Player Watch Brayden Maynard

[morelli89]

Love the contested marks and kicking in the highlights!

 

[Buckley is my hero]

Big bodied defensive mid. Exactly the sort of player we need. He and DeGoey hopefully will have long careers at Collingwood. Well done Hine.

 

[speedytiger]

A left footer who is a sweet kick! You f-ing pissa

 

[Demonalke]

Welcome to Collingwood son.

Any puns for Maynard?

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

He looks bigger than what I would have thought 187 looks like.

 

[Baird]

Welcome to Collingwood son.

Any puns for Maynard?

We may or Maynard use pick 75.

I'll see myself out.

With kids like Menadue, Blakely and Lamb sitting there Dekka must have really had a bit of hard-on for Maynard...

Love this selection.

Big frame, good kick and a genuine unsociable footballer.

Just the type we need.

A left-footer who has a powerful and precise kick, Maynard spent most of his season as a rebounding half-back. It was there that he proved himself a big-bodied brute who can stop his opponent while giving important drive.

He likes to tackle (he averaged six a game through the season) and is ultra-competitive: he attacks the ball and contest with ferocity, and isn't afraid of body contact. He puts everything on the line, and it's easy to see how supporters will warm to him.

Late in the season that toughness was on display as a midfielder, having shifted up the ground for the Dragons in the absence of injured skipper Angus Brayshaw.

Maynard (186cm, 88kg) played the role perfectly, using his speed (he's tested 2.98 seconds over 20 metres), poise and foot skills to make a difference with the ball, and his contested ball-winning ability to rip it out of packs.

In the last two finals for the Dragons he averaged 25 disposals and 11 handball receives, showing a step up in his ability to cover the ground. Across the season for the Dragons he averaged 22 disposals.

If he's anything like that write up I'll be happy. Sounds like a ripper

Thanks Glenelg for not playing his Dad for 200 Games

 

[Prestige Presti]

Maynard's 2 games short of being qualified as a father/son pick at Adelaide, if he becomes a gun Adelaide will be spewing.

Thanks Glenelg for not playing his Dad for 200 Games

2 games shy of father-Son rule for Adelaide.

Looks good. Big hard bodied back with a thumping left. Really like this pick.

 

[Tbone McGraw]

I am coming round to this selection. Seems a hine/rendall special.

 

[Rusty Beam]

A great kick who think's he's like Jordan Lewis, yeah he'll do.

I compare him to the one who must not be named... HODGE

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

Good work on all these threads TradeDraft

 

[SApies]

Is it just me?

 

[Seedsfan]

Wanted him at pick 30 a while back then I didn't think he would make it hear so I am very happy we got him

A bit like Hodge more like Luke Parker, going to be a star this bloke.

 

[jefffff34]

Seems very similar to Malceski.
