I love your cute little backhanded shots at Moore in just about every thread. You're also wrong

Wow the pure strength. He's using Noble to do bicep curls.

You almost landed THIS
I opened the pic expecting to see Maynard giving Johnny an atomic squirrel grip
We are spared: ‘Out: Noble (squirrel)’

I see Bruzzy using Nobes as a blunt instrument to try and dispose of a disgusting rodent

I loved it when the siren went he was the first to go to Pendles.
Maynard is a great 'clubman', a term rarely used nowadays.
No dramas when signing contracts, just gives his all and looks like just wanting to play with his team-mates.
Am now forgiving of his brain fades and just expect one per game.
The biggest improvement from Maynard this season is that he has taken the shocking clanger that results in an opposition goal right out of his game. Almost every disposal is a good one. I don't recall any horrible clangers from him and I tend to remember them. He's been a rock this season. He always has been but he is cleaner now with his disposal.
I would definitely like to see a bit more of this. I had a comment in the GameDay thread about the absence of a power clearance mid without Adams and DeGoey (Grundy to a lesser extent) Elliot is capable for stints but Maynard is the other who I believe can fill that role, either muscling it out or negating the p*ss easy clearances we still see too often.
Hopefully it’s a Plan B option we can see a little more regularly .

Is he a bit sore? I feel like few guys are playing injured, true to his character he's still producing good footy.
Very good comments on Maynard at the bounce.
I recall Pagan sticking Carey into some bounces, eg in the 1999 GF, and Gary Ayres was a shock trooper at bounces in Yabby Jeans superb sides. Those Hawks weren't lacking in midfield brilliance but Conan added grunt when it was required.
Maynard is a tough smart player with strong hands and not fazed by heavy traffic, and hus excellent kicking would be very useful out of the centre.
On a wet day at crunch time it'd by a smart move, but obvioudly not if hes on some racehorse in perfect conditions.

I think Good Horse would know better, but I think Maynard as part of a heavy cavalry charge at centre bounces would be really effective.

Bruzzy qualifies as a Clydesdale, the highest of honours.

If we had twenty two like him we’d never lose a game

Will retire as one of the Collingwood greats. An exceptional player and clubman. Love everything about the way he plays football

The angrier Bruz gets, the better he plays.

He drives like he plays as well. A couple of years ago, nearly ran me off the road on his way to the under ground carpark at the MCG.
The pleasing thing is that I normally expect him to have a clanger or two per game but in the last two, haven't seen one unless I have had my eyes closed due to the closeness of the game.
He was unbelievable tonight.

Did I see him in a centre bounce tonight?

Interestingly, he attended 4 Center bounces.
That last Maynard take in the top 5 clip shows Maynard accelerating to top pace and smashing into the Melbourne player so hard it literally lifted him clean off his feet.
