Apparently Martin has head up to qld to have the same calf treatment that saw him in good nick come finals time.
I like Martin, but this smacks of getting a bit desperate which might mean his body has simply broken down again.
For mine, I dont care about the names, it's all about the team performance and for the first time I'm really comfortable with where the coaches can take us.

Charlie and Harry have different roles. Apart from his ruck role, Harry plays further up the ground. Charlie’s role means that he rarely goes past the centre, unless he’s needed in defence.
If Charlie is “coasting”, let’s have more of it I say!
I'd be curious to see the data on Charlie. To suggest he's coasting seems pretty rich. You can check out his awards and achievements on wikipedia. You don't get to that level if you're half arsed and in second gear. He's a jet, and we're lucky to have him. 17 other clubs would crawl over broken glass and offer him a king's ransom if they could.

Watching the replay (on mute)
The teamwork and cohesion is next level. As such, nobody needs to be a hero. As repetitive as Vossy's been, they just need to play their role using our brand.
A perfect passage in q3
McG tackles Cameron. Ollie smothers the SDK kick and delivers i50. Charlie gets a free in the marking contest and has a shot. As was the trend in q3, he kicked a point. The pressure was unrelenting ?

Geez H gets a couple of very untidy hits in the head in the marking contest ?

Absolutely!
He has arguably one of the hardest jobs in footy and he’s maintained the same output since his return from what many thought were career ending injuries and despite increased opposition attention.
Enjoy his ability, athleticism, opportunism and passion and ignore the bullsh1t about him cruising, not chasing, not tackling and/or being selfish.
He’s in the leadership group for good reason, and it’s not about memberships.

He’s in the leadership group for good reason, and it’s not about memberships. He certainly plays the game as a fwd differently to almost everyone else. I have said that he is lazy but I don't think that's true, he is just extremely smart and opportunistic. The instant he realises he is no chance to mark it for example, he is thinking of the next contest and how he can impact it. He is as good off the ground as he is in the air, his ground level work was on show the other night. He is indeed a very special footballer.

That sums him up perfectly G2C.
The goal that he kicked when he gathered a loose ball in traffic on the 50m arc was outstanding … but more or less routine for Charlie.

The other one, whilst it wasn't a goal, was his one handed gather off the ground running away from goal (we were kicking to the punt road end) with blokes hanging off him. Sublime skills.

Charlie Curnow
"we all know he has no second efforets and refuses to chase. This is not good enough IMO"
I would think that crumbing goals from a guy 6'4" would indicate a fairly strong second effort mentality.
