Binns is up to 32.
Binns has demanded his spot now. With Cerra out he can't be denied.

Yep, you'd reckon Durdin... but I wonder if it'll be Hewett or Cerra...
Hewett it is.

That's a lot of changes on top of Martin not having played much footy in recent times, we shouldn't expect much first game back but we can hope to be surprised. For me it's the 1st step of getting things in shape for the second half of the season.
Personally, I'll be happy to see Martin and McGovern get through unscathed.
Yep. I wouldn't be expecting to win in the next two weeks.

The high half forward role is a tough gig. A lot of hard running for little reward as you're in no man's land.
Cottrell isn't getting the numbers he used to, he's not out of form just playing a role where kicks are harder to come by.
What does Zac Williams bring to the team?
Can't be trusted one on one and he's not providing much rebound.

Say you swap Martin for Fantasia last week. Jack might kick 2 but Owies might only get 1. Jack might be too gassed to chase his man meaning others have to leave theirs. Collingwood score more.
Not everyone forward is going to get lots of the ball and kick goals.
We didn't lose because of Orazio.
We lost because Collingwood had a plan.
They blocked Cripps at every stoppage. They showed this on the Sunday footy show.
David King showed how they dragged Weitering out of the play. Even showed him being held on the ground for just long enough do he couldn't get back to help his defenders.

If he's declared ready to play, he'll be fit enough. The days of needing matches in the 2s are over for players like Martin. Get him straight in.
His base fitness levels are generally poor. Most players can come straight back in but not him. His first game back last year against the bombers had to be subbed off as he was absolutely spent.

Walsh's mistake cost us the game but he was still =2nd BOG.
I did write a lot of mistakes.
