Maric played as a 2nd ruckman under Griffen in 2010.

Re: Welcome To Richmond Ivan Maric
He also was a late bloomer from all accounts. If anything I think those comparisons show that stats can be useless, I think we could all agree that Ivan will be 10000% better than Angus
I think Ivans stats are way down due to him always being not so much the primary ruck. Angus was pretty much playing 80% first ruck in most of our games which would have boosted his stats.Hey Stig, does the club feel that Ivan is an upgrade on Graham?
Graham's betterDear lord...

Re: Welcome To Richmond Ivan Maric
Maric probably played against better teams due to draw bias though as RFC would be down the bottom. Also you do not know what the game time was either on the field with rotating rucks
Hey Stig, does the club feel that Ivan is an upgrade on Graham?
Or has it have to do with competition for the top spot?
I'm interested to see from which direction our club is coming because I have some stats here.

Re: Welcome To Richmond Ivan Maric
fair enough...I understand that, but if he was really a top ruckman, adelaide supporters would not be overly happy losing him. Since he tries his heart out..AND you already have a better first ruck in Jacobs - That's a strong reason for you to still feel comfortable and wish him luck. Hope he can turn things around and really over impress
good luck to him at tigerland!

Re: Welcome To Richmond Ivan Maric
Ahhh okay, my apologises then.
I liked his video package, we may have found another little gem here, we'll see how it goes.

Re: Welcome To Richmond Ivan Maric
We should have been trying to steal some more picks from GWS for him
Re: Welcome To Richmond Ivan Maric
Your stats fail to do one thing, show where those hit outs, kicks and handballs went, he will certainly put some pressure on the other two, which may see them improve as well and for pick 37 in a supposedly weak draft I think we did well, I would prefer Maric than paying 2 million to get Clarke and there really wasnt much else out there without giving up players and picks that we wern't prepared to give up.

Re: Welcome To Richmond Ivan Maric
Eevarn is very handy in the forward lines as well. He is an excellent set shot for goal and his instinctive leading is great.
You have a player who will give their all for the team. Will physically support the other players too.
Adelaide supporters have loved his passion when he has played. It's why we are supportive of him in this move. Wish the stupid sub rule doesn't exist, otherwise we would still have him on the list.

Re: Welcome To Richmond Ivan Maric
Thanks Stig for the video. Am happy we have him and the mere fact that he can actually jump off the ground in the ruck puts him in front of Graham.
I know he is a stop gap measure but who knows maybe he can go on and keep his spot when his initial contract runs out. My only issue is last time we recruited someone from another club and that clubs supporters were telling us how lucky we were to get him was Farmer and before that Thompson hopefully history doesn't repeat.

Re: Welcome To Richmond Ivan Maric
Having a crack isn't Browne's issue, its the fact they have to send a cardiac unit onto the ground if he has to run for more than five mins
Browne could still be a number 1 ruck, but he needs a better tank. couple more pre seasons, and relief work for Maric (when injured/out of form/etc) may be good for him

Re: Welcome To Richmond Ivan Maric
We paid what he was worth.
Yes, but if he was a really top ruckman, we would have had to give up a lot more than pick 37 to get a really top ruckman.

Re: Welcome To Richmond Ivan Maric
Welcome to the big guy. Should go all right. 37 seems fair, we must feel that there is some upside to him and paying a second round pick for that is equitable. A lot of teams around us last season should be on the improve this season and plugging a few holes should stop us sliding back down the ladder. Going to be a lot harder this year to maintain our ladder position.

Re: Welcome To Richmond Ivan Maric
Sad to see him go.
The only player it seemed with the guts during our NC soft-**** era to stick up for his mates on the field.
I remember when Dangerfield copped that bad tackle against Melb, Ivan was straight in there to show support. He was the only one that seemed to give a shit, but that didn't stop him.
I hoe he delivers Richmond supporters plenty of good memories.

Re: Welcome To Richmond Ivan Maric
Graham is certainly better on paper, maric was 2nd tier to shit rucks two years in a row! Bad feeling about it but always hope for the best!

Any player who keeps cream puff Graham from the side has to be an improvement.
