Overview

  • The extension runs through the end of 2029, reinforcing Maynard’s vice-captaincy and leadership role.
  • Maynard has featured in 218 games since his 2014 draft and stated he intends to remain a Magpie for life.
  • He ruptured his plantar fascia two weeks ago and will miss at least one more match after the upcoming bye.
  • North Melbourne, Adelaide, Port Adelaide and Sydney indicated he could have earned close to $1 million per year elsewhere.
  • Collingwood plans to supplement its veteran core of Steele Sidebottom, Scott Pendlebury and Jeremy Howe by targeting academy players Zac McCarthy, Tom McGuane, Jai Saxena and father–son hopeful Oscar Lonie.
