Martin does it every week.

All this Martin crap is going too far. Yes he wasn't tagged but does anyone appreciate how bloody good he is!

I mean all this talk like we are scared to tackle him....we don't want to tackle him. I mean seriously?

He is an elite player who is abnormally strong through the core. We have an undersized mid field group and played 6 new players and had lots of under 21 year old. What do you expect.

He has perfected a technique that the majority of opponents can't deal with hence why he uses it every week. But posters here esay get a big bodied midfielder and it's problem solved. Sorry to burst your bubble but big bodied midfielder don't fix every problem.

Play the game again next week and get ready for the same result.

Sometimes the opposition is just better. Get used to it. We are rebuilding after all.

If you watched how we approached him you would see our players tried to corral rather than tackle him, River Rat observed Gibbs lineup  near Martin then duck shoved the job onto a younger player. when he should have taken the job on.
There was some push and shove with Vlastuin I think it was and our blokes all came in then left real quick when Martin arrived including Casboult...how many more examples do you need?
I cant think of one successful tackle being laid on Martin....not one....we have an undersized mid field....why?......Richmond are a non finals team and have been for a while which means the good tams are dealing with and tackling Martin fine...as Leigh Matthews said when he coached Brisbane...if it bleeds you can kill it".....
What example does it set to younger players when some senior players dont want to put it on the line.....would Luke Hodge or Jordan Lewis back off, or a Josh Kennedy(swans), or Libba..?
Opposition better???.....get used to it....been doing  that since 1995, how about the club telling the players to harden the f#$k up and dont embarrass the Navy Blue jumper ....young blokes and Matt Wright excused..

Can somebody explain why we passed on Xavier Richards during trade week?

Largely because he's crap.

Agree. But that's more a reflection of this forum than young Jack. I'm in the "undecided" camp as far as JS is concerned.

I wonder if Bolts feels a bit of pressure to play him, regardless of how he performs ? Partly because of his old man and partly because he's already a crowd favourite - every time he goes near it, they go off.

Jack's enthusiastic and cocky, and he works hard, and that's fine. Being the No1 forward in our team is not hard, and in my view is possibly a dubious honor.

I like having him in the team, but the amount of pumping of his tires is out of whack to his actual ability IMO. 

I know it's early days, and he may develop into a beauty. But I'd rather wait and see for now.

Makes it even with Joe Daniher then...Lloyd and all the other EFC faithful have pumped Daniher up so much he could float away into orbit...
Think you have to give the fans some hope and the Silvagni name is associated with success so we need to spruik him like Essendon have done with Daniher...
