He has noticeable dropped off a long way, to not acknowledge this is blindness. As I said in the preview thread, he had 46 hitouts to 19 against Renouf last year, Renouf isn't great but he's no worse than West or Hudson. Maric was lucky to break even against West and Hudson this year, and to nearly triple the hitout count is a big step up from breaking even.
Not to mention around the ground he doesn't have the presence he had last year, he is struggling for form there's no doubt about it.
to be fair i think maric might have been going ok on west until he rolled the ankle
