Imagine having players with brute force like Wills, a bigger stronger De Goey and Maynard smashing packs open, running through the middle of the ground and feeding the ball out to Pendles and Treloar. I'm excited. |
Jackson Ramsey is even better than Maynard.Imagine how good our 1/2 back line will be when we have Maynard Ramsay Langdon to choose from leaving Adams to go back to the mid field where he belongs.. |
Maynard, Ramsay, Langdon and Scharenberg. |
Apparently??? No one rates Scharenberg but I'll add him every day of the week. |
Based on what he showed in the VFL and his 2 or 3 senior games I was not impressed by Scharenberg at all. However, the weight of opinion by those with far better football pedigrees than me, who rate him as an A grade talent, is such that I have joined the Schaz bandwagon. Let's just hope that the kid has an injury free season next year and begins to build a wonderful career with the Pies. |
It's funny how two people can watch the same thing and have different opinions about what they have seen. I can't wait for Scharenberg to be fit and in the team. In the little that I saw of him I saw glimpses of a top quality player. He instinctively knows where he should be and when he should be there. He has great poise. Those traits will serve him well, assuming that he can get fit and rack up some games. |

I bow to your better judgement. After all, I never thought Aish, Swanny or Heater would be any good.
So given my shocking record at recognising talent, I hope I haven't put the mozz on Wills and De Goey by picking them as future stars. |

It may transpire that your only error in judgement is believing that I have better judgement. I hope I do but time and injuries will tell. |

Has alright of tools to be a really good footballer. I can't decide whether he is just raw or lacks footy smarts though - could be a combination of both.
Love how bullocking he is though, and I love it when he absolutely hoofs it. Can really break open the play with a boot like that _________________ Brown re his GF omission:

Really, you've killed someone for less? Really?
So who's this Braynard anyway? Is he a fictitious somebody

And watch your step. we wouldn't won't you step on your knuckles. _________________ no second chances |

^ Scharenberg actually coming in to play and develop, assuming his two possible weak spots have been fixed, is really gaining a first round draft pick next year. That is seriously good news.
An on topic, Maynard is growing every week, and he's 20. He looked pretty damaging coming off hard back as a runner against the Suns, and that left boot goes a long way. _________________ Two more flags before I die! |

Post subject: Maynard to Full Forward? | |
|
I was wondering today how Brayden Maynard would go playing at full forward. In no way am I putting him in the same class as Dustin Martin, but he does have some similar qualities. There's no doubt the kid gives it his all, yet let's face it he gets caught out playing in the backline.
Is there anyone else on the list who could switch roles? |

I had wondered about him playing forward, but I do not think he is particularly strong overhead, which you need as a forward. I can't recall him taking a contested mark. Nice kick, though, and has a few goals to his name off the HBF. _________________ Two more flags before I die! |

Ok. Wouldn't you like Bucks to mix things up when things aren't working? After Griffiths went down Thursday, I thought here's a chance to swing Reid forward. But no, nothing changed. Does it ever? |

Let's put Blair at Full Back, Sidey in a back pocket and Lynden Dunn on the ball.

Maynard as a FF? Next you will be saying we should make Blair the captain / coach. |
