Motlop will probably go back to the VFL and make way for Martin (If he got through the game OK)
He'll have learnt a thing or two playing at that higher level and some things to work on will have been explained to him.
He can try out his 'new' tricks with a little less pressure.
Long term he'll be fine. He has the skills...and a bit of a 'strut', so he doesn't lack confidence.
One of the things about injuries is that they throw extra pressure on those fringe players.
When a side is close to full strength those players can play to their strengths due to the support around them.
When that support is lost through injury they then have to step up and take a bit of extra responsibility, sometimes above their capabilities.
That's when they're exposed.
Where do we stand at the moment.
We probably need to win four more games to make the finals.
We should do that but, but the reality is we're probably in the 6th to 8th range rather than a top 4 side...even at full strength.
Next year though.... ;D
