Good selection to bring in Kenny for Mattner

This will give Craigy plenty of flexibility with his Talls, Bock, Kenny and Stevens can all play back or forward

If Marty stays on the list he needs to work very hard on his game during the off-season as he has gone backwards this season IMO and I think he is good enough to make it with a bit of polish

Ditto and ditto mate ... The concerning part is perhaps his indecision, pretty hard to teach that one :(

indecision, skill level on the other side of his body, most importantly "look up when you run"

Marty should be the ideal attacking HB

He may be trade bait?

I'd imagine he would hold appeal for a few clubs

Thats what i think too, i think clubs would certainly entertain the idea of trading for him if he was on the table and at the moment i think he will be. be interesting to see who would be interested in him?

On the game on the weekend, I think Adelaide will get over the line. Any word on Scott Thompson? I know he got picked but is he still in doubt?

Scott Thompson will play

For the Hawks, Bateman will miss, Croad is likely and Sewell 50 / 50

There's no way Mattner would've been in this position if the coaching staff hadn't stuffed him around. He is a wingman not a freaking defender!

NFC

He does not even have tyhe qualities to match it with the best wingmen

The flaws in his game are more exposed if he plays in the midfield

One sided player
Poor decisions
Inability to hit targets
Lack of awareness, which is not helped by the fact he looks down at the ground when he runs

Today's HB flanker plays more of an attcking role, so he should have no issues adapting to the HB line

Finally, if Marty is just going to have one string to his bow (Wingman), then I say, maybe the club should look at trading him.... I am confident Marty is keen to develop his flexibility and to improve his game

He needs improvement in some key area's, once he does this he will have the capability to play numerous roles and add greater value to the team

The good players get there whichever way they have to - Tyson Edwards played in 2 premiership sides as a back pocket

Marty can't hide behind that excuse - it's time to take responsibility and correct the deficiencies in his game holding him back from playing wing at AFL level. Lets be honest, one-position players belong in lower levels than the AFL. If he can't adapt to HBF then time for a reality check .....

I think he can get there personally - but he needs to do it sooner rather than later

But it was more than a victory for Greece. It was a stirring example to free people throughout the world of what a few brave men can accomplish once they refuse to submit to tyranny.
