2010 Player Review - # 19 Addam Maric

Still young, slow developer, has looked good at times, needs to make it happen soon.

Going into the final year of his contract.

Was in the team that demolished Sydney and didn't look out of place whilst not being spectacular.

Not assertive enough yet. Hopefully that will come with maturity.

    I have a soft spot for the guy as I do not think has been given a reasonable go.

    However my Gut tells me is not good enough and is lucky to have a contract in 2011!

    Needs a big 2011 or it is over

    without game time he will not be able to keep his spot, big pre season, and a few good matches for casey early and he may be able to thrust his name into the 22, without early games, (as much as it pains me to say)it will likely be that next season would be his last in the red and blue

    summed up perfectly for me as well. Cmon Addam

    When he came to the club he was noted for his kicking ability, which I haven't really seen.

    Hope it's just a confidence thing which he grows out of, rather than the alternative meaning he just ain't good enough.

    If we can secure a trade for him then i will be happy.

    If he stays on the list it will be for only one more year short of something Barlowish.

    Too many blokes ahead of him.

    He certainly has the skill and assets at his disposal to make it at AFL level. Its more of an attitude problem. He thinks he has already made it. Got a feeling the FD are onto this and thats why he was playing 2's all year. In the VFL reviews the coach constantly went on about the defensive pressure Maric needed to start appyling. In his junior days he was a major down hill skier

    That makes sense.

    I've still got high hopes for him. Don't write him off just yet.

    D'day for this young player.Needs to really produce to hold his spot on the list- and as many earlier have said- maybe even a trade could be on the cards this year.

    not writing him off at all because I think if he gets his head in the right space he could become a very good player!

  • Quote

    I thought Maric has asked to be traded, no big loss for mine

    We'll see. He showed plenty of glimpses in '08 and '09. His running goal against West Coast last year was something.

    One more year, at least.

    Addam has only shown snippets so far in his career, and unfortunately his career seems to have plateaued. 2011 is his make or break year at Melbourne.

  • Quote

    His 08 and 09 were fine. Some how after his best preseason his VFL form was rubbish and he couldn't get in the team. Obviously the team was stronger and it was harder to get a game, but his VFL form just didn't show any progression.

    I feel we will no very early next year whether he has any chance or not, because for a player of his height and skill set if you can't play consistent good VFL footy in your 4th year what hope do you have.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
