I didn't see the big fella kick a ball yesterday, but geez his a big strong looking lad, lost a bit of puppy fat an just looks strong. He was doin running with McBean an trailed behind him most of the time so no doubt fitness has a way too go which is expected

He is a 3 year project, Chances are he will be given enough time to develop

My guess is that if he is ready by the time Ivan is ready to retire then Good , If Not - DELIST

considering rucks who play footy all their lives are rarely ready by the time they are 21, i doubt Ivan v.2 will be delisted just because he is not ready to take over no.1 duties.

We are talking about in 4 years time here when Ivan Maric is finished

4 years is well and truly long enough,If he is not ready by 24/25 he never will be

Where is the training report CC? Would love an old school CC report to make the off season a happier place.

Is Ivan looking a prospect? Had a year at TAC and our VFL. Has he got the skills to make it?
I thought he showed encouraging signs, but his coming from a mile back though.

I umpired him in a practice game at O&M 2nds level two years ago and despite him having to receive instructions from the midfielders on where to run and position himself for ruck contests I would have given him votes if it were a H&A game.

It was a 32 degree day and after rucking for 4 quarters in the 2's he Rucked for a further 2 quarters in the 1's.

His athleticism was very good, it was just his understanding of how to play our game after coming from a basketball background that was his biggest problem.

Thanks for the insight.
