Not sure Martin is inside our best 6 but agree he is important. The current crop of players out have no bearing on whether Marra plays or not.

Phew-Naughty cleared off serious rib or internal injuries. Makes the loss that little bit more palatable.
Hopefully Martin ok for Weagles. Anyone heard anything about how serious his shoulder injury is?
Hopefully right to goQuote:
The 21-year-old was substituted out of Friday night’s game against Geelong at GMHBA Stadium at half time, after suffering a suspected rib injury in an incident seconds before the major break.Naughton was sent for scans following the game, which have cleared him of any serious rib injury or internal damage.
He will be monitored this week before determining his availability to face the West Coast Eagles next Sunday.
Just looking at the stat's they put up on The First Crack.
When Dunks & Treloar were in the side we were number 1 for clearances and contested ball. That dipped to 7th after we lost Dunks. Since we lost Treloar it's dipped to 16th in comp.
Let's hope these guys are back sooner rather than later.
It's really hurting us. It's taking away our main strength.
Lies, Damned lies and statistics.
I'd love to know if we've abandoned our 6-man forward structure since losing Treloar because it seems we have. Any team can even up stats by pushing a high-forward up to the contest, which we know Bevo likes to do. That means you get killed on the rebound if the hack kick out of the stoppage is to an opposition out-number.
To lose a genuine stoppage player you can cover it, but it makes other parts of the ground weaker.
