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.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
