Summary:

Terrible player. Crap. Can't play.

... except he is Captain of an AFL side.

... except he is an All-Australian defender.

... except he Captained his side to a Premiership.

I am tired of all the constant crap that Nick Maxwell gets from armchair fans. Every football expert knows that Maxwell is a star player, and crucially important to Collingwood. Premiership Captain Nick Maxwell had a good year in 2010, very consistent, and missed 4 matches through injury.

However, fantasy wise, Nick Maxwell had a disappointing 2010. After averaging 92.3 in 2009, Maxwell's average dipped to 71.7 (his lowest since 2007) and lost a lot of value.

The Crystal Ball:

Based on last year's magic number
Price: $380,900

Based on m0nty's fanplanner
Price: $362,700

Position: DEF

Everytime you hear Maxwell, you can tell he is hungry and professional. He will lead the Magpies well yet again, and always put his body on the line. The position he plays for Collingwood does not allow for high fantasy scores all the time however, and may continue to average similar to that of 2010.

Decision:

He could be undervalued a little bit. I'll give him a touch and go, but I think I'd prefer Heath Shaw as a pie in the back-line if any.

star player? I think that's a bit much but he is great ;) Won't pick though.

Terrible player. Crap. Can't play.

Yep.  Very surprised he averaged 92 in 09.  No way for me.

Do I detect  a wee bit of emotion there, Os?  Maxwell, is indeed a great player, at times I wish he was captain of Essendon.

I actually like Watson as a Captain. And yes, I do get a bit emotional lol, thought it would change after an All-Aus and Premiership Captain. But no....

[bomberboy0618]

NO
i dont want him, better options out there.

[Knowall]

would not even consider he doesnt score highly and doesnt look like the sort of player that could greatly improve his scores

[Fletch74]

Unlikely, as his role doesn't allow him to score those big scores needed. Ok price though.

Terrible player. Crap. Can't play.

totally agree :P
No from me

[j959]

he's Pies cap'n for a reason - natural leader and the boys listen to him (as far as I can see when they're on the field).

harsh to say "cr*p player" though i'd agree his fantasy value is questionable ... no from me but he's a champion player ...

[RiOtChEsS]

wow cant believe ppl say that ??? i dont know any team that wouldnt want him in their back 6... all ur write ups r great too Oss rich in nutrients :P

[ossie85]

So is All Bran and like Maxwell they both give me the .....

Champion leader however, his speech after the first GF was straight from the gut and that is how he plays.
Awkwardly priced for value of return, I'm staying away.

[dylsta05]

not for me.

[Alex7089]

Well. He is at an awkward price and for the life of me can't see him improving.

Certainly not!
