2010 Player Review - # 19 Addam Maric

Featured Replies

 

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!

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.

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.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
