Player Watch Brayden Maynard

[Lockyer24]

We've persisted and we will still need to be patient but at the end of the year we started to see the good stuff that elite half backs can do...defend well, set up attacks and also get forward and bomb some shots at goal when we have our opponent penned in

Hes had a very good month.

What would you rather talk about?

More misery.

There is writing players off early and then there is writing 19 year olds after 15 games played off early

 

[THATSGOLD]

Gifted games every week, never really played in the reserves for two and a bit years and doesn't produce in the senior team. How much longer can that go on? Yes he has up side I've heard of Luke Hodge claims and I simply don't see it.

Waiting for the oh he's only Xx old. Yes so was Daniel Farmer.

He's under rated!

A bull.

Let's just say he has Henry in the shade......

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

He hasn't been good so far this year. I liked the suggestion that he be allowed to play a forward role rather than defending. Give him a bit of freedom and see what he can produce. That we should give him Blair's role/spot. Worth a try.

 

[nahnah]

very much in the Aish, Broomy,Degoey, group that need to improve this year.

 

[Magpie Girl]

Merging

Nope, he's been a scapegoat on here for a couple of years. The board's just pre-occupied with bigger issues right now, that or people have become accustomed to his one brain fade per game.

In saying that he's still developing and I wouldn't mind seeing him up the ground or even at half forward.

Outside of a Few. Not Many been good this year

Several players haven't so much developed as gone backwards this year. Ramsay, Maynard, Blair, Moore, Reid, Fasolo, Crisp, Smith and Aish for starters.

And for all that how do you explain we only lost by 14 points to the reigning premiers

And that can be blamed on Blair who hasn't gone backwards....just his normal self .

Didn't help.

After two rounds potting players for "going backwards"" is a bit premature.

So Blairs been good Timmy?

By the way I think Maynard needs to get dropped.

Blairs been poor. Coming from a low base though, hence my joke about whther he has gone backwards or just his usual self. Maybe thet went over your head, Got plenty of ball in round one and was wasteful, didnt do much at all round two.

Whats your point? Ten players were named in a previous post that have allegedly "gone backwards". Way too early to be making those calls. Some better kicking in both rounds and the results may have been different.

I woulndt be dropping Maynard, he needs to work his way through it.

Umm.. To be replaced by who? At the moment, we have only 3 players his size to choose from.. Langdon (long term injury), Oxley, and Scharenberg. Schaz is too slow, and hasn't got the "cats head" hardness that Maynard has, and im not sure how he is performing in the VFL.

So he has made some errors. Who in our team over the first two games hasn't?

Blair has gone backwards that is fact.

As for Maynard.......straight swap Shaza. It's not like Maynard is quick anyway. The sooner Sinclair is back the better. I would even prefer Aish in Maynard's position to be honest.

The hard as a cats head is a myth.

Refer my post above for replacements.

By the way I think he will come good but needs to be dropped IMO.

Far easier to take cheap pot shots from the sidelines

(Happens to all clubs not winning)

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Scharendburg needs to wait for the actual VFL seaosn to start before knocikng on the door.

He is hard at it, but fair enough if you don't see it that way. We all see different things and have different views, and that's great.
As far as Schaz is concerned, my opinion on him is not that bullish. I can't see anything so compelling for him to be our saviour. Yes, he is composed, and his disposal seems good, but i think he is too slow to be a HBF in these times of "foward pressure" game styles. He will have to push up the ground when we are attcking, but on a turnover, he has to be fast to get back and defend. I see that as his weakness.
Anyway, i REALLY hope i am proven wrong. We need some good luck with our recent high draft picks..
