Right now he is just a boy playing a mans game and he hasn't been lost or overawed by the occasion.
It's easy to remember his couple clangers but it takes a few games to get used to the tempo no matter who you are. He does a lot of things well for a kid who has only played three games of senior footy. In a couple years time, he is going to be very hard to beat in a one on one contest, either in the air or at ground level. |
His tank was the Big Question Mark when he was Drafted but looks like it’s Improving.
He has had some Clangers but also some Lovely Kicks and uses the ball about 80%

He really has slipped way under my radar.
They tell me he is a good kick.
But I can't give any opinion whether it is great news or not. |
So let me get this right. You're fanatical enough to get on forums about the Pies, yet you don't know much about a Pies player? do you actually watch the footy and then make comments on here?
Just curious. |
You are a strange one.
So let me get this right - you are a fanatic if you get on this forum, does that include you?
And yes I don't watch the footy silly,
I dilly dally in the garden all day long!
And by the way have you got your new licence for printing rubbish on Nicks? |
This is a fan forum. Fan is a derivative of fanatic. So yes, when it comes to the Collingwood football club, most people who post here would regard themselves as fanatics. |
You should look up the meaning of fanatical - it covers much more than just a fan.
But lets not go down this stupid path.

Right on Dave ( although I hadn't heard that his endurance was a concern ) He played in the guts in the TAC and was rated very highly in data ranking points for TAC midfielders. Also worth noting he finished top ten at the combine in both the 5 meter sprint and kicking accuracy. Obviously quick off the mark too.
I recently spoke to the TAC development officer for the South East region who said he couldn't believe he fell through to pick 30. I wanted to put my hand up quick about this kid but I reckon swoop got in before me. |

I think he's going to be a good pick up for us. I know he's made some rookie errors of judgement and execution but some of the targets he's hit, his kicking looked truly sublime.

Excellent news! I've seen enough of Maynard to think he's going to develop into a good player for us so this is really good news to demonstrate that he's committed to the club.
I hope Scharenberg re-signs soon!

"Maynard – who is renowned for his precise and powerful left boot"
but no-one at Collingwood can kick just ask the naysayers

And I reckon we'll be adding Abbott to that list next season as well. |
