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....

What about Dunn's game did you like?

I'd bring back Col Sylvia.

If the camera wasn't on him when he was laughing with the Sydney player, would have he been dropped?

Probably, he put in his fourth ordinary performance in a row. He needs some time at Casey to get match fitness and confidence back up.

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

Gives us a physical presence up forward, CAN roost from outside 50 although did not do so this week, and CAN and did win contests at ground level.

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

Should have run left and use his left foot.

Too much of a show pony.

Not enough skill.

Made me squirm

Ditto Petterd & from this week Moloney!

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?

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

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..

Mind you, as Kevin Rudd can attest, she can get away with putting her hand in someone else's back and getting away with it.

A bit of Stef Martin hate floating around. Short memories.

Ridiculous to compare him to Sellar whose provided the sweet sum of F all. Martin can take a grab in the forward 50 for a start..

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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
