Yep, Smokin', Maric occupies a place on the senior list.

What a crock, that also means he's chewing up cap space. Could have front loaded someone's contract to make a significant play for Fyfe.
 
Just makes the decision to recontract him more bizarre. Should've waited til after trade and draft but even then he didn't warrant another season.

Can't argue with that.
 
Maric will be more of an assistant coach than player next year. This was always the plan.

The reason he is on the list is to reduce our soft cap payments which become very important if we have to pay Hardwick out.

Smart move

Breaking news: Ivy has chopped his mullet off.
Personally feel he should have been cut at the end of last season.

A half crippled Maric is better than Hampson.

An expert's judgement after the Melbourne game when his opponent was Gawn. Hampson injured.

Our midfield got smashed with Hampson as number one ruck.

Maric in 2015 got 177 contested possessions, and 75 clearances. Ivan played 2 more games.
Hampson in 2016 got 99 contested possessions and 36 clearances.
Hampson got 32 hit outs a game to Ivan's 25.

Ivans stats are what made us a lot better side.
 
He was finished after the north final, but some how still finds himself on the list.
The retirement club at its best
 
Last season was disastrous for Ivan.
One if the biggest falls from grace that I can remember in recent times.
He went from being one of our most indispensable players to having Shaun Hampson getting a game in front of him FFS. Just a real shame that injuries and a quicker game caught him out.
I cant see it improving when moving like a glacier.
Bizarre decision to keep him around.
If it's for 'leadership ' it should have been a Coburg gig rather than one on the senior list.
That said I wish him lots of luck.
 
Maric may simply fill a hole next season and play as a tall in the forward line. Whilst we all acknowledge his lack of pace and mobility as he has gotten older, his set shot kicking for goal is as good as there is (without any stats to back up my claim). I think he could be quite useful as a makeshift rucking forward.

Ivan goes at 66% accuracy (60.30). But if we are relying on Ivan to play forward we are in trouble.
