So, Martin's last month has really impressed you?
Sure, it looks like Martin needs a rest, but just as we can't have guys retain spots by default, we can't have guys get promotions by default. Undeserved promotion frames a horrible culture, they'll can't just fork around in the 2s until some bastard trips over in the 1s!
Carroll has played good games since returning from injury, give him a run.

Are we forgetting about Fisher? Surely he comes in for Martin.

Stop taking the "easy route" which has proven wrong time and time again.
I thought we had rebuilt and only needed draft picks to trade for top up cream on the cake players?.....?

and that is a strength of Honey, he is a good kick and opportunist.
Carroll deserves a game as well....maybe start him as the sub then introduce him properly the next week as he isnt as built as Honey and let him have a look/ a quarter of footy with the pace off the game.
Whats do we have to lose?.....we need to find fresh talent rather than rotating deckchairs.

It's funny but I would look at putting Martin on the Half Back flank. Even at VFL level. Get him in the game a little more.

If it becomes obvious that we are 'player managing' that probably means coaching decisions have been made and Teague would be aware of it...it would indicate to me that he's more likely to have been told he's got the extra 12 months of his contract.

Bar Essendon, all the sides above us have tough games this week. Reckon a win puts us one game out with not that tough a draw.

Even by our (in my opinion) appalling standards, sacking Teague after two and a half seasons, with all the attendant issues those seasons have brought, would be a new low point.

Suspect he has been assured of another year with Clarko in the wings for 2023 if needed.
