What's all this love for Martin???? Hasn't played for 3 weeks and was insipid when he did....Also waving at the camera when your team is getting thrashed was not a good look

You have absolutely no idea. Martin has had a hip injury all year. Has played one game back against box hill two weeks ago. Do people just forget at the season he had last year ?? It's flabbergasting reading the utter garbage some profess to know. I couldn't give a crap if he waved to a tv camera ! Focusing on the issues here arnt we. Fact of the matter is there is more up side with having Martin in he 22. He move well, rucks well, marks and can go forward and kick a goal.

if martin has been injured all year then he shouldn't have played. and him waving to the camera is a bad look and sums up our bloody culture i dont care what anyone says! there is more upside when he is fully fit. not like this year where he has been totally useless.

I agree there no point playing him underdone.... My dig is at the people that seem to refer to him as a spud .... He goes alright when fit and he proved that when jamar went down last year. Sometime I just can't believe people's short term memories.

When is Trengove going to get the axe........? Whooops he's captain that would be politically incorrect

then leave Moloney in & maybe he can play skipper to stop his friggin sulking

Jamar has to be injured surely

I don't think Moloney and Jamar will be dropped. Neeld was making noises about Beamer trying hard, and he was. I don't know if Couch would be more value...

If they are dropped, I think that might be it for them at the Dees. Not saying that should keep them in, I am just putting it out there.

Trying or not trying, he's playing sheizen football and has been ineffective in all but a couple of games. The past two weeks he's been in our bottom 3 players.

I can't see how can stay in the side after these performances.

Exactly. We could be sending Julia Gillard out there each week, and she may be trying, but she may also just be NO GOOD.

Hasn't played for 3 or 4 weeks and you want to put him up against Ryder and Bellchambers....and I have no idea????I watched that game against Box Hill and he was ordinary....Is he your relative?????

I'd rather have Martin in the side than Sellar, even if he's not fully fit. He can sit up forward and stand there with one hand in the air while looking at the ground when the ball is coming in just as well and maybe even better than Sellar can. He is also a much better relief ruckman.

I'd rather see an unfit Martin go in and relieve Jamar against Ryder and Bellchambers than a fully fit Sellar ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.

I don't see much difference between the two....

Dunn played well in 2010 and looked like he wasnt a spud .....

I enjoyed when he was running into goal 20m out and check sided it out on the full

from an acute angle and under pressure - tell the full story - got the curve on the ball but it turned way too early

We'd be running short of players...

Will that make much difference to the score line PaulRB.

A large number seem to be witches hats most weeks so does it matter which ones we use?

I can see her being a terrific goal sneak.

The Doggies would never stand for it anyway, they'd want first dibs. She certainly couldn't do any harm to the potency of their forwardline.

Oh wait, they beat us didn't they..

Should have run left and use his left foot.

Too much of a show pony.

Not enough skill.

Made me squirm

I assume you are speaking from experience and have done this quite a few times to the adulation of the thousands who were watching you do it....no pressure of course

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
