Will we use Maric as a sole ruckman? Or in tandem with Angus or Browne?

I'm guessing as a sole ruckman in tandem with Vickery. A combo of Maric, Browne and/or Graham doesn't have much agility around it. Would be like watching a herd of elephants play footy. Can only support one IMO.

Not even us would not do a medical on a signing TM...I hope :-\

I am of the understanding that the club medico's share information on players that clubs are discussing in trades. A medical person may confirm but I think it is okay for doctors to share confidential medical information. Thus the prospective buying club would know that player x had an ankle injury and was treated with a,b,c,d and was cleared for training.

Still I think it would be wise for a club to do their own medical tests.
 
On face value, Adelaide have trumped us on this trade IMO. 37 slightly over the odds.
Let's hope what Hartley sees in him comes to fruition, we desperately need a ruckman.

same here a little bit too much from our end i think. but its done now so welcome maric.

hope you proove to us that your worthy of being a quality no 1 ruckman for the RFC !!
 
We've only paid overs if the club thinks he's a ruckman with no scope for improvement.

We're gagging for a ruckman with some mongrel. That's Ivan. Starting 22, one of the first on our team list this year. Pick 37 is around the ballpark.
 
When you consider Adelaide paid #33 & #67 for Jacobs last year, and 2011 is a weaker draft, #37 seems about right. 26 in Jan, we'll get his best footy straight away. Fingers crossed.

We didn't have pick 38, 39, 40 or 40-45.
We had pick 37, and that's what we were able to offer Adelaide for Maric.
Pick 55 wasn't going to work.
Saying we have paid slightly overs is a theoretical tug.
This trade has filled a need at a reasonable price.

He was also in the Adelaide leadership group this year which is interesting for a bloke that didn't get much of a go in the 1's.

Even still, you probably pay a bit for a bloke out of an AFL club leadership group.

Hopefully some other clubs agree with you and make some decent offers for *smile*.
 
Being a Glenelg fan in the sanfl, I can tell you all Maric reguarly cut up our team playing for Port Magpies. We have had an excellent ruckman in the past few years and a decent team too. Many have scratched their heads wondering how Maric doesnt get a game for the Crows, I guess last year Jacobs likely kept him out.

Maric certainly won't be our saviour, but from what I have seen he will certainly give us a good contest in the ruck and is more mobile than Gus or Browney.

Buys us more time to develop Gus & Browne as well.
