Past Jack Maibaum - delisted 2020

[Skeparovic]

Any update from anyone on how the knee reco surgery went for Maibaum?

Imagine the year Maibaum could of had this year, I think he is largely forgotten but was definately on track for senior footy and looked the goods. His injury could not have been more mistimed given how he was tracking.

Yep, hopefully the club keeps him around.

I always liked his defensive work at NEAFL and feel that he should have gotten a debut last year when Melican was out.

Instead of Allir? Surely not!

No not instead of Allir, Grundy missed 6 games in 2018 mostly towards the end of the year so there was a chance to get him some experience playing that Grundy role in the backline.

He was recruited with a longer term view and was never going to play prior to this year (source). Looked pretty solid in the pre-season and definitely was on track for this year, especially once Grundy went down. Hope they keep him, he’s a solid lad!

Delisted but fighting for a rookie list spot

With Pink already delisted, I'd definitely be adding Maibaum to the rookie list (given he's recovered well from his knee reconstruction).

 

[mtooler]

Dont mind him being cut to be honest.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Rookie spot for mine

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Hope he gets a rookie spot. We are short of KPDs.

 

[Citrus22]

Welcome back!

 

[RUNVS]

Glad he is back. I think he has all the tools he needs to be a great shut down tall defender.

I dunno about great, but certainly senior calibre. Got high hopes for him still.

 

[SwansProudly]

Welcome back Jack

Why do you say that? Was looking like a certain round 1 starter last season before his injury. After Melican didn't seize the KPD role last year, and only Brand brought in to the team in defence, he has every chance to play if fit.

 

[Nool Carpenna]

Best of luck Jack. Hope the injury gods smile upon you and you get the chance to put those big broad shoulders to use.

 

[WillHayward]

Obviously a very popular fella.

Only 21 yo still.

Could easily end up a gun still.

 

[mtooler]

Hopefully turns it around this year.

 

[scaryness]

Good call to bring him back. Would have been unfair to him to delist him after doing an ACL in his make or break contract year.

Buddy might not ever play again either.

 

[SeanM]

I am happy he was relisted. He has missed a whole year. But he is a fourth year player so he has the benefits of being physically developed and already knowing the defensive structures. He looked good in his second year and I thought he was a chance for a senior game late in that season.

I think there will be an open spot in defence for either Brand/Melican/McCartin/Maibaum.

Buddy will not only play - he will look slim and fabulous as well.
