Ivan Maric

[TigerMasochist]

Clearly Ivvy is worth a lot to us but on turning 29 next season, is he going to be part of our next premiership?
Depending on his contract and salary I'd shop him around and see what clubs are prepared to part with.
Obviously has an impact for our team but hasn't reached the levels of 2012 the past 2 seasons.

Love him but not untradeable for the right deal IMO.
Obviously would need to gain another ruck option in return.

Quite possibly not going to be around for our next premiership, just like possibly many others on the list. Would be one of the last players on my trade out list, massive leadership n influence on the playing group. We could barely manage a whimper while he was out early in the season, a large driving force behind the run of nine straight. Not always about pure ability, often more about effort, integrity, influence, Eevan has those values by the truck load.

You don' t trade out heart and soul players ... remember the Whale Roberts ?

It's not all about what happens on the field , Ivan is massively important to the team environment

May as well put the whole list up for trade and see what we can get....ridiculous

I believe if big Ivan were to grow a big handle bar moustache he could pull a Mitchell Johnson on the league next year and scare the bejesus out of the competition. Do it Ivan!!!

The mullet is scary enough, he'd be truly terrifying with a big handle bar moustache as well.

Bloody hell - sounds like another Ivan who gives me the real heebie jeebies i.e. Milat

I hope Ivan is looked after during the pre season, he is a crucial on field leader.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Announced as joint VC with Lids. Congrats to the big man.

 

[Baloo]

Your last sentence says all about Ivan. His influence on the team and the club as a whole cannot be underestimated. A promotion of a man who epitomes the true Tiger spirit

 

[GEDS1]

Good to formally recognise what was already happening. He's a rough diamond.

 

[CarnTheTiges]

Great decision by the club. He's a definite on field leader and it's good to see that they made it official.

 

[KiwiTig]

Good luck to the person doing his media training. Even more good luck to the image consultant ;D

Ivan is Ivan, nothing will change him and that's a-ok.

 

[Scoop]

Speak softly, speak true. That's his mantra. And is a super smart bloke.

Wouldn't be surprised if Ivvy was one of the break out media performers of 2015 and changes perception of him while creating a profile.

 

[BrisTiger24]

Ivan is Ivan, nothing will change him and that's a-ok.

And I'm guessing you're not putting your hand up to tell him he's not doing something right :hihi

 

[Tenacious Tiges]

And I cannot see that he needs to be groomed to change anything for the media. Speaks the truth and isn't that what we all want, not robots speaking but actually saying nothing.
