AFL: The Pies pulled off a massive comeback against the Kangaroos, hanging on to a one point victory at Marvel.
In Maynard’s 200th game, Collingwood kicked 12 goals to five after the main break for a momentous victory, but the premiership-winner’s thoughts quickly shifted to the friend and his family.
“I’m really lost for words,” the 27-year-old began. “It probably wasn’t our day, they brought the pressure, brought the heat, they had most of the game on their terms.Brayden Maynard's emotional post-match tribute.“Yes it was a milestone for myself, but that is a team performance. Team first mentality.It was when Maynard, who was wearing a black armband, was asked about his journey with the Pies that he divulged the devastating news.
He is also renowned of course for his spoil gone wrong on Angus Brayshaw in last year’s finals series that left the star Demon with another concussion and ultimately retiring from the sport.
