There is something in this thought I believe. Cas is better suited to running with Martin that either Wood or Warnock both of whom would be exploited by Martin's ability o present around the ground. Even if Cas did no more than stick tight to Martina and give a genuine contest against Martin around the ground that would be better than the free reign Martin would have if "manned up"(and I use that term in the broadest possible sense) by either Warnock or Wood.
IH, I agree about the run, and you would think given the weights Meat can press he'd be the choice for body on body work.
But anyone who makes that assumption is wrong, Meat's biggest weakness is in the wrestle, he lifts like Tarzan and wrestles like Jane!
When you are 100kg and 200cm out on an AFL field of play you have two massive allies, potential and kinetic energy, and the difference between Meat and say Maric is that Maric is prepared to use both to hurt, intimidate and influence players!
