Ivan Maric

Noticed they've been giving Ty longer spells in the ruck trying to keep the Eevans workload down a bit.
 
I guess it has been said many times, but Maric is a clever, soulful and graceful player. I hope the club does all necessary to keep him around for many years.
 
There is a lot of admiration and respect for Maric, but if the big fella isn't able to get his body right and produce better footy in 2014 then I am afraid that he won't be a future contributor much beyond that.
 
McBean mentioned in his TT interview that Maric was the first one to take him under his wing so to speak. Great leader is the big fella.

thats why we need to get a backup at years end
to give him a rest more often than he needs.
 
Not moving as freely but is doing the job. Provides more around the stoppages than the big o or derrickx (god forbid)

We don't have a better alternative for this year. Hopefully we can pick up another experienced ruckman during trading and use magic as a backup.
 
He was so good for us last year. We ran him into the ground and he doesn't like like he's going to recover in a hurry.
