Official--In Rocca, out Cox

[Smoky]

He played in a side that won by how much?
He is Jason cloke mark 2.

And played quite well... but you still want to drop him?

So have you watched the game from last week yet???

 

[Tycoon]

Good to see Rocca back in, lets hope that he has the same influence that he had against Geelong. As for Maxwell he has done enough IMO to keep his spot, I like the way he goes about things defensively (lots of C bones in him) but is just a footballer. Will strugle to keep his spot in the side in 1-2 years.

You can hide Maxwell against sides with only 1 or 2 quality forwards like West-Coke,Carlton and Melbourne then there are the teams we are vying with in the premiership race with multiple quality forward options.
Geelong,Whorethorn,Western Bulldogs,Sydney and there is no place to hide for Maxwell as he is out of his depth.

Disagree. He was actually one of the very very few poor players against Geelong imo.

He had a good game! i think your mixing Maxwell up with Didak.
By the way,i don,t hate Maxwell,i don,t rate him as an AFL standard footballer.

One of the very, very poor players against Geelong hey! Stop it... you're cracking us up here.

You must hate him - if you think he's not up to AFL standard. your obviously not watching the same games we are.

I didn't say one of the very very poor players.

I said on of the very very FEW poor players.

He reads the thread the same as he watches Maxwell play.
with one eye.

people are blind he was an option to become captain and took the big 5 on his back. plays with his heart on his sleave and gives 110% EVERY WEEK.

If I played AFL I'd give 110% every week, no question.

Would I be able to play for Collingwood.

Maxwell will be surpassed by Anthony or Goldsack imo.

If he was an option for the Captaincy and by a lot on here should have been made Captain, we would have had egg`s on our faces, thanks to the powers that be he wasn,t given the honour as he is quite frankly not up to it,once Presti comes back there is no room for Maxwell.

Big Bucks, your animosity towards Maxwell (and your lack of self-awareness) is painful to observe. No one here is claiming Maxwell is without his faults, but your contribution is over the top and then some. Maxwell, if dropped by Collingwood, would be eagerly snapped up by many other clubs and played weekly.

On a friendlier note, did anyone watch Maxwell's body language when Burns was announced Captain. There's a photo of the announcement in which most of the leading contenders are all happy-happy smiling (genuinely), but Maxwell looks quite tortured. He clearly wishes Scotty Burns well, but is deeply aggrieved at missing out on the captaincy himself. Now, I'm not saying he's ready for the captaincy, and maybe - for quite good reasons - he'll never be captain, but that kind of hunger and angry desire are wonderfully positive things for a player to have. Give him another year and I think we'll see and very, very ruthless and opportunistic, calculating and perhaps even quite angry player out to avenge his narcissistic wounds. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

 

[Beloved]

No, it doesn't make sense numbnuts. He earned it plenty last year to lead the comp in contested marks.
Fail and F off.

Hmm, oh dear.

Nice to see Pebbles melt the Dees....
