Another player down the bottom of the pecking order of small forwards. His only game was the big win over the Sydney Swans in round 17 when he was solid without starring. Is contracted for 2011 - Luke Holmesby melbournefc

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

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
