Game 50 this week!

thanks eth-dog

 

[Shane Hird]

Starting to look like a genuine league player. All credit to him.

Having the coach who is a champion back man has helped him me thinks.

Feels like he's been around longer for some reason.

still looks like a young draftee haha

Is he out of contract? will the Blues have a sniff considering his uncle played for Carlton and is a board member.

"The Fetus" "Look at those quads, my 4 year old has bigger quads than you", said Adam Cooney in his recent BTV upload:

that nickname is sticking for mine

 

[Old Campaigner]

Saw that, probably a decent incentive to hit the gym over summer to try and earn a new nickname

If Kelly is keeping him out next year. I don't want Kelly.

 

[DERO]

"The fetus". LOL. He has had a rank shoulder I believe but he should still be able hit the Squat rack.

I think it'd be a good thing - as long as Marty stays in form, he'll stay in.

Our young guys need to earn their games (which Marty is currently doing).

Not knowing who to pick out of in form players at match selection is the best problem a footy club can have for mine.

 

[Paul_Barnard]

Fair play to Marty, i thought he had stagnated but he finished off the season really, really well.

 

[RearNaked]

dunno why but im a big fan of the fetus

 

[Vindicater]

He will be best 22 next year.

His intercept marking is a major strength.

 

[Whispering_Jack]

Never lost faith.

 

[Donakebab]

Please add the nickname to the title, "The Fetus" must become a thing.

Was gonna come on here and ask if anybody thought he played like Andrew Mackie. Looks like I was beaten to the punch.

I don't reckon he does

 

[eDPS]

Started the year at 326 in the AFL Player Rankings and now sits at 251 so he is making steady progress!

 

[yaco55]

Certain that Gleeson is already contracted for 2017.

Needs a huge pre season. Poor again last few games and just cant compete physically.

With Baguley back, Mckenna coming on may find himself out of the 22.

Bot sure if he can put on enough weight without losing any more pace. Struggles to stay with players.
