not even close.....Is Maynard a better KPD than Moore? He seems tougher and stronger.
Can't even believe it was asked. Intercept defenders are much more value than the lock-down roles Maynard specialises innot even close.....
He's still young and we know he is going to mature into a very good footballer, he's pretty good now.Been a frustrating year for me with IQ. Not with his form or development, but more with how he is playing or being played. There are three issues for me. First, he is probably our most reliable kick out of defence. But he seems to play more of the lock down role while Noble is playing more loose and being the link. One is a 9 out of 10 kick and the other a 6 out of 10. Second, he very, very rarely takes kick outs. One of my great frustrations has been watching him grab the ball from a behind and flick it across to Mayne to kick out. Third, he is a very, very good mark, but he rarely goes for them. Appreciate his discipline in punching, but I just want to see him back himself.

If you watched IQ at junior level that is exactly the instinct he had, but with a better balance between attack and defend.Noble doesn't play loose, it just looks like that because he leaves his man to get to the contest to help out his teammates. It is an instinct / mindset for attacking that he has that IQ doesn't.
Are you sure? I never saw him play, but IQ wasn't a very high possession winner as a junior.If you watched IQ at junior level that is exactly the instinct he had, but with a better balance between attack and defend.
The club has clarified that the first part of his given name is pronounced the same as the "qui" in quinoa.
But then again you may have recently mentioned that Game Of Thrones wasn't particularly noteworthy viewing.
You OK mate? Seem to be under a bit of a cloud.
Future mid I reckon.Just love the way this kid is developing, superb overhead for his size, strong body, decent pace, moves well, reads the play well, kicks well. Future champion in the making
I feel like if we bring Dib on and try to develop him as a half-back IQ could move up the field.Future mid I reckon.
True. IQ has a lot to learn before he gets his chance there.I feel like if we bring Dib on and try to develop him as a half-back IQ could move up the field.
However, there are quite a few guys vying for midfield time
That is because Noble cannot lock down on anyone. He is a waste of a spot. Promote one of the youngsters and give him Johnny's role.Been a frustrating year for me with IQ.

His intercept marking anyways catches me by surprise, it's legitimately great. Add that to elite speed, impressive strength, a thumping, flat kick and clean hands.
He's got more tools than anyone else in our backline, and that's saying something.
