Just announced that Addam Maric has been offered an opportunity to train with Tigers.

Interesting to note that seven clubs have applied to the AFL for permission for players to train.

MFC are not one of the seven.

AFL clubs give delisted players opportunity to train before draft.

by memory wasn't that his preferred destination in the first place?

I think you are spot on however it was thought he would go to North at draft time. Tigers may end up at having two Marics come start of season time.

Reckon its probably good to start just with the players already listed - get those boys going, then bring in the "permission to train" players a few weeks later when the players already on our list are flying. It'd better show the unlisted players exactly what they need to do to possibly earn a spot.

With Maric its probably different because he has been around before and knows what preseason is all about.

When are the lists officially lodged/released? Every monday/tuesday?

Maric did mention in a puff-piece article on the weekend this year was the first year he did a full pre-season, so I guess this would make it only his second full go at it.

Hard to believe he is still only 21! Good luck to everyones favorite emo if he gets a go somewhere else, I can just see the blurb now "The best pure kicker in the draft", "A solution to our teams crumbing needs" etc etc.

They off load Nason & then look interested in Maric? Interesting.....

No Travis Tuck at MFC on that list which rumours suggested he would be.

Forgot to also mention that Beau Dowler ex Hawk is training with the Saints.

You raise a valid point. Nason in his initial year showed pace and accuracy.I also thought they had enough small forwards. Training doesn't guarantee a listing though!

Danny Hughes training with the Saints? He gets a lot of shots at it!

Danny Hughes at Saints. Assume it's the same one we had.

Tiges are welcome.

What? Our former Full Back? LOL

Brad Miller gets another year at the Tigers.

Is this hindering the development of one of their young KP players?

I personally don't see the purpose in giving him another year.

Who is Brad Miller holding back at Richmond?

and who cares about richmond?

Nah the rookie small/medium forward we delisted last year. Debuted in the WB 'pink' friday night game.

Maric has the scope for midfield or half forward flank, i wouldnt call him a small forward at all

and who cares about richmond?

I should have added that piece....rats

Played for us, linked to North, training with Richmond. He's certainly not one for hanging around positive, winning atmospheres. No wonder he's so glum all the time.

Addam was a die hard Tiger fan before he was drafted.

Is there a link to the actual list of players given permission to train and which explains why only a certain number of clubs have these players training with them?
