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

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
