“…. Benny and Taz were two of my best mates, along with Dids (Alan Didak), and they said they weren't going to let me fall out of the club without finding what my best was and they absolutely drove me and tore into me non-stop for an entire summer," he says. "Johnno doing all the running with me and screaming at me the whole time to be better and Taz making me do all the weights with him, no matter how tired I might be.
"With my attitude, I probably wasn't going to listen to guys like Bucks (Nathan Buckley) or Jimmy (Clement) or the other leaders, but I did it with those guys because they were my mates and I knew they were trying to help me."
After 13 and 14 games respectively in 2004 and 2005, he would be a regular player from 2006 and never looked back from there as the Magpies built towards a premiership.â€

  • Talking about booing...not much support from the AFL about the Maynard Booing from opposition supporters (NT) -- Carringbush 35er, 05:55 20/06/24 Thu
