Has he? He should have mentioned it at some stage.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Yeah, we're working on his shyness.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Try getting him to speak up for himself.

That's a fair way down the track. We're just working on his tendency to sit on the fence first, you know, one step at a time.

Yeah i did a BT. Not quite as instant as his Boyd thread but hopefully it has the same happy ending.

Re: Operation get Stefan Martin.
Exactly how much did Chef know and when did he know it?

Sam Power must have found a note from JMac in a desk drawer saying "get Stef Martin!"

Hopefully come the end of the season it'll be worth the wait.

Re: Operation get Stefan Martin.
I’m getting a sense that this is the end of the road. Pulled up sore from very limited minutes on the weekend. More training sessions can’t substitute for playing games and miraculously pulling up really well.
By the end of the EF, Stef will have played a total of just 609 minutes of the possible 2,800+ minutes across our 23 games this season. Or having played only about 21.75% of our season.

He’s done.
I will never see #16 the same!!

Time to retire gracefully. Stop the conversation around him playing or not. It’s easier to sell to the hardcore footyheads like us about Young when we out for the year Bruce & Stef.
Maybe this year, recruit a younger healthier ruckman.

Re: Operation get Stefan Martin.
Looked like a masterstroke 6 weeks in when we were playing some of our best footy ever under Bevo.
Is it too much to suggest that Stef going down has cost us a flag?
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

A death by a few cuts if not a million. His is one.

Putting our fortunes in a 34yo with a shot body was perhaps not the best idea. The question I really want answered is if we’ve learned the lesson for this trade period.

I guess at least it was some progress in getting we wanted a ruck. English played his career best footy alongside him and as much as we don't think Sweet is rated by Bevo, he has progressed.
Stef coming in has been good I think. Just not having another ruck is the killer.
