Rivers has a better kick than Maxwell, and that's saying something.

What with people flogging Garland for his lack of pace? He'd be one of the quickest in the side.

Agree on both points. Rivers kicking in the second half of this year was impressive. I think the amount of footy he missed was only just been caught up. If we are to be successful then Rivers will be in the Maxwell role, he needs to improve in it - give more rebound, kill more contests etc, but the Maxwell role is his role.

Garland is a smart footballer. Spent his time off assisting the recruiting guys by looking at potential recruits and evaluating their form. Shows me he has more strings to his bow than the average footballer. Someone who studies the game and its players is invaluable in a defensive role.

And he hasn't played fwd yet. I have heard DB on a number of occasions say that he would.
