Do we actually think Maynard plays mid? He’s an elite defender so it kind of feels like robbing Paul to pay Peter type thing. JDG currently missing still so I wonder if that potentially pushes him back out if he does start out as a mid this year. Could be a ripper pick but I’m not sure I’m sold yet. Any pies fans want to shed light? creamPIES ?
I’m very confident maynard plays midfield this season. Adams is the only other one with a little bit of grunt, but you can’t rely on him to play a full season. JDG I’m expecting to play majority forward again, hasn’t been training with the group so providing he gets the go ahead, I can’t see him playing anymore then 50% mid, pendles hinted this in a recent interview. Sidebottom and pendles will start to be phased out of the middle to make room for the kids playing hff and hbf respectively. And n.daicos might get a pinch hit thru the middle but I’m expecting him to be solely a half back flanker as they want to develop his defensive ability. Ruscoe has also had a massive pre season training with that bloke darcy and jackson have been, our half back line is probably the strongest on the field, hence the maynard move.
In short form I expect our midfield group to be adams maynard lipinski macrae with j.daicos poulter or maybe hoskin elliot on the wings, expect mcinnes to get a early debut providing his fit, and de goey probably gets the occasional cba.
