*hangs head*Anyone who said this guy wasn't in the pecking order anymore hang your head.
The most perfect case of footy Rd an goldfish syndrome ever.
Kid's a gun
Not a huge loss to be honest. We have excellent coverage down back and we’re probably playing one too many backs anyway.
My biggest issue is that Gleeson covers alot of other people's mistakes.
Francis is going to get demolished with Gleeson not there to consistently cover his ass.
This out is gonna hurt
Our bounce off of half back relies on guys like Marty chopping the ball off in the air
His defensive versatility is important too. The perfect match up for a Liam Ryan for example as he can go with him aerially amd is quick enougb to keep up.
I call BS on this. Gleeson is unaccountable, weak in one on ones and his direct opponent regularly kicks goals on him. If the opposition is smart and they play through his opponent, he'll get exposed. Yes he'll take a nice intercept mark occasionally, disposal is usually good and can make good decisions but we can cover him being out as well as anybody on the field. No great harm done with him not being out there. IMHO.My biggest issue is that Gleeson covers alot of other people's mistakes.

That's because he isn't in the contest. And they probably don't include when he is tossed aside like yesterday's jam.Gleeson is in the top half dozen intercepting small backs in the competition and loses less one on one contests than all our defenders other than Ambrose.
Im relieved for you that you don’t think he’s a big loss

... Seems like you're talking about 2015 Gleeson in 2019.I call BS on this. Gleeson is unaccountable, weak in one on ones and his direct opponent regularly kicks goals on him.

Once? Dickson from WB treated him with contempt. Once Gleeson retires they’ll name a potato after him.This has happened once. Yes it cost us against the Swans but this does not happen any more.
He has won plenty of contests this year as the stats show.
Despite making a successful return this season from a severe ankle injury suffered in the 2018 JLT Community Series, defender Marty Gleeson is booked in for an ankle arthroscopy this week, but it is not expected to interrupt his 2020 pre-season.
OP?Went off early with a sore groin.
He's already scheduled in a meeting with Tom Harley.
