"Forever Young' just came on the radio and it will always be your song. It will be two years soon but we will allways remember you as someone who took the bull by the horns and had an awesome smile.
Chris Mainwaring was my favourite Eagles player growing up.
He was my hero and my inspiration. I miss Mainy everyday.
His funeral was touching and very upsetting. The bit i remember the most was when Mainy's son Zac started crying.
I went to the Chris MAinwaring tribute match last year and it was great to see how many people appreciated chris.
We all miss you Mainy!!

It always amazes me how people post wonderful thoughts immediately after the event of a loss but nothing further! I met Chris in Vancouver around 1995 or 96 he was playing football there. We had a very brief but everlasting connection in my spirit...Strangely enough after all these years I have had dreams about Chris in the last two weeks. I did not know he has passed on. I feel very sad to know such an amazing person has left under such a terrible experience. We were so intrigued by each other from Canada to Perth he wanted me to come and visit so many times...but I was afraid to be so far from my friends and family. I will cherish his twinkling blue eyes and light heart and great smile!
I am grateful for our short but everlasting experience.

A beautiful service to remember an amazing man. Many thanks to the Mainwaring Family and Channel 7 who made it possible for us and so many others to share in this special day. From the good old days at East Fremantle to the unbelievable, exciting days with West Coast Eagles - you were always the smiling star with time for everyone. Our prayers and condolences to Chris' beautiful children, Maddie and Zac and to all the extended Mainwaring family. RIP Mainy - may you soar higher and higher for ever and a day.

Mainy, RIP cuz!! You were my 3rd cousin and I only met you a few times, but you always had time and a laugh for everyone. Deepest sympathy to Leah, Hub, Rani and your gorgeous children. Your exuberance and lust for life will be sorely missed. Heaven won't know what's hit it when you get there :o)
