How did we all rate Maurice's year?
-
8/10
Elite pressure and pace. Massive turnover impact.
Indictment on the club that he didn't play more games but guys like George and Aarts continued to get games.
100% must play the whole year in 2023 barring injury.
Only thing that would increase score would be jagging more goals himself.
-
Gave him an 8
Massive improvement
Best defensive forward we have now
His pressure is elite
And his closing speed? Wow, just wow
-
My new favourite player .
-
Gave him a 9. When actually given opportunities had an impact and exceeded expectations given his experience. The pressure act > points scored conversion stat sums up how good he was when we actually played him
-
Gave him a 6
BUT, it’s a 6 with a potential bullet
He just needs to find more of the footy (which will come)
Could be a very very good footballer
Still think those saying could be better than his dad are in fantasy land, but hope they are correct
-
Agree on 6 with a bullet.
Needs more consistency across games and to be more of an offensive threat not just defensive.
His improvement this year was great to watch.
No reason why he wont improve again next year.
Love watching him.

Very exciting player. Like I’ve said before it looks like sometimes his body is moving faster than his mind when he has ball in hand which leads to fumbles/slips/errant disposal. Needs to slow it down a bit and not do everything at 1000 miles per hour.
-
I'd agree with a 6 for this year as a defensive forward. He has shown plenty of talent & skill in that role but I can't wait for him to move into the midfield where he will be an absolute weapon!
Any midfielder who is just a tad slow will be dead meat ... :clapping
