With an inkling of hindsight (which would've been available to the selection committee)....
Playing Martin. He clearly wasn't fit.
I made a comment in the in-game thread that he could barely walk at one stage (1st or 2nd qtr) and i thought he should be subbed out. For a bloke who is super fast, agile and smooth.....he looked like a miniture version of Levi. Not good enough. He shouldn't have been picked before the bye, and i figured he was fit enough when the picked him, he was not.
I wouldn't have picked Parks.....done nothing.
I would've played Murphy (for Martin).....as least Murphy can run.
All that being said.....i wasn't simply talking about that one game. We've played underdone players all year. Levi should've been dropped about 3 weeks before he was. Williams probably shouldn't have played a few games he did.
I think plenty of people have pointed this out in Thursdays teams over the year.
Ask me again on Thursday and i'll point out what i think is wrong with it.
So Murphy for Martin and ?? for Parks, whatvever. Would it have made a difference?
