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.

    Well done Marty

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

    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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
