Shahanga Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 He was running hard towards the end. Swab him. That one he missed was a bit harder than it looked I reckon. Anyway good result for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From experience moves like that look simple, but are easy to stuff up. Yeah a pro should bury it, no question (and Tuna would have put it away 50 times out of 50) , but it wasn't a tap in.

japiedog Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 showed why he was let go, played a standard cross, that arsed it way for a goal, missed a sitter, had a shot from a nigh on impossible angle , when he should have cut it back to try and find someone other that those points, he was pretty much invisible. the kid is an ok player, but not the young god that people made him out to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At what age should a player be told that they are average? That their improvement would be minimal over the course of their career? And no this isn't a smart arse question because I really don't know much about player development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) You're not the only one who doesn't know much about player development! The professionals get it wrong all the time and as for people on forums, well they'd be the last mob a player should listen to. The reason it's so hard is players develop at different paces and whilst some overcome weaknesses which may appear insurmountable others can't overcome seemingly minor problems. Lets take Jamie Vardy, as a young fella no one wanted him and this he was playing non-league football. Now he's in the England team. Closer to home Big Og was in his mid 20s working on building sites then he went on to be Asian player of the year. In the case of Mauk, I think @japiedog knows more about football than most on here, but I'm not convinced he's right about Mauk. Time will tell, but if I wAs his coach I wouldn't be telling him to quit, but I would be saying he needs to be fitter. Post match he said that "shot" was a shit cross due to fatigue and that may also be why he made a meal of that red hot chance later. I would say if he stays in the A League next year will be defining for him.

neio Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 He doesn't do anything amazingly well, think of the young players who have moved to Europe recently they all do something better than most others Gersbach swings crosses in and gets up and down pitch very very well Even someone like mabil, he wasn't finished product but he had extreme pace Until Stefan can work on something that makes him different to every other 19 ye old around the world I think he will battle to make a great impact over there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murfy1 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) I'd say it's pretty obvious, but I'd be weary of reading too much into one game. Especially when it's a debut game at a new club for a 20 year old (Mauk is still pretty young; he joined us when he was 16). I'm keen to see how he goes over the rest of the season for Adelaide though, as he was just starting to settle into senior football with us, netting 4 goals in 12 games (9 starts).

What I found odd was when they asked what his best footballing experience was, he didn't even say his goal in the derby... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 I can't see why he thinks he might make it in Europe. I'd say that he doesn't offer anything more than the 20-year-olds dotted around the minor leagues there. Probably end up coming off the bench for a Conference North side in front of 221 people.

HeartMillsy29 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Issues with the video: - The Brad Haddin cross Michael Clarke lookalike is not funny whatsoever - The intro music is as default as you can get - Adelaide - Kappa - Their crowd average is a mere 500 more people than ours so fuck off Stefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possiblygeorge Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 "Mauk" has four letters. So does "fork". Mauk rhymes with Fork. The word 'Triangle' has EIGHT letters. The word 'Eight' has FIVE letters. A triangle has three corners. The word TRIANGLE (8 letters) minus the word EIGHT (5 letters) equals THREE letters. Adelaide had three shots on goal last night. Do you see the resemblance? Adelaide had three shots on goal, a triangle has three corners. If Mauk rhymes with fork, this can only mean Mauk = illuminati. I'm sorry i have wasted your time. Carry on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Le Cube Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 I rate him. He scores goals, creates chances, wins his own ball, plays multiple positions and can cross. He lacks an engine and consistency but he is only 20. Its refreshing to have a young Australian player that doesn't rely on physical gifts to be useful.

HeartOfCity Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) Just watching Mauk go about his stuff. He looks a more utilised player with adelaide and more confident with how he plays. I'm far from any guru to suggest why it is but I'm stoked for him. Mind you after I wrote this he's been non existent for the last 20mins. Edited February 19, 2016 by HeartOfCity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Le Cube Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I thought he played well last night. He was unlucky not to be credited with an assist after it was judged to have been an own goal but it was a nice pass to Kamau all the same. He scored last week as well so he has found some form. Probably helps that he is getting a run in the midfield instead of out on the wing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewConvert Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 For me his major issues were lack of experience and he runs out of puff. The former is not really an issue as he gets more game time then he ill improve. The latter I am not sure about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
