Are these not forums for opinions???

I gave my opinion and that was that. You're obviously one of the not so smart c/wood supporters as you don't seem to get that.

My apologies to the smarter c/wood supporters out there.

You are sick to death arguing about maxwell, yet you remain in the thread and im one of the not so smart ones.

Yeah perfect sense there mate

It actually does. I came, i read, i posted. I then looked to see what people thought of my opinions and you asked a question. I answered it.
If you want, i 'll just ignore you! Save me wasting my breath...errr...fingers even by answering you. You can't argue my point re your fearless no. 5 so you question why i'm on here...Great point!

Free kick stats for some tools who think Maxwell gives away too many free kicks:

So far this year our main five defenders free kick tally against:

H Shaw 18
O Brien 13
Brown 12
Maxwell 10
Wakelin 9

I'm not the biggest Maxwell fan and I have my doubts about his long term future, but he keeps doing his job.

Maxwell alternated through out the night, like every other week.

At times it was heath of O'keefe and brown on Hall, and Maxwell played on all three i mentioned.

And i will say again apart from a Mitch hahn maxwell hasnt been belted by an opponent one out since the early rounds, and is his defence then he got cleaned up by goldsack once, hahn outmarked goldsack in contest and in another akers kick was perfect on the head of hahn and no defender could stop it

Funny that, i remeber you mentioning to me that he played on ROK all night and beat him all ends up. whatever suits your agenda .
I p!ss myself at all the supporters who put his name in the ring for the Captaincy.

Drop Ben Johnson back to shut down small forwards (he toweled up Aker, and imo he isn't a good midfielder).

Goldsack - Wakelin - O'Brien
H Shaw - Brown - Clarke

I see nothing wrong with this set up.

All of those players >>>>>>>>>> Maxwell.

If need be, play Ben Johnson as a small defender. He towelled up Aker and I don't like him as a midfielder much anyway.

Lovely work smiddaz, there it is in black and white.
Great line up in the backline without worrying who is accountable for their direct opponent and have a handicap .
Give it up hack lovers.

Brown on Hall? There may have been one or two contests where Wakelin was caught out of position and Brown contested against Hall, but Wakelin played on Hall all night as far as I could see. There will always be momentary switches like this during the night, but as I recall it Playfair was opposed to Brown, ROK to Maxwell, and Wakelin to Hall. Any switches were nothing more than players getting lost in play for a moment or two.



I haven't dated and timecoded every time Maxwell has been beaten by his opponent -- despite appearances to the contrary, I really don't have a vendetta against him -- so I'm not gonna argue with you. But I will add that Maxwell shouldn't be regularly belted because -- Adelaide match notwithstanding -- he gets the fourth- or fifth-best defender every week. There's a reason that Maxwell plays on Mitch Hahn and not Robert Murphy, Kane Pettifer and not Nathan Brown, Sean McManus and not Jeff Farmer. I'll let you draw your own conclusions. I'll also add that not being 'belted' is only a lukewarm recommendation given the calibre of opponent he gets.


Anyway, I give up. If after 80-odd games and six or so seasons, people still can't see that Maxwell isn't up to it, so be it.

Maxwell is apparently the only defender in any side who does not play against the No. 1 Forward every week.

And as you point out after 80 odd games and six or so season people still cannot work out that they are in the minority when the maintain he is not up to AFL standard.

Not apparently, it is inherently
