How's he going now though?

Dont expect any acknowledgement, old mate cant (or refuses to) join the dots.

Good because he's not playing in the backline.

 

[Skipper_]

After the bye you can almost guarantee he will go back to his usual role (maybe slightly increased time fwd) and the backline will be as following:

B: Ridley - McKay - McGrath
HB: Roberts - Reid - Redman
I/C: Johnson

You're the one who won't respond to my post. How many times has he been named at half back since we all wEnt QuiEt?

Oh look merrett was named in the guts for the blues game, that must mean he definitely spent the whole game there . Why has everyone been discussing his move to the backline for the last three days????

So what am I missing about Martin? Has his role not changed from HB since a few weeks ago? Just as you said? Spell it out for me brother.

Martin started the Carlton game in the backline, from his heat maps it looks like as backline injuries have mounted he's been back there a bit more with a few CBAs thrown in. Brisbane he covered Durham's midfield CBAs once Durham hurt his ankle.

I am no longer indefatigable on him. He is done. time to move on, as hard as it might be

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

It took him longer than most, but he has the Essington disease now. No longer feel confident that a Merrett disposal is actually gonna hit a target and I've felt that way for about 5 weeks now.

 

[Beerfish]

He's clearly carrying something.. probably a back from carrying the team for so long.

He’s been good for long enough to not have essington disease, or else he would’ve caught it years ago.

Not a bad touch to start the 2nd half

he’s an idiot- he should be living on several acres half way between melbourne and Geelong with an option for farmland that has just recently been rezoned to residential, with his wife working as a buyer for Cotton On

 

[Howard Moon]

Is it me or is he a bad handballer?

 

[dank420_]

It’s possible he’s just horribly out of touch.

 

[bomberlegend2007]

He is injured. Been playing through it for weeks.

 

[Lore]

He always said he didn't care about individual accolades, so I guess it won't hurt too much

 

[naraku]

Has a bad back now. He's carried us in too many games for too long.

 

[Goat Hird]

Even in this form, he is still better than anyone on this list.

nah, he's a liability, and his decision making has always been shit. I mean he chose to sign three contract extensions with us?

[quotemokc]

Just because we are desperate for some composure in the back line doesn't mean he is suddenly going to fix it just because of who he is.

Like Martin his best work is forward of centre.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Come on Zach, please…

 

[I Remember Bluey]

Love "My Boy" but

Played like a broken man tonight

 

[Chucks]

We trying to make him request a trade? What's with all this backline/wing nonsense!
