and yet somehow he had absolutely no influence on the game
Oh, heās a squib alright
There is different kinds of soft. Itās the kicks to open ground when you could compose yourself and hit a target kind of soft.
Go to 8:12 of the 3rd Q blitzers, watch for 5 seconds and then try and tell me heās not a squib.
As I watched the ball sail through the air I felt a sense of relief. āAll good, we got this.ā He was in clear position to contest, possibly even take an intercept mark. Instead, he saw an opponent coming the other way and shirked the contest.
Heās softer than a pensionerās turd. But thatās ok because he gets lots of touches and clocks up heaps of kās. My calls to trade him were heat of the moment, headless chook stuff so Iām happy to back pedal and cop s**t for back pedalling. He has good hands and is a decent kick for goal so perhaps thereās a spot for him in the forward line.
But make no mistake, he does pea-hearted stuff like what Iāve highlighted all the time.

Yep, he does lick and choose at times. He frustrates and canāt hide suspect intensity down back.
No he doesnāt. Fumbles and double clutches half the time.
forward please

FMD what a waste of a year.

Keep him inside forward 50, he knows where the goals are.
He butchers the ball too much any further up the field.

Considering you attributed Caldwellās two turnover errors to Martin, Iām not at all confident in this assessment.

Um no. Iām talking about the 3 handball turnovers Martin did. What are you talking about?
Caldwell turnovers were obvious for any dummy to see.
The thing was it was never a debate, EVERYONE outside the coaches box knows of his rightful position.

100% game time for Martin tonight. Not something you see these days for non key position players.
Amazing that he could stay on all game whilst running from one end to the other constantly helping down back, providing an outlet on the wing and a the popping up as a marking option up forward

If he is played in defence next year, Brad Scott should be marched out of the club.
