#4 Brayden Maynard

[MatthewBoydFanClub]

His whole focus should be on winning the Copeland trophy and he's good enough to do it, but he needs to play consistent footy to do it, which up till now he hasn't done. Treloar does it. Pendles does it. Swanny did it. Now it's up to him to do it.

Maynard is growing into one of my favourite players. It will be interesting to see whether the coaches keep him in defence, or whether they try to play him in the midfield on a more frequent basis this year.

He looked good in the middle when we played Melbourne in our final match last year but clearly he needs to keep building up his fitness to have any chance of playing midfield frequently, but he didn't look out of his depth in that role and I'd like to see us persist with it if we can.

Entering his fourth year now, I think he's tracking along well with his development and I look forward to seeing him make further progress and maturity.

AFL Live and a Maynard article report, all his 5 seasons he has created a journal for each with complete dossier on all his opponents—from his experience,replays and info from coach,s

But I wish our club would ban all player interviews during September.

Wow, that's pretty impressive for a 23 year old to be so studious!!

Maynard's book of grudges, would read for last year's GF would need amendment to would have spoilt Sheed but Fake Willie Rioli employed an illegal block.

And a recent post Sidey and Tay 4 captain

Blokes with Bruzz,s intense and deep delving into the nitty gritty is potential material for that role (would it temper by his own admission his “white line fever”)

[LaurieHolden]

Gee whiz, hope they're just drawings and not like The Taylor diaries, he might find himself on the outer come selection time like Old Bristle.

Maynard has a mark of the year nomination from Sunday.

He had a great game on the ground and in the air on Sunday.

I saw that some responded in the match day but thought the nomination deserved a thread.

Well done!

Obviously playing the Jeremy Howe role now.

[What'sinaname]

Would love to see a different angle to see how high he got.

I like IQ's forearm to the shoulder blades of the Freo player.

^ not sure there wasn't a free kick there - but I'll take it.

Liking IQ in the backline - he's going to be a great player for us
