping win over Port Adelaide on Saturday.

Collingwood brought in rebounding defender Dan Houston and Giants midfielder Harry Perryman on deals around $800-900,000 each, setting a market for Maynard to pursue in negotiations.

“I am going to let my footy do the talking for the next little while,” Maynard told this masthead.

“Like I said a little while ago, I would feel weird in another jumper but it is a business so whatever happens, happens.

“I love Collingwood and we have a great culture here, so we will see what happens.”

Maynard battled a difficult plantar fasciitis injury in pre-season but has played unhampered through Collingwood’s opening two games of the season.

Fellow 2023 flag winning Pies Scott Pendlebury, Steele Sidebottom, Jamie Elliott, Will Hoskin-Elliott, Jeremy Howe, Brody Mihocek, Mason Cox and Oleg Markov are all due to be free agents at the end of this season.

Maynard won’t come to us.

[Grantysghost]

Maynard won’t come to us.

I don't think that's a bad thing. At the price he would be wanting I'd rather not.

Agree, I wouldn't want him

Don't be surprised if the Dogs make a play for Leek Allir.

[lemmon]

Big upside, why hasn't he played more at GWS?

[jeemak]

Brayden Maynard if he came to the Dogs would be the most aptly named player we've had since Steve MacPherson. I've never come across a bigger Brayden Maynard than Brayden Maynard.....same goes with Super. His name typified his ilk.

Outside of that, we'd just be overpaying and we have enough on our plate to get settled.

[Happy Days]

Don't be surprised if the Dogs make a play for Leek Allir.

Will he come to us or are we too sad and pathetic and embarrassing again?

[josie]

I reckon our team would benefit from Maynard. One tough hombre and puts his body on the line. Doubt he’d want to join us & doubt we’d want to pay big bucks for him either.

You are underselling it BAD..underselling it big time

[azabob]

Lemmon no idea how to reply to your comment but the reason Leek Alair hasn't played more for GWS is they legit have the best two key defenders in the league.

Taylor and who?

[Sedat]

Taylor and who?

Buckley. He's a gun.

[Bigdog]

I’m a bit skeptical about Leek. His interception marking is very good, but his kicking and decision making with ball in hand leaves a lot to be desired. Not sure how much his disposal will improve as his mid 20s either.

Saints keep trying
