Looking at our back-line make up, I wonder if there is a genuine small-lock-down defender we can pick up to bring Maynard into the midfield? Looking at our back-line we have a good group of rebound defenders and users out of the back half, Crisp, Noble with his dash (hopefully something we see more of), IQ and then Moore and Howe who are both very good users and distributors themselves.
I think a genuine small-medium defender who compliments Roughy as the two lock-down players, among guys who are capable of attacking off half back wouldn't make us too slow (or slower than we already are), and adding Maynard into the middle would help our clearances and contested numbers, as well as his kicking might be better utilized. His kicking has improved greatly so he can hit up lead up targets pretty well, and his long range kicking could be used to move the ball i50 quicker or to get over zone defenses, and give Elliot, Cox and JDG more one on one contests.
