Surprised by this. Blues haven't managed him properly for mine. 

Dee's have any interest?

Potentially low risk with high reward if the price and terms are right. Not sure if we would have any more luck getting him fit than what Carlton has though.

Martin has struggled with injuries since moving to Carlton and hasn't played a full AFL season since 2017 which is all I think we need to know.

He'll be picked up, but I think he's more likely to go west at this point.

Hahah yeah you guys are probably right. Freo has some interest apparently after a medical.

Some Carlton friends suggest they havent managed his injuries that well but who knows.

Carlton have had a shot ton of injuries and sacked their fitness boss. So perhaps they realise it’s on them. If his injuries were manageable / improvable  he’d certainly be a good pick up.

Even poorer man's Shane McAdam, don't need another NQR medium forward on the list

What a waste of talent. Had his injuries but you have to wonder if he had the professional attitude needed

Blues spent the farm on him (and Zac Williams) and both have been massive fails

He'll be 30 soon, so not worth the bother

Correct. Commentary was always that he and Williams had the ability to play midfield but never returned to preseason fit.

A no from Mr.

Which is a tad ironic because I was dead keen when he was last on the market.

Good thing I'm not in recruitment given Martin was very good coin at the blues.

This comment from the blues wouldn't give other clubs much confidence (it feels like a bit of a nothing statement)

"Jack also showed a resilient mindset through his five seasons and has made some lasting friendships at the football club"

Got enough problems of our own.

Actually saw him at the shops a month or two ago and was struck by how much he just didn't look like an AFL footballer. Well aware he's had his injuries over his whole career but I'd expect to see someone in ripping nick, toned leg muscles and decent shoulders – if he'd been eating well and doing the amount of gym you'd expect of an AFL footballer, particularly one that has spent lots of time on the sidelines. But he just looked kind of meek.

My brother was playing footy in QLD at the time Jack Martin was playing late years of juniors. All everyone would talk about was how good he was. 
 

Hard to believe it’s amounted to so little

Nah.

But I see 'long fingers' Marchbank was also delisted. Weird that the Blues showed such little loyalty to him just ONE YEAR after he 'SINGLEHANDEDLY' robbed us of a win against those rats last year. 

I'd almost be happy to take him, then drive him somewhere and leave him there. He'll be fine! I don't wish him harm. He'll thrive. He can use those super long fingers to pluck fish from rivers, and maybe even a few birds as they fly overhead. When he's done he can tap some aircraft to collect him, or latch on. Whatever.

One of the most talented juniors in recent memory. He never put it together through a combination of poor work ethic and injuries, similar to Harley Bennell though less troubled. If he had the determination he could've been a star of the game, but alas he's now 30 and on the scrap heap returning home to WA.

Nnnnnnooooope.

If Carlton thought he was worth anything they would have held him and facilitated a trade for at least a basic burnable pick to use for the Camporeale twins.

Not managed properly?  He is lazy and not professional enough.

Steer clear

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
