  • Demonland changed the title to Marty Hore Re-Signs for 2025
 
 

He's our back up interceptor/ 3rd tall if Lever goes down. We had to keep him after delisting Tommo. Good luck Marty, have a big pre season and stay injury free, we may need to call on you next season. 


Well we weren't contracting Tomlinson for $500k again or anything near that figure, so it's a decent back up alternative.

He'll end up at the filth Tommo as a DFA.

Have to admire his persistence

 

Not unhappy with this.... and may surprise

Well done Marty

Good player, hopefully his body holds up and can cover for Lever when injured.

Edited by DubDee

Plays a role, is positive for culture, presumably taking very minimal salary cap space and even if you think he's a list clogger he's only clogging it for one season where the alternative, draft pick 127 or so, would have a minimum two.

In reality, signing him now is part of the planning process for hunting one of the still significant free agents available in 2025.

Also, there's still a real chance he'll take the step to being an AFL-level regular. He's not some useless clutz.

 


He's depth, he'd know it. I feel like we were waiting on whether we'd get Derksen from GWS. That failed, so we need coverage.

He might get a game or two next season, but it would be if we have multiple injuries I would think.

No point having depth players as injury cover who are always injured themselves. Poor decision. 

Wasn't helped this year by injury, wherever he plays he needs consistency to even be in the mix. Hope he has a more settled season next year.

Again injury cursed his year.  He looked okay in the limited games through the year.  He’s depth cover in the backline.  He is versatile and reliable.  Given we grabbed him back into the system at start of 2024, it’s fair enough that he gets another year.  With Tomlinson gone and Adams being a 50/50 prospect still under development, I thought Hore would get one more year.  

I'm thrilled with this one. I genuinely believe he is a Best 22 player that's capable of holding his own in a premiership side. I just hope he can have a great preseason, some luck with with injury or specifically lack there of, and secure his opportunity for a spot in the side where he can string multiple games together.


A lot worse players than Marty on the list.

Well said Mrs Hore

Required depth. Good for him as a person too, would've been rough if he got dumped again after one year (in terms of his ability to build a different career outside of footy etc).

good luck to Marty but gee it must have been borderline.

Agree. Hope he can make it, but never feel good about seeing him in the lineup. Way to slow with ball in hand and fumbly at the wrong times!

Good luck Marty!

I was a worst critic but I think you are exaggerating. He is good overhead but just a fraction slow with ball in hand after a mark like JJ used to be.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
