Welcome aboard big fella. Had a tough few years with injuries and personal tragedies. Deserves a fulfilling end to his career. Big unit who knows how to tap to advantage and get a few possessions. Great dirt cheap back up ruck

Would've preferred an up & comer at least at mid 20s. Isn't he 31?

I think he's a great pickup for 2 reasons.

1 - AFL quality insurance
2 - Coaching. I reckon Naismith will do a bit of coaching along with Maric. 2 very different ruckman, Naismith very much a tap ruckman, Maric used his strength a lot more. They are the perfect foil for each other to teach our young rucks in Ryan, Colina and Hayes-Brown the ropes.

Perfect cover for one year and lines up with the acquisition of Darcy via Free Agency

Has this actually been confirmed or are we assuming based on an article? Nothing on the website

He’s had 3 knee reconstructions …ouch
Played VFL for PtMelb in 2023 lots of hit outs but goes some games without taking a single mark

House of footy, Jules?
Hope they are not affiliated with House of Hutch (Jabba)!
Otherwise your creds are shot. (joking!)

Interesting selection.
He's missed a heap of footy.
Maybe ok if he can stay fit.

Obvious call with Ivan's cousin Ivan exiting.
Also keeps the heat on Delilah.

What Trent Knoble part 2??
What's with talls that can't take a mark?
If he can't mark or dosent work hard enough to give an option.
Why are we interested??

I like it as this is exactly what I believe you should be doing with your second ruck.
