Player Watch #27: Marty Hore – officially returning to the Dees

[TheBoss]

I can't recall if I enjoyed watching Hore play during his previous tenure. He is seriously forgettable.

Kudos to him for making it back to the AFL.

 

[PerfectFooty]

I remember this goal, more so than tmac fumbling it into the post

 

[CTHORANGE]

Love how Hunt was involved in three last second victories for us. 2019 Gold Coast game above he first assists the Hore goal , then he breaks open a pack so the ball could be kicked to McDonald. 2022 Carlton game he runs and kicked it long for Pickett to steal it. 2017 West Coast game he brought the ball to ground for Tom Mcdonald

to kick the winner. Legend.

 

[Scythe94]

Easily as mobile as Salem. Get him in, even if May/Tommo/Lever are playing. Having another interceptor down there (with good footskills) would be excellent.

(Video if you slide across)

 

[stEdy]

Omac and Hore combo at Willy - unstoppable

 

[Demon Attack]

Could be handy and costs nothing. Agree with a few that the absolute dream scenario is he boots Salem out of the team. Or at least gives him a wake up call to get back to his best.

 

[Tandy]

Are the people who delisted him the same ones who have bought him back? Has his game changed since he was last on the list? Seems odd but happy for him, always liked him.

I think he was a tad unlucky to get de-listed in the first place, he just had some bad luck with injuries. I haven't followed his vfl career but my understanding is that he's been one of the best players, definitely worth a second crack. Nothing odd about the situation imo.

 

[PerfectFooty]

I think we always rated him has depth. He goes okay at AFL level and is elite in VFL. Just through injuries he was limited in games he could play. It's worth persisting with injured players to a degree, but i think both parties knew it wasn't exactly ideal to have him struggling on an AFL list. Good on him though going back to the VFL and getting himself right, now it is the time where both parties want to give it another crack.

I don't find it odd at all

As good as I hoped he'd be today. Absolutely best 22 even when Bowser is back.

It looked like his vfl form, by that I mean he looks really comfortable at afl level.

 

[Dancing Potato]

Reliable as ever and showed why he should always be best 22.

 

[dazzledavey36]

Best 22 for me.

 

[Young Redleg]

Not at all surprised by his performance today. He was one of our few bright spots in 2019.

 

[Lord Nev]

Even in the prematch player intro video where they're all trying to make tough faces Marty had a huge smile. You gotta love the bloke.

 

[booshboy]

Looks like a bloke you'd love to crush 25 cans in a garage with.

 

[Daemon]

Didn't see the game today but so happy to hear Hore went well.

 

[Deelighted]

Seemed calm and confident. Bit unlucky to give away a holding free in front of goal (they generally pay them though) and was otherwise solid. Happy to have him back.

 

[stEdy]

Another defender who can mark and reads the play super well. He's not the most athletically gifted but the guy is super solid. Good story!

 

[schmuttt]

Think he'll be the new fan favourite defender much like Hibbo was. Crazy we ever cut him honestly.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Looks better in 27 than he did 34.

 

[Headless]

Pleasing return.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

 

[Scythe94]

Not to be dramatic, but I would die for this man
