Mav

[lintonstreet]

I know the kid doesn't get rated often in the best players but bloody hell he's relentless in his attack on ball and opposition.
Have been following the pressure act stats this year and he's just about #1 in aggregate.
Must be great to play alongside.
Does anyone else see a little Aaron Hamill in him?

[BigMart]

He's a typical Burnie boy... Tough!

Mav is a B Grade AFL footballer with A Grade effort and attack on the footy

[WellardSaint]

I have always liked the boy's aggression, he's a bit like Hamill,
and obviously the forward coach likes him because last year he played a bit everywhere
and now he has a full-time defensive forward role.
Is in the leadership group, and wasn't he the nominated captain for the Mackay (washed-out) NAB Cup game?

He's got grunt... he really turns it on

Loved his soccer style celebration after his 55m running goal !

[WellardSaint]

Remember in the Freo game- he did 2 brilliant things that I noticed-
he put the ball into the square, Bwoose tapped it, Rooey did the karate kick.

And he took on 2 defenders, under pressure, got a precise handpass out to JackS, who centred it to Membrey (this was last qtr)

He seems to be cool and composed under pressure with his handballs and has enough tiger-in-the-belly to ignore the tackle,
to ensure his handpass is on point.
Others aren't as composed.

Luv the Mav

Funny you mention his handball as after I wrote the post that's exactly what I realised I missed. He is the slickest and most reliable handball in the team under pressure.

[ROLS-LEE]

Doesn't miss often in front of goal either. Definately like his game.

[ctqs]

Spot on. I've said for a while he reminds me of a smaller version of Hamill. Love the way he goes about it.

[Toy Saint]

Is Mav playing the small forward role at the expense of Billings. Lonie or Sinclair?

He's a big small forward...

[freely]

He's always had great quality that he's prepared to take responsibility. We've got a few younger guys coming through now with the same preparedness - Newnes, Jack Steven obviously! Now gradually hoping to see Dunstan, Webster, Billings move into that space.

[Junction Oval]

I like his toughness. In a young team, with a lot of players yet to build strong bodies, he adds a lot of grunt. Love his attack on the ball.

[Impatient Sainter]

Love him, he is so important to our team, we need a couple more with uis mindset!

[magnifisaint]

Would like him to get more possessions. Is damaging when he gets it.

[older saint]

Seems to play as the defensive half forward, which we need. Should have kicked 4 yesterday, 25 out missed set shot and 2 snaps that should have been goals also. might develop into that Puopolo type role for us

[felix]

Will die trying.

See Mav's little bro Lauchie picked the Rising Star nomination this week.

He is a tough as nails and aggressive with it.

Just what we have needed for years.

Only 2 cm and 3k's in it actually.

[WellardSaint]

I think his average disposals this year is 15.8?
Doesn't get more because-
He actually does a bit off the ball to give others a "chop-out" is that the right word?
He takes heat so Capt Jack and others can get a better run at the ball

[BigMart]

He doesn't play as tall as Sammy... He presented at the footy like a key forward.

Mav is a mid playing as a forward... Because he's very good at giving a contest and putting on pressure

100% correct!
He rates every week in top 3 or 4 for score involvements

I didn't know that last stat
I've noticed #44 several times, blocking, shepherding, etc - the number seems to stand out
