From Greg J
Did you have the nickname "Maxwell House" at school?
Nick -
* What about "number 86" or "Maxwell Smart"?
Nick -
*
Was the choice of your first number, 43, deliberate (it being half of
86)?
Nick
- No to all the questions. Just nicknamed Maxy at school and 43 was just
a fluke.
Madness
Ask
him why he punches himself in the hip or arse...is it a habit or nervous
thingy?

Could you please sign the jumper of yours that the club sold me and please
verify it is your jumper seeing the club didnt give me a bloody certificate
of authenticity as they said they were going to?
Nick -send the jumpers into the Club at the start of
next season and we will arrange for the jumper to be put in our monthly
signing sessions.

Great start to the year but he tapered off the second half.
* Therefore ask...Are you happy with your season or not?
Then ask, what has playing next to Clement, Wakelin and Presti done for
your career?
Nick -Second half of the year I was forced to play forward
which I didn’t really have any experience in. I would rather play
in the back line. I enjoy playing with Jimmy and Wakes & Presti.
* I’m just wondering how he rates his season 2005,
where he feels he can improve, where he feels he has improved and if he
expected more from his year or he has exceed expectations.
Nick -I improved from 2004. I am focusing on a good pre
season. My goal is to get super fit and stronger so I can play on the
wing or tang tall onballers if need.

Who's been the biggest influence on your footy career and how you've gotten
to where you are now?
Nick -Parents never let me give up my dream of playing
AFL & gave me high work ethic. Work ethic and determination got me
where I am today.
David from Canberra
How did you feel when you were skipped in the draft but picked up in the
rookie draft... did you feel disappointed or heaps excited, even realising
that most rookies never make the grade.
Nick -Well I missed the 2001 draft, rockie, pre season
and the 2003 draft & pre season so I was just stoked to get an opportunity.
Hanskies
Ask him whether or not he thinks that having a season at North Ballarat
helped him in the long term. Does he miss anything about the cold of Ballarat
or the night life of B/rat?

to improve and develop. Yes I miss the night life for sure!
