But with Air, ground, being dangerous, skill, toughness, two legs, two arms and ahead... That's all you need.

Just read the Jack Martin article:

Martin, 29, joined the Blues ahead of the 2020 season on a lucrative five-year deal but only managed 54 games in that time, including just three games this year.

If we pick him up we have rocks in our head.

Or we get him fit and gain a gun on chips

Then we look like geniuses

There's no harm in picking him up free, literally no downsides if we pay nothing.

Peel to go b2b with Martin.
 
List spot and salary?

Will cost stuff all salary wise.
List spot? Mate there’s always 10 on a list that won’t amount to much.
He’s a free hit.
Can everyone stop worrying about a spot on our list or think we’ll pay him big dollars.
At his best he’ll improve our front half. If he’s injured all year then boo hoo.

There’s guys like Delean and Simpson who combine for 8 touches in WAFL games.

Martin is the definition of a free roll gamble.

The thing is Carlton are so awful at handing soft tissue concerns that it's hard to tell how much of this is attributable to Carlton being stupid and how much to Jack Martin being cooked. I assume there's ways to ascertain how cooked long-term a player's soft tissues are, which was probably the purpose of the medical in the first place.

The bigger concern is even if it does work out, he kinda gives stuff we already have while being weak in areas we need more of (a problem that go_the_dockers in particular accurately stresses on). He's very good overhead and quite silky. We've got enough guys who can take a mark, though the skills obviously help. We need crumbing and pressure, and Jack Martin doesn't help those areas.

If we're lining up next season with the 3 talls and Darcy (Jackson more midfield time hopefully), Sturt, Freddy and Martin with Bolton rotating fwd a fair amount, it's an offensively potent group. But once teams withstand the initial entry, they'll be waltzing it out. Granted, Sturt has improved in those areas, so next season hopefully improved competition means we can demand Freddy improves in those areas too.

This guy isn’t going to be coming on rookie wages. It’ll be multi year $400k minimum. Guy is a mercenary. Just look at how he got to Carlton.

Won’t be $400. Might be 2 years.

I’d hope it’s 1 with a trigger for a 2nd and is heavily games played based.

Give him $150k and $7.5k per game.

Or a sliding scale with greater payments for more matches played.

No way we just give him $350k to sit on sidelines. We’re stupid but not stoopid.

Not sure it'll be that straight forward, reckon we are looking at 300k then heavily incentivised on games, in which case he will be worth it when he plays games
