Player Watch Pick #16 (2016) - Todd Marshall

[HHHAMMERtime]

Everyone else in the AFL community: key forwards take time to develop. They just need continuity and games under their belt to build confidence.

PAFC: Lets screw around Todd Marshall as much as possible.

Poor Todd. Tough week for him. He obviously appreciates the support he is given.

Didnt watch the sanfl game on the weekend is he ready for a call up? Wouldn't mind seeing what Marshall can do now that Dixon is back.

If he's a 'tall small' then replace S. Gray with Marshall. He can cover as much ground and he'll draw a tall away from Dixon. Tall small >>> small tall.

Nah not yet. Hoff and Howard should be back in and Ladhams is deffs ahead of him too.

Close if he can do the lead up high half forward like Tom Lynch for the Crows he’ll be useful

Do we really lose anything by picking Todd instead of the hobbit?

Someone to not make the distance 35m out from goal?

Ken is wrecking this fine young prospect

Wait 'til next year when Paddy and Hoff are another year older and more crucially so is Todd.
If I was running the show i'd have given Todd between 4-6 games unconditional. At pick16? Ken once said we've made a
significant investment in Todd so let's see what happens down the track. If/when finals are out of the Q then those
unconditional games might start this year.

Poll is up #VoteMarshall (Or should I say Tod (sic))

Was that his best game for the club?

Should he sneak a rising star nomination? (Is he still eligible?)

Looks more assured. More confident. I wonder what has changed? My feeling is that he thrives on having Dixon up there with him and the inclusion of a resting ruck sees him taking the third best defender.

Was that his best game for the club?

Nah. Not even his best game for the club against the Swans, he was better against them last year. Was definitely good though.

Should he sneak a rising star nomination? (Is he still eligible?)

He is still eligible, but if any Port player is getting a nom this week it's Ladhams.

Looks more assured. More confident. I wonder what has changed? My feeling is that he thrives on having Dixon up there with him and the inclusion of a resting ruck sees him taking the third best defender.

Don't need to answer this one, your second sentence answers it as well as I ever could.

 

[Marmozet]

He's changing jumper numbers next year.

My guess is it'll be #4 because he was close mates with Paddy Ryder.

Hope so... dont like #13

Hope so... dont like #13

But 4 in China

If he takes 14 he only has to move into the locker next door.

 

[dirty2]

Rockliff should let Marshall have #11

 

[Onward To Victory]

I wonder if it is time for J-Mac's number to be un-retired? At the time of announcing the club's plan for commemorating him, they said that they would issue the number in future to another player who epitomised him. Maybe Todd is a good fit.

 

[RossFC]

I reckon it will be 4 because of Paddy.

 

[Fivepots]

Soft/Vanilla, scared of a contest, will not make it at AFL level, trade

 

[EskimoPAFC]

First response on Twitter is #1 lol

I mean... Yeah I'd rather have him than the half captains
