What a horror that last game was. Bicep, meniscus and ACL injuries. It appears his body cannot take the rigors of modern AFL? I hope the club does everything to assist in his rehab, as it is hard to imagine he will be on the list next season. Is he out of contract?

    When you are likely to be delisted for the second time at close to 30 and you do an ACL, that would seem a strong possibility.

    He has been very unlucky with injuries.

    Just bad luck and bad timing and possibly putting himself in harms way more often than not – nothing else.

    A good player and a good bloke. Wishing him a good recovery.

    Hate to knock a good bloke when hes down but the list management decision to re-sign him last year, pass on Riak Andrew (who Swom have already extended out for a 3rd year) and not use the rookie spot on AJ instead of the ND pick, was poor forward thinking and overly optimistic on our chances this year

    He just has. His recovery is coming along great and he’s really pleased about it but he knows it’s time to call time on his career.

    Didn't know how to 'react' as not trying to besmirch him or his retirement, shame it didnt work out this time with cursed run of injuries. Great bloke though by all accounts, lived his dream.

    I really liked him first time round at the club and didn't know why they let him go. Second time round injuries have just been overwhelming. I am sorry he never really made a go of it.

    Just wish it worked out a bit better for him. Plenty of stories just like this in the league.

    One of the good guys, all the best Marty,

    Good luck Marty Hore, so sad that you didn’t get the opportunity to play more games due to injuries. I met him at the family day at the G in 2019, he was such a friendly bloke and easy to talk with. I was happy when we picked him up the second time around but Marty has had a diabolical time with season ending injuries. Hope you have better luck with the next phase of your life Marty.👍😁

    It would have been nice for Marty and the club to orchestrate his own announcement of his retirement. I appreciate the update and sentiment, but resignations should be dictated by the person who retires.

    But everyone knows that anything I ever say on here should be taken with a grain of salt. I’ve been accused of embellishment, passing off guesses as facts and even straight up fabrication.

    Besides, I heard of this while with a group of others who also heard it so it’s not like huge attempts are being made to keep it quiet. Also, it’s hardly earth-shattering news, it actually comes as no surprise.

    Finally, please don’t say you appreciate the update and sentiment when you obviously don’t. That’s called lying.

    One career goal, one absolute belter at a crucial time of a game. Good strike rate.

    * and one ludicrously proportioned video.

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
