'I love the club already': Why 'grateful' Maric is happy to call Eagles home

Mid-season recruit Ryan Maric has revealed how grateful he feels for his opportunity at the top level and the affinity he has established with the Eagles

But I was led to believe all young Victorians drafted will want to move back home straight away

Only if they are really good - mid range ones don’t want to leave until they establish themselves in the team.

Or play for Fremantle. But that applies to WA guys too.

Love this bloke. Reckon he'll be one of our best pickups this rebuild.

Technically he was the only one we picked up in that draft so that’s a slam dunk

Yeah I edited it just before lol.

So guess we should be put an extra behind the ball this week.

Wait for the media to hammer us over this loss now.

No they won't.

Nobody who turns the media cycle was watching - the Matildas and Carlton vs Melbourne were on at the same time - and from the score, it's doubtful they will bother to view the replay.


Monday & Tuesday can be expected to be dominated by Carlton, Collingwood and Grundy. Then the Matildas play their Semi Final on Wednesday. Teams come out on Thursday and 1st vs 2nd is on Friday.

Any discussion on a one-sided match between two teams outside of finals will be very low.

Probably just the generic - "Simmo under pressure again, disappointed that all the effort of the last 2 weeks gone to waste"

Lloyd was absolutely spot on

Not too much to disagree with other than Kane's way too hypocritical about the doc stuff, given the most amateurish thing we've seen this year is Port sending Aliir back on the ground

 

[bzparkes]

Meh, Kane's just desperate for a scalp because he hates the club.

Damo, of all people, was correct in stating that history suggests sacking earlier is a bad decisions and they may as well wait for the end of the season, especially only being 2 weeks away.

How asthma medication forced young Eagle out of derby clash

Brady Hough was a late withdrawal just minutes before the opening bounce that caused the game to be delayed

Kid should never have been put in that position to begin with. Match Committee should be ashamed.

More concerned with our training re. Doping after the Rioli saga.

Surely if you're known to the club to be asthmatic you would be educated on puff limits on gameday.

 

[Truckosaurus]

More surprised he doesn't have a medical exemption.

He wasn't taking ventolin because he's asthmatic, he was taking it because he had teh flu.

He may never have taken ventolin before in his life, hence the oversight.

Looks like Kane is spending all his shock-jock money on Grecian 2000 and botox...

holy hell, you know you’re a flogiest of flogs when you have TJ & Barrett calling you on your opinion and coming to our defence

When Damo is the voice of reason something has gone HORRIBLY wrong

He's not Asthmatic, he was on Ventolin due to a bad flu.

His life as a firey was hard on him.

 

[Broken_Chairs]

Still, you'd think the club would have had some awareness of the medication he was on & would have let him know the parameters in which he can use it.

 

[Tugga27]

Still, you'd think the club would have had some awareness of the medication he was on & would have let him know the parameters in which he can use it.

I'm sure the club advised him of the dosage.
From what I've read, he simply took too much.
