Ivan Maric

[Jason King]

Had some good assistance from Orro though.

an amazing effort of 2 disposals and 13 hit outs :hihi

 

[spook]

Ivvy don't need to jump.

Time to eat some crow, humble pie etc guys/girls and there is a lot of you :cutelaugh

What a game by Maric. His body is shot ? lol

Good work Ivy :clap

well if his body isn't shot he's had a very bad year. great game but I still think he's struggling over the season with injuries. not sure today proves otherwise.

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

I am really pleased he was a solid contributor today.
That said, I am concerned that his body is struggling at times.
Hope he's cherry-ripe if we make the finals, because we will need his formidable presence.

Great today, as good as last year

 

[DragaTheCro]

The big Croat was fantastic today and has been all year. Has a heart the size of Phar Lap's.

So true Draga. Works himself into the ground and gave the mids silver service. I reckon his biggest asset is his intimidating physical presence. Not many want to try and manhandle Richmond players any more.

I thought he was "Goneski" zipper??!!

We won yesterday on the back of a dominant ruck display by Ivan, 13 clearances before the Hawks got their first, that is a spanking. On the other hand Geelong lost their match to the Roos with a lame duck ruck display by West, the should have kept the big O, they may have had a chance.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Was stoked when Bailey withdrew.

 

[Streak]

Anyone else hear the comment that he's number 1 for hit outs to advantage or some such!!??

Yes, and I think that was what they said.

 

[Col.E.Kurtz]

Yes, and I think that was what they said.

I don't think it's true. But I Haven't seen the stat published.

 

[fastin bulbous]

I don't think it's true. But I Haven't seen the stat published.

I think it was for effective hit outs or hit outs to advantage

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

Heard Luke Hodge today say that Maric's efforts against the Hawks showed what an important player he is for the Tigers.

 

[scottyturnerscurse]

His double-palmed tap to Daicos who dribbled it through for a goal was a delightful piece of play.

 

[nikolasmia]

If he plays well we can't lose

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

I reckon Dimma might continue the experiment of the two ruck option and see how Orren goes again this week.
I mean, the Big O isn't going to be the ruckman of the future for the Tigers, but Maric does need a decent chop-out each match if he is going to have some sort of sustainable influence over matches.

Don't listen to Hodgey, he's a one eyed Tiger supporter.

Possibly. I thought it worked well. Big O is a better tap ruck than Maric or Vickery.

 

[GoodOne]

I don't think he is. Both Maric and Vickery have very good tap to advantage figures percentage-wise. I pay special attention to this when reading the Herald Sun stats every week. Admitedly didn't see them for this week.
