After what Ivan Maric himself admitted was an indifferent 2015 season, he lost his job early last year to Shaun Hampson and played out his contract in the VFL while carrying a back complaint. Talk of an off-season trade to Collingwood with a transition to coaching dried up, and he was re-signed for one year. While nobody was going to confirm it at the club, it would not be surprising at all if Maric does make that move to coaching sooner rather than later, as Hampson looks to have his job permanently now and back problems can linger for years and flare up at any moment. He should not be drafted in your league.
Last drinks for big Ivan
