    Re: Cometh the hour, cometh the Stef...

    We've introduced Dunks, Treloar and Vandermeer underdone after very long lay-offs and that hasn't been too successful. I'm really worried that adding an underdone Martin is just exacerbating that problem.
    I think we should be trying to find other ways to mitigate our opposition centre clearance scoring issues...like getting our mids to put some time into a defensive posture on occasions when we're not on top.

        Totally agree with your first paragraph. I have been saying this for a while and even Bevo said this before we played the West Coke about their side having too many underdone players in the team.

        Maybe we have been forced into it because Footscray has had so many games cancelled.

            I actually hope you're right because it means our form slump has been due to bringing players back early so they find their feet in time for finals

                    Sounds like Stef got through the scratch match well.

                    Last game against out likely opponents Essendon we got murdered in the ruck, 2MP played the game of his life and they still only just scraped over the line.

                    To me, a Young for Martin swap is an easy decision. Keep English forward - Esendon's defenders are not in Port's class.

                        Scratch match wrap: Stefan Martin’s timely return to form amid Bulldogs’ selection conundrum

                        Scratch match wrap: Dogs star’s timely return to form; No.1 pick’s strong response to snubbing


                        Stefan Martin put his hand up for selection with an impressive display in the Western Bulldogs’ scratch match against Sydney on Saturday morning.
                        The Whitten Oval match – which consisted of eight, 12-minute quarters – had several players that will push for senior selection in the first week of finals.
                        Martin’s presence in the ruck, where he swapped with Jordon Sweet, was significant, but it remains to be seen whether he did enough to force his way back into Luke Beveridge’s best team.

                            Would you swing Young to the backline? I think he would be better than a Cordy

                                        100% but it won’t happen.
                                        Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
