Traded Stefan Martin (2012-2020)

[captainrich]

can we read anything into this?

 

[dlanod]

Maybe Martin is sick of Vossy's joke where he'll walk up pretending to want to shake your hand, but at the last minute use it to smooth his hair down instead.

 

[jackess]

I thought it looked Vossy was trying to cop a feel.

 

[Grimreepah]

I suspect it was an instructive gesture rather than an attempt to shake his hand.

 

[POBT]

Just for completeness, that footage was discussion on the round 3 review thread and the consensus was that Voss was probably talking to Stef about his injured ankle. It certainly doesn't look like a snub to me.

What am I looking for?

 

[Bobby Beecroft]

Very little.

Thought so. Wasted 8 seconds of viewing time.

You sound like my missus.

You sound like my missus.

Viewing time?

 

[Cousin Jed]

Can we trade him back?

 

[jackess]

Thought he hadn't been too bad up to today's game.

 

[jackess]

NEKMINIT. Nice handball and mark.

 

[Grimreepah]

It seems to me that when our midfield is under immense pressure they become Brown-centric. That makes it tough for Martin, but if he can't get in the game then we're better off with someone else in the team.

 

[Crimso]

If the mids are Brown-centric, the best way to get in the game is run towards where Brown is running & take his space, creating another problem & more calls to drop him for dumb footy. Maybe the mid should become less Brown nosed & bring Martin into the game?

Stefan Martin limps into wounded Lions' den

BRISBANE has been rocked by another serious injury, with ruckman Stefan Martin set to miss six weeks with an ankle problem. The 26-year-old had already been ruled out of today's must-win clash with his former club Melbourne.

But Lions medical staff yesterday confirmed Martin will go under the knife this week. Martin was making a decent fist of the forward/back-up ruck role at the Lions but the ankle injury had hampered his movement in the past couple of weeks and it had showed no signs of improvement.

Certainly opens the door for an extended run for either Billy Longer or Jordon Lisle or a longshot in Sam Michael.

Our rotten luck of longer term injuries continues...

Stef's injury and conmtinued selection discussion moved here.

 

[Dylan12]

Versatile tall Stefan Martin will also take his first steps this week towards recovery from an ankle injury.

Martin is expected to train with the main group on Friday and should be available for selection to play the Dockers in round 12.

Russell Robertson:

Stef Martin – there are some things I could say there that I probably won't say."

Russell Robertson:

What a flog. Why is Russell Robertson relevant?

The Lions approach this Sunday’s match against premiership favourites Hawthorn in Tasmania with only three names on their injury list – Stephen Wrigley (knee), Claye Beams (knee) and Stefan Martin (ankle).

That list could be trimmed further, with Martin a chance to play his first match in two months with the Lions Reserves on Friday night in Sydney.

“Stef’s going along pretty well. He trained this morning with the rehab group and is tracking along for this week,” Brett Burton told LIONS TV as part of the Bupa Recovery Report.

The Lions could also be bolstered by Stefan Martin, who was close to resuming with the Reserves in Sydney last Friday.

“Stef didn’t quite get through our final training session last week, so we decided that he shouldn’t fly to Sydney,” Harding said.

“He trained very well this week, and has assured me he’s ready to go.”

 

[Dylan12]

Stefan Martin, meanwhile, has suffered a minor setback in his return from a serious ankle injury, after tweaking his hamstring late last week.

Martin was expected to play his first match in almost three months with the Lions Reserves on Saturday, but will instead have to wait at least another two weeks.

“He’s had a few fits and starts with his ankle. When you’re out for that period of time you have to get used to the load,” Physical Performance Manager Brett Burton told LIONS TV as part of the Bupa Recovery Report.

 

[Dylan12]

Melbourne recruit Stefan Martin, who has not played since badly damaging his ankle in round four, appears on target to resume in the reserves early next month.

 

[POBT]

Early next month? 5 senior games to go after 1 August. Given he will have missed half the season, it is hard to see him getting back into the seniors this year.
