Martin is a 3rd tall in our forward line with no JSOS down there and is a marking target as well as a creative ground player.
Orazio and Durdin are traditional small forwards only so different players to Martin imho and not competing for the same position. I think Martin also makes life easier for Charlie and Harry as that alternative target.
The player being missed is Fogarty who provides the extra pressure you need as the modern forward.
Playing both Orazio and Durdin in the same team doesn't work....
Not sure what you expect from Fantasia. We only had 38 inside 50s and had 12 goals from it which is a good return.
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.
Binns has benefited from being allowed to develop his craft in the Magoos and is way ahead of Moir.I can't see Binns or Carroll giving us less match influence than Fantasia, I don't understand our selection at the moment, there are obviously skills, tasks and strategies we can't see.
