Had heard whispers through this year we were chasing Maynard. Now either the message I heard was crossed and it was this Maynard, or we are keeping a close eye on his Collingwood brother also.

Might make sense this. Especially given it's likely Hibberd will re-sign with Essendon, the Collingwood Maynard might be a nice fit off half back. Doesn't have the kicking skills of Hibberd though, but another left footer to add to the cabinet. It's becoming a pretty full cabinet.

For the record, Pendlebury was another junior basketballer whose talents translated to AFL. I'm sure Corey'll be just as good.

First Joel Smith, now Corey Maynard. Fair to say we don't mind the basketballers.

*Joel Smith - Australian under 19 squad.

*Jack Watts - picked in Australian under 19's squad.

*Christian Petracca - Australian under 17 squad.

*Corey Maynard - Australian under 23 squad.

Probably more. I think Trengove and Tyson could play also.

I reckon Tracc's dog would have to be in the team as well. He's merciless at blocking lay-ups.

Wasn't Jake Spencer also a basketballer?  I vaguely remember a story about him choosing footy over basketball because he liked hurting people.  I've loved him ever since!

Haha, not sure. But would make sense given that height of his.

I sat in  an old stand at Ballarat and had a chat with Jake just after he came to the Club and he said he didn't mind knocking the little blokes over, had a soft spot for him ever since

I bet you it can't throw a mean frisbee like Howies dog!

This guy is smashing it at VFL level and plays the contested brand of footy that suits our team. Of his 30 possession on the weekend, a massive 20 of them were contested http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2017-07-26/vfl-player-review-round-14

Might be wise to expose another player to AFL footy and add some depth and experience to our midfield should finals come around, although they might want to add some polish to his game first.

With Smith and Maynard both recruited as Cat B rookies, its another reason to appreciate the efforts of our recruiting team.

Can he kick? His brother is a liability by foot.

This is the guy I am most excited about down at Casey. Could be a real smokey and seems to be tearing it up in the midfield....

Elevated to the senior list to replace the injured Pat McKenna. 

Maynard elevated to senior list

Okay, this usually suggests he's up for a game - maybe this weekend?

Fascinating!  No need to elevate him now unless we intend to play him, I would have thought.

Interesting...

Don't see it happening, but if Oliver and co. need a rest against the Lions and we are in a comfortable spot - yeah, he may get his jumper earlier than expected.

Considering McKenna was already on the LTI list, I imagine Maynard has been upgraded because he will playing this week.

Who for is the question.

A mid dumped after a great win?

I think that is a heavy assumption @Scythe...

Maynard started out off half-back with the Scorps, no? Think JT or else JKH may be on the block.

Wouldn't be surprised if Maynard comes in for JKH. Not that I think JKH played poorly, but with the forecast of wet conditions, Goody might want another big body around the contest, rather than a lightly framed, outside player. 

Been waiting for this the whole year, congrats Corey look forward seeing you play this year

Would've thought that means he's in this week

Might be right but let's wait for late changes to be announced to be sure. 

We have a couple of sore players and he could be a like for like replacement for one of our sore mids. Other emergencies are Wagner (defender) and Pedersen (versatile tall)
