He played against the Lions in round zero and did well. He played against the Giants early in the year and stood Hogan (who resorted to punching him) for much of it.

One of the reasons we wanted to play finals, even when things were pretty grim, was to give the young players a chance to experience finals pressure.
It will be beneficial in the campaigns to come.
Fact is that quite a few of our younger players got that experience last year.
Some who didn't experience finals last year are Lord, Binns, and Moir.
We have a bit of a dilemma.
It looks like we could get players back.
Do we push those young players out to accomodate them...not really knowing the returning players true level of fitness and more importantly match fitness.
Do we deny these youngsters finals experience, given there is still a slim chance of progressing deep into the finals.
Logic would say play the experience, even if there is some doubt about their ability to come up.
You would want to be a brave coaching group to look to the future...but to my mind I wouldn't be that upset if they went down that path.

INS: Charlie, Harry, McG, Martin, TDK, Zac
OUTS: Pitt, Orasio, Young, Cowan, Durdin, (Lord or Binns)
Tbh aside from Cerra and Doch, it’s probably the strongest team we’ve had all year.
Question marks still remain about TDKs availability.

Big no to Martin, we need to move on.
I wouldn't bring anyone back unless they are 100%.

I think Martin, if he plays 4 quarters, adds a bit of class that’s needed.
Would’ve preferred Fogarty but not available.
FWIW I’m all for trading Martin at seasons end. Or delisting.

But same can be said about Orasio, and Durdin was no where near the level yesterday either.Disappointing because a fit Martin is a great addition to our forward line bringing much needed x-factor, Moir may bring this in time but isn't fit enough to do it for 4 quarters at the moment (according to Voss). Martin's injury history will see him yield very little at the trade table.

Yep.
He has always been the type of player that could win you a final.
Don't rely on him to play 22 games a year, but if fit and you need some x-factor who can turn the game in 10 minutes of footy, he is it.
Who are we going to pick in front of him? Durdin, Fantasia?? Nope.
Re: AFL Finals 2024 Carlton vs Brisbane in Brisbane - madbluboy - 08-26-2024
He would more than likely break down in the first quarter.
