Really hope he can get 15+ games this year.

"One of the attributes Maric is hoping to bring to the top level this year is his kicking efficiency, which was considered elite at junior level."

We could use some of that.

i was told also this by a player that used to play in the TAC cup around the same time as him. Also blew the Champion Data stats out the window compared to everyone else in the TAC at the time.

why did he slip to pick 21 then if his disposal is so immaculate? obviously has plenty of deficiencies. I hope he comes good, i thought he showed good endevour last week, suppose thats something.

Because, in the end he is a small forward pocket who might be capable of stints in the midfield.

He isn't built like a Judd, a Morton or a Naitanui.

He might have slipped to 21, but he didn't slip to 58.

His pass to hit Miller lace out after receiving the tap on from Trengove on the boundary is worthwhile remembering. Miller slotted it through. Which was just as pleasing.

Yeh that was the sole highlight of the game. Funny how we all get excited when our players do things that are mandatory to other AFL teams. ;)

dude i live for this club, it dictates my moods and emotions in life but in all honesty after 20 years of let downs and disappointments its hard for me to be overly positive. Remember the saying, a pessemist is an optimist with insight.

I did say Maric's kick was a positive from sunday anyway. Im not the one who said he was rubbish. The fact is we dont do the things other teams take for granted out there at the moment.

Torres says go Dees!

yes that was good... every other effort was dismal though

The handball Maric placed over the top and in front (to Davey's advantage) of the running Davey who went on to kick a 9 pointer, wasn't bad either. You would have to admit.

Im pretty sure Maric still has the best set shot kicking accuracy in TAC cup history.

You wouldn't know it from his set shots in AFL though.

Yes, I saw that. Great decision to put it well ahead of him, end-over-end, so that Davey could run onto it.

These flashes of brilliance are what give me hope for him.

Yeah, I expected him to come in kicking like Mark LeCras... instead he has been kicking like Brad Miller on a bad day.

oh be careful, negative comments are taboo on this site....

Wash your mouth out with soap, don't even mention negativity around here bucko B)

A bit of negativity every now and then is refreshing.

Dees will be in the bottom 4 an spurs will take liverpool's spot in the big 4.

The majority of his kicking for goal has been deplorable which was meant to be his strong suit. I recall he had a set shot from 45-50 last Sunday and kicked it out on the full.

I still hold hope he'll end up being a class act for us, but not as confident as I was 18 months ago.

He along with Joel MacDonald were by far the best on ground last Sunday night. He was a real positive for me. When we expected the likes of Jurrah, Davey, Sylvia and Rivers to be the standouts - this little bloke was a shining light. First positive to come out of the year I reckon?!

I found that frustrating too, but it was just a mis-kick. It wasn't indicative of his general kicking ability. I think there's a big difference.

I thought that Maric's disposal in general play was excellent on a couple of occasions, and I'd be hesitant to make judgements about his kicking for goal until his nerves settle down. He's played 11 games and has come in with a reputation and hence expectations of others that he'll have flawless kicking. Talk about pressure!

I'm on the Maric band wagon this year!

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
