Brayden Maynard - Bruz
Moderator: bbmods
The key to Maynard's success as a footballer will be whether the poor decision making I have seen from him is a weakness or simply rookie nerves.
If the former, he will not be the answer to our needs if we are serious about a flag unless he eradicates it as it has thwarted numerous scoring chances for us and we don't need our backline killing scoring chances (that is the role of our forwards).
If its the latter then he needs more game time to get comfortable at this level.
I agree that he is a great kick of the footy.

So let me get this right. You're fanatical enough to get on forums about the Pies, yet you don't know much about a Pies player? do you actually watch the footy and then make comments on here?thompsoc wrote:It is funny I haven't watched him much on the footy field.
He really has slipped way under my radar.
They tell me he is a good kick.
But I can't give any opinion whether it is great news or not.
Just curious.
There is Collingwood and then the rest.

I was unsure the first game he played against the hawks, but by the next game I could see why he has many excited. SOme of his passes in the Port game were sensational. Superb vision and execution.
He was quiet against the weagles though and will be lucky to keep his spot this week - I would make him the sub against the Dogs.
Still only a teenager learning his craft - but happy to read he has committed to the Pies and signed on.

And yes I don't watch the footy silly,
I dilly dally in the garden all day long!
And by the way have you got your new licence for printing rubbish on Nicks?
we don't eat our own at collingwood we just allow them to foul our nest.

I know that this is stressing you out a bit RB but it is what it is and will be what it will be!! It is beyond our control.RudeBoy wrote:^

Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!
Just relax about it, RB. Que sera, sera. Really, there's no point us worrying about it. Given the way he's been playing in the reserves, so far, I doubt that there's a lengthy queue of potential suitors with cheque-books at the ready.
Edit - sorry, didn't realize that Lazza had said a number of the same things as me.

Really like this kid. He is way more than just a good kick. Tough, very good body strength, well balanced and comes with a good tank from his TAC days. Highly regarded on the track and just seems very single minded about improving his footy.
Right now he is just a boy playing a mans game and he hasn't been lost or overawed by the occasion.
It's easy to remember his couple clangers but it takes a few games to get used to the tempo no matter who you are. He does a lot of things well for a kid who has only played three games of senior footy. In a couple years time, he is going to be very hard to beat in a one on one contest, either in the air or at ground level.
