Addam Maric delisted

The spuds at our club that think that they can coast while they are here and then just jump to another club when they get hurt feelings by being told they aren't up to it, really want to have a good hard look at where the players of the past five years have ended up.

Totally agree. Lots of hurt feelings atm, but the fact is that Neeld isn't asking them to do anything 17 other clubs aren't doing too.

I'll put up my hand and say I thought we should have given Maric another year.

Delisted after one year at Richmond suggests he's not up to it. I was wrong.

His a talented kid, just has the wrong attitude about it all.

You mean a pick 21 that we couldn't "develop" was also a dud at Richmond ? A club that has developed Cotchin, Martin, Riewoldt, etc ?

Or maybe he was just another [censored] pick. Nah, too simple. Must be the development.

Maybe our recruiters have been looking at the wrong areas over the last 6 years or so? Maric broke the record for kicking efficiency in the u18s. Cook was AA CHF. PErhaps these factors were given more weight than they deserved?

I wonder if BP even bothered to properly interview him.

Apart from once kicking 6 in the VFL, he literally showed nothing whatsoever.

Is it possible that we can just keep the BP bashings to just one thread? Perhaps we can get Ranegy to start a new one up for us.

At the end of the day, we've picked what we picked. For all of BP's so-called F-ups, he's also provided us with some good footballers, such as Howe, Tom McDonald and Blease. I'm not sticking up for him, I'm just getting bored of reading a thread about an individual player/s and always seeing criticism about BP.

Let's move on, and for those that don't want to, give them somewhere to whinge, not taking over every thread.

Did have 31 touches one day. Not the best 31 touches you'll ever see but did have his brief moments.

As much as we'd all like to see BP fired out of a cannon for Grand Final pre-game entertainment, Maric was taken in Cameron's final draft.

That would be great.

CaC & BP fired out of a cannon from the MCC Reserve at half time of a GF.

Well thought out!!

Only had 7 games with them. ,Hardly played often. Failed to ever show a thing with us

10 games http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/players/A/Addam_Maric.html (yes, I know most as sub). Still, into a half decent side for almost half the year so they can't have been that down on him.

All downhill from this point http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/addam-marics-just-apples/story-fn9eu7in-1226381961285

Pardon me, I don't usually miss things like. My apologies to BP.

And Billy, I didn't intend to turn this thread into a BP-bashing thread, I was merely wondering. Turns out I was wrong anyway.

No pardon required. And good luck to the ill-postured Maric in his new role as gargoyle above the entrance to AAMI Park.

...and Gysberts scored high in kicking efficiency at draft camp but it is a weakness in matches. Maybe not enough weight on playing footy.

Yet another wasted high pick. That's Scully, Cook, Gysberts, Maric to go with Morton, Bate and Dunn

I'd hate to see a list of players who were picked after this bunch of spuds

No. No you wouldn't

Edit: Oops misread hate as like

In that case, yes, yes you would

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well …

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
