Ivan Maric

Anyone see Ch9 news tonight?
Ivan was interviewed and said he has plenty of footy left in him, the body's as good as ever and wants to play on.

It's sad when they have to be tapped on the shoulder. Needs to look at Chaplin's example. I'm a fan, I love Maric, thought he was better last year than many here did, but this year he has looked well and truly done. The desire is still there, but the body simply doesn't have the ability left in it any more.

I'll have to dredge up the quote where someone from RFC said Hampy and Ivan were good enough to cover our ruck stocks for 2016. Was it Blair or Dimma or Frank? Negligent.

It was Dan Richardson. He is clueless. Yet he runs our Football Department ::)

He should be sanctioned for this situation alone!

I think this is yet another misquote - the one I remember was Dimma not saying that our ruck stocks are A-OK, but saying that unless you can get a significantly better ruckman than the ones you already have don't bother.

The point being that three mediocre rucks are not really any better than two. You generally play only one of them each time in any case
 
He should have retired half way through last year! An absolute joke if he plays on. If his "body is right" then he is simply taking us for a ride.
 
Will anyone at the club be big enough to tap Ivan on the shoulder and tell him his Time as a Richmond player is over.

No it's not. Dan Richardson specifically said in late 2015 that with Maric and Hampson our ruck stocks going into 2016 were more than adequate. That's not verbatim but words to that effect.

Yep, Ant is confusing DR,s comments from trade period last year with DH comments on SEN coaches box during the year where he said words to the effect that's there's no point getting a ruckman who's no better/taller than the ones you've got.
 
more cringeworthy stuff with footy players wearing Juve tops and no name Juve players wearing Richmond tops. when will this embarrassment end?

It will be thought of as a positive media opportunity, but a shame they didn't get some players of note really.

Don't see how you can be too fussed about it really Ian... Is it the fact they are showing it or that the players weren't worth worrying about? :hihi

Fair enough Rids, I'd heard Dimma say the other thing though.
