Martin in is good for team balance, hopefully he can perform to a decent level and get through the game. His next contract depends on it.

Fisher out is bad for team balance, but with all the noise about player unrest, it's hard not to connect a few dots.

Ed curnow could be the opposite, don't really need him, but you know he plays a team first style.

If we lose this week, it may be a big shake up next week. Hopefully we've done the right thing at the selection table.
Can't give Martin another contract, he just misses too many games and has through his career. Its inevitable he will get injured again but hopefully can play a few games in a row..

Is this a joke ?

Martin should have been cut end of last year and this year it’s been more of the same.
Thought at the time of drafting him we too generous with his contract and that assumption was correct. Has delivered nothing.

Just can’t have players like him on the list and expect to improve.

Bit shocked Binns can't get a game this week. Essendon are probably the ideal team for him to debut against given they play a outside running style and his form in the twos has been decent and consistent.

The two players we don't play in the midfield are Dow and Fisher. If we win the ball in the middle we are ok if we don't win the ball in the middle then we are in trouble. Maybe running Dow and Fisher through the middle might be a plan. Who knows?
Dow's pace is 'one-paced' and not fast pace, unfortunately.

Martin is obviously always injured but when he plays he is dangerous. Unlike all of our other small forwards he can mark the ball.

Tbh, there isn't anything he can't do....except be consistent and fit.

We waited years for docherty and Charlie to get fit and its paying off, if we get the same kind of 'luck' with Martin, the upside is huge.
If.

If he plays on Sunday, Ill predict 8 disposals, 5 marks 1 tackle and 1 junk time goal.
