Martin is far from a superstar but he is one of the more unreliable players on our list. The Captain of the rehab group is Marchbank who is the worst player on our list as far as reliability goes. Our injury list unfortunately is season defining.
Marchbank - Captain
Martin - Vice Captain
Cunningham Deputy Vice Captain

I'd fark them all off at years end, nuffs enuff.

These guys are a big problem to build and maintain team cohesion - club keeps talking about connection between the lines well we have starting 23players that don't play on decent pay packets. Need to move them on and bring players where the team can build cohesion between the lines. More Acres, E Hollands, Fogarty types...

Martin broken down again! Re injured his calf.

Time to put a line thru this bloke or how long did we re sign our SC guru for again?

Year in year out constantly have the comps
worst injury lists - wont win a flag if this continues



I have been saying this forever and a day - don't need superstars just dependable players that can play a role we already have dependable and reliable superstars. Continuing with these players is untenable.

Maybe Pitto was also the reason we lost three of four games.\Essendon looks better with only Goldstein and no Draper.

That goes with every team in the competition. If we want to be unique then sure - Cripps and Kennedy rucking against second string rucks was not ideal but need to utilise Harry more.

While getting smashed in the clearances, struggling to take a mark around the ground and having our key forwards double-teamed 🤔

TDK was winning clearances and tackles when he was solo ruck. (also taking marks around the ground and kicking goals) mids were slightly out of form first few rounds but our scoring from turn over was through the roof and that's pedal to the metal.

Good win and still many problems - no idea why Kemp was dropped last week.
Pitto had a better rounded game - but comedy central when we needed run in the last and Pitto handballed to TDK expecting him to clear it which he did - but at that moment we needed a runner not a ruckman.
If I see Cincotta dropped for ZW there is going to be a riot.
Ollie while not perfect was productive and didn't mind his game - just wondering how many games we are going to squeeze out of Martin this year

Let's not kid ourselves, Moir is 10,000 miles off. Needs a heap of development in so many areas and is being given time to do that. Fast tracking our high draft picks is 'old Carlton' done in desperation in the past (a small number of exceptions) and ruined a number of careers.

Surely Moir can do what Fantasia does? Even I can.

ZW should be on the trade table along with a pick. Maybe Bulldogs are stupid enough to bite considering they paid 3rd round for Coffield. Injury prone players with a long history are an avoid.

It is no secret the club needs to rebuild its depth because time is approaching fast to rest senior players periodically. But we havent got any 200 game 30 year olds yet.

Fair points tbh.
Prefer a ruthless approach and replace them with good durable players in aim to build synergy and connection between the lines.
Elijah Hollands + Blake Acres are perfect examples while not superstars maintaining match fitness and connection is super critical in todays game.. top end talent helps but not critical
For example I would replace both with Josh Battle and Will Hayward - they are reliable and durable and greater chance to build connection between the lines on training track than these blokes

Why 20 years? Because 23 years hurt your argument?
Triple premiership player Clark Keating played 20, 12 and 12 games in premiership years. The last of which he didn't play his 1st game until R15. THe next year when they were runner ups he only played 11 as well.

Geelong has made resting players a fine art with an ageing list. Danger, Selwood, Hawkins, Cameron.....whoever, they all get an extra rest of 2 throughout the year. Works for them.


I am not sure where you find Marchbank and Martin are being rested they have being rested for 5-6 years.

You are comparing players that will be lucky to get 10 games out of them per season to 200+ game players over the age of 30
