Vossy back in town to coach the Suns?
I'd like to think that it's the fact that we are into the second season of our new fitness team they have had their way and made our bodies more resilient than under Burton. I don't think it's just luck, we just got too used to soft tissue problems. Plus we are still winning games in the back half of the season where even if we don't have a long injury list we are clearly playing with walking wounded. I'm not sure how much worse we would have been with more injuries because we seem to have continuity of expectations between reserves and the seniors so we have survived pretty well with rotations of the squad.
Oops, missed the obvious oneBell
Do you hate ruckmen, or do you just not really understand how the position works? Martin was our best contested ball winning mid in the first half, this was his best game in quite a while.
You got me. It's just this irrational thing I have about blokes over 195cm. Just can't help myself. And you're quite correct- I have no understanding of how the position works [sic]. Something to do with clearing the ball out of the centre is my best guess.
And then I get to thinking how good we could be with, say, a Patty Ryder in the ruck.
I don't think Martin has been the quite the same since he got cleaned up by that thug from the GC. That is my opinion, influenced by my irrational hatred no doubt.
Then again, I don't think Lappin was ever quite the same after he collected broken jaw off the ball v Collingwood all those years ago.
And Lappin was born in May 1976! And guess who hit Martin, Steven May! And May is the 5th month! We've won 5 games this year! 5 is how old Stefan Martin was when Bruce Springsteen released his 10th studio album; Human Touch in 1992. And May was born in 1992, and is a human, who touched Martin! And 10 is double 5, and human touch was a double album! And do you know what's double 10?? 20! Stefan Martin has played 20 games this year!!!!
But here's the kicker. Steven May knocked out Stefan Martin in a Q-Clash. Q stands for Queensland. And who is Queensland's Springsteen? That's right it's Bernard Fanning. 20 is the number of times Bernard Fanning made it into aria top 40 charts. 40 is double 20, and the charts are a ranking. And do you know what else is a ranking, the AFL official player ratings! And the AFL official player ratings have Stefan Martin ranked as the 62nd best player in the AFL, Ryder doesn't make the top 100.

Is it just me or is Fagan never looking happy?
Crack a smile you glorious bastard!
Just finished replay, Martin was outstanding. Rolled up his sleeves and made stuff happen.

Really like the AFL Player Ratings... Except that they have far too heavy a penalty against players who miss games.And Lappin was born in May 1976! And guess who hit Martin, Steven May!

And against players who weren't born in years with an obscure but compelling musical connection, apparentlyReally like the AFL Player Ratings... Except that they have far too heavy a penalty against players who miss games.
Yeah that was painful to listen to. Not to mention the clubs involved have been coached by six different coaches during that timeHamilton's question about turning previous matchups into scraps is one of the dumbest I've ever heard at a press conference.
Agree with overall a good team effort. Martin was outstanding along with Beams.Very good team effort and some individual efforts. Thinking Hipwood might need a refresher in the 2s
Wasn't a bad 50 metre pass to Lester in the pocket.Agree with overall a good team effort. Martin was outstanding along with Beams.
Disagree with Hipwood needing a "refresher" in the 2's...... How is that going to be positive with 2 games remaining for the year? Also think his last 2 games were solid without having 1 or 2 spectacular goals which maybe we expect him to do every week. He's a certainty to play in the 1's this week and the last one providing he's fit. Fascinating to hear the crowd roar louder than normal every time he has the ball in his hands.
Would like Jack Martin at the Lions. With some luck could have kicked five or six goals.
