There are a Few Like Maynard that can Spray the Ball

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

There are still idiots bagging this kid out?

 

[Kirby]

How good was that pick up and fend off in the first?

This kid will be good.

 

[legendstatus]

So you are starting to think you were wrong

No I don't think so? I along with 99% of posters were saying the same thing, where have you been?

Ok today, needs to sharpen up below his knees still.

I still stick to my original post, need more reference of data before we claim him as a Brownlow medalist

Yeah. I don't know what their agenda is but it makes this board unbearable at times.

 

[BEEG]

With more games and confidence this kid will be a beast for a long time

 

[Pedro]

Getting better all the time which is all you can ask really. He's been thrown in the deep end and probably just learning how to swim.

[nahnah]

This kid is destined for a Brownlow or 3

I knew you'd start to slowly come around

If he takes scalps like Stevie J every week I'll wear his player badge to work!

 

[Saintly Viewed]

For some their default position is, what can we say is wrong first.

 

[76woodenspooners]

He's still the third youngest kid on our list (behind only Sier and Crocker)

He has poise beyond his years and is developing very nicely

 

[Gungadin]

Has a bit of Elvis Presley about him.....in looks.
I like him. Takes the game on with a bit of dash. Give this young bloke time, he'll be a be gun.

 

[DAWESOME!!]

That one on one with Stevie J. made me sit up and say "wow". Was already a fan, but he'll make it.

 

[jmac70]

His parents should have called him Braynard.

 

[DuckToaster]

Keep building kid. Wait until he has another two pre seasons in him and he will have the body of a Greek god. He will be shrugging tackles as if it's your nan whose applying them.

This kid will be good.

nearly as good as when he ran back opposed to stevie J got the spoil, picked up the loose ball, sprinted away from stevie J and hit up sidebottom on the wing!

This was a brilliant piece of play which ended in a goal.

Of all the baffling selection issues we've had this year, backing this kid and picking him week after week is one thing they've gotten right and it's really starting to bear fruit.

I'm very bullish about his prospects.

Both Maynard & Ramsey have big futures as running backmen for years to come.
Both can defend 1 on 1 & have speed & foot skills & are not afraid to take the game on.
Maynard will have the odd brain fade & have days were he lowers his colours, but he is developing beautifully.
With Reid & Howe also down there our backline looks promising. Sinkers also gives us speed & run.
Didn't include Scharenberg because I haven't seen what he is capable of yet.

I've been critical of Buckley, but I must say I really like the re-shaping of this backline.

Last year, we were going in with Brown, Frost, Toovey, Williams and Goldsack.

It was just an uninspiring backline with no real flare or skill.

Compare it to this year where we have Reid, Marsh, Howe, Ramsey, Sinclair and Maynard. All of a sudden there is some real talent there. Marley Williams is still in that side as well. Taylor Adams looks good back there, and Scharenberg can still add another dimension.

The next challenge is to work out the best forward line mix.
