Exactly why he should tag Martin

Totally against Gibbs tagging Martin. He should be playing basically the exact same game as last week.
He should put a lot of body pressure on Martin as often as he can, but Curnow should have the run with role.
Goals for 2017
=============
Play the most anti-social football in the AFL

Neither Curnow or Gibbs can mix it with Martin ....we have been trying for years to limit him without success. Gary Ablett jr is a nice clean player but he doesnt have the power of Martin in close and thats where he always gets our players as none can lay a tackle on him.
Maybe Gibbs can play off Martin and hope to cause equal amount of damage but I'd expect Hardwick to tag Gibbs and play defensive forwards on at least Docherty and maybe Simpson..

If Cripps had more pace I would try him on Martin...thought he was down last week and his direct opponent in Lyons was GC's best player....

Martin ran riot rnd 1, that will not happen this Sunday, of this I am supremely confident.
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

i would be telling the Bolt to clean up Dusty if he gets the chance, ditto Jones....
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Some of our blokes will have to grit their teeth and attempt to tackle him then...1st round they were throwing one arm out or jumping out the road...it was shades of when we played Barry Hall in the bad old days. You have to take the beast head on and show you wont be intimidated...needs a leader to do that....

The Bolt and Dusty tangled in the 1st round and from memory the Bolt didnt want to mix it....bit embarrassing ....

Dusty is not going to be put off his game by pushing him around... id prefer us to win it without any of those dirty tactics, I've always hated how Murph has been targeted by opposition players and I'd prefer to show our skill rather than rough play

I agree, but we're firmly in the minority. The tagging scragging niggling etc. is seemingly here to stay, by popular demand as much as anything else.
