Player Watch Brayden Maynard

[swoop42]

The only doubt was the propensity of the AFL to make themselves look foolish.

Never any doubt that his football this season warranted selection and it would have been outrageous for him to not be acknowledged for it.

Congratulations Brayden. Thoroughly deserved.

BRUZZY

I remember well the angst from the usually campaigners when this kid was ‘gifted’ games early in his career. Was always a smart investment. This kid always looked a rough diamond.

 

[Sea fog]

The lynchpin of our defence.

 

[PieBeast]

There's so much gold in this thread early on, especially on pages 30+

Well deserved Bruz.

 

[Soups]

Can’t kick, brain farts, won’t make it.

This bloke is up there with my favourite player ever to put on the black and white stripes. You know what you’re going to get week in, week out. Heart and soul of this club and I really hope I get to see him put a medal around his neck one day to go with many other accolades

 

[piespremiers26]

Well done Maynard.

Well deserved recognition for a great year.

 

[Horaceg]

Nothing but admiration for this bloke and the way he goes about.

Maynard + IQ + Moore + Daicos x 2 the only players I wouldn’t want to lose

Everyone else is replaceable at the right offer for us.

Wouldn't want to lose degoey either. You need more than 6 good players to win games.

I love the Maynartaur, should have multiple AA, but better late than never.

He’s become exactly the type we Love at Collingwood - hard, strong and loyal….


An astute choice, become like a pillar from the Parthenon, always stands up.

We lose a few games without old mate Elliott, imagine him breaking our hearts elsewhere.

Could almost slap 42 on his back, reminds me a little of the guy who wore it last.

More than deserving the honor of All Australian.

Congratulations Bruzzy.

Geez, I reckon you've nailed it there... He is definitely the most Millane-like that we've had in a while. I genuinely dislike the fact that we retired 42, and I'd love to see it come out of retirement and given the Maynard. And I think he would handle it perfectly.

 

[jonbe54]

Bruzzy is DEFINITELY a throw back.

Hard, strong, relentless and bruising he would be right at home playing beside Leeter - such a committed player - committed to his mates and the club.

Sadly we still have some aren't.

 

[DuckToaster]

A diamond amongst those rough during those few years of poorly executing at the draft. Absolute jet and hopefully remains a pie for life.

I have thought the same he has all the characteristics, including much loved.
My only concern is the attention it may draw and whether it impacts the way he plays.
I may be over-thinking btw.
Be interested to see what the Millane family said though.

The number 42 is retired.
It's not like the number 35.

If Pants gave the OK then that's a different story.

Are you in contact with Pants?

Noticed Bruzzy picked up and consoled Docherty after the siren for a good 10 seconds or so, and after Cripps went down in the 3rd quarter and sat forward for a bit he made sure he was ok and gave him a pat on the chest. Granite on the outside but a softy on the inside. My mancrush on him is off the charts.

I watched Maynard console Cripps. He patted him, chatted to him, hung around to check on him before the trainers got there. He’s a big softie.

He gives me tips.

No idea who the 'usual campaigners' were but I wasn't one of them. Can't remember much criticism of him to be honest. Always best to avoid using a toast post to sling off at an unknown posters in a bid to blow your own trumpet.

Well done to the boy. He is an absolute stalwart in our back half and one of the major reasons we made the 4 this year.

Would be worthy.
