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

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
