Ruckman Ivan Maric says hes a Richmond AFL player as long as the Tigers want him.A dip in form that has limited him to just three senior games this season couldnt have come at a worse time with the 30-year-old off contract at the Tigers.Retired three-time premiership player Brian Lake last week predicted that Maric would be part of a Richmond list clean-out, citing his lack of mobility as a factor.Maric said he was leaving negotiations to his manager but believed he would continue at the club, which he joined ahead of the 2012 season from Adelaide.Theyve indicated to me that theyre happy with me at the club, he said.I know that the 3-0 next to my name can influence things but thats just the way it goes.Ive got so much fight in me and the body feels awesome.My body feels great so bring on another pre-season, no worries.Maric conceded it had been a difficult season, which started with a back injury handing Shaun Hampson the ruck role which he hasnt surrendered.But Maric was philosophical about how it had panned out.Thats life - its not always going to be easy, he said.Shauns worked so hard for it for a number of years so its fantastic to see how well hes going and he deserves it.Maric said he still loved the game whether he was playing in the AFL or VFL.The game is the same and expectations are high for me.Im playing footy every week and Im not complaining and I wont.

After taking two big hits this week -- losing at home and dropping back-to-back games for the first time all season -- Indiana struck back by playing its most complete game of the year.

Cheap Air Max Shoes . -- New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis is retiring after a 16-year career to become the goalie coach for the Los Angeles Galaxy. Everyone knows hes a peach of an NRL player, but all the natural skill in the world still couldnt teach Tyrone Peachey how to tackle in the centres.But season-ending knee injuries to Penriths all-international centre pairing in Dean Whare and Peta Hiku this year meant Peachey had to learn, and learn fast.Id never played there anywhere, even through my juniors, he told AAP.This is the first time. I was pretty nervous the first time I got put there. But with injuries, I was like the fifth or sixth-string centre. I just had to try and do my best.The early results were discouraging.It was against the Warriors. I let in a few tries and went back and did video with (coach Anthony Griffin) and he spoke me through whhat I needed to do, Peachey said.So I watched footage of guys like Dean Whare and Peta Hiku and just tried to replicate what they do.For a bloke whos made a living off his innate talents, its only hours spent on the computer that has resulted in him staying in the starting line-up.Fridays crunch against the Wests Tigers will be Peacheys 10th consecutive game in the centres, easily the longest stretch of consecutive games in one position in his career.AAsked how many hours worth of clips he watched, he says: A lot, and mostly defensively.ddddddddddddAnd yet despite the likely return of both New Zealand internationals next season, Peachey is still considering a permanent shift to the flanks.Its tough position. You feel like youre by yourself out there in the centres, theres a lot of space out there and a lot of fast guys, he said.But Im really enjoying it. Im not going to think about next year because weve got two of the best centres in the comp, but I like it out there. Ill just play whatever position Hook wants me to play.Enamoured with his unexpected, though successful, shift to the centres, Peachey, who is signed until the end of 2017, is now considering joining a growing list of players committing to the club long-term.I didnt know what I wanted when I first moved here, he said.I thought I was going to be here for two years then move back to Cronulla. But Penrith grew on me. Ive got a lot of good mates, I love the club and the direction its going on. I dont want to leave. ' ' '
