19. Addam Maric [177cm 76 kg 18.04.90 - 5 games 2 goals] – the schoolboy small forward, picked at # 21 in last year's NAB AFL Draft, was eased into AFL football and made his debut late in the season after showing lots of promise and improvement over the year at Sandringham.

Maric was not overawed when promoted to the big time and he showed out with some classy play, impressing with his attack on the ball and his top flight disposal of the football both in attack and also when given a few stints in the midfield.

A player of the future.

    I can recall, like we all do hearing the raps given this guy when we recruited him last year. I was looking forward to seeing him in the flesh, watch him play a little footy so I could get a feel for whether its all hype ??..or he might be something !!

    Have seen him at TBO and in Red and Blue and he does have SOMETHING !! You can sense hes just finding his measure at the moment and probably not in parts of the paddcok he prefers..Another preseason.. no more school books to worry over.. and I think 2009 will be something in deed for this guy.

    He's a NAB risng star nominee for certain... and might give it a bit of a tilt as well

    One to watch...and enjoy !! :))

    Early days but he was impressive on debut, doesn't panic and has plenty of time to develop further. I like what I see but I'm not getting carried away.

    A very likely type. Looking forward to what preseaon brings to Morton, Grimes, Maric.

    He has something BB that is for sure, I haven't seen a player like this before for the Dees. You are quite right he is finding his measure. I can't wait to see his development over the next few years and can't wait to see what this kid has in store for Melbournefc.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
