I agree plus we need more quickness, and Martin isn't quick with injuries.I think I’d rather have Emmett on our list than Martin tbh.
Firstly I don’t think Martin is rated because of on field performance. It’s because he was a high draft pick ten years ago - that’s irrelevant.
Then throw in that our forward pressure is the worst in the league. At least Emmett if he’s player 28-30 on our list provides that.
Then throw in Martin’s history with injuries.
Then throw in the age of both players.
Will admit if we knew the world was ending end of 2025 and we had one year to win a flag Martin would be the better option. He’s a more talented footballer for sure but I think Emmett could still be around in 4-5 years if he’s good enough - if he doesn’t improve and gets delisted that’s okay but Martin is a one year prospect every year with the best case scenario probably getting two years from him.
He is very quick with injuries. Took only 5 mins to do his hammy in his most recent game.Martin isn't quick with injuries.
But that was because that campaigner silvagni manipulated him.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.
It’s sounding as though we are considering him for SSP like Sharp. I don’t have a problem with him on rookie list. As for training the SSP starts from beginning of December so they will be able to get a few weeks of training done before they consider selecting. If ends up like that St Kilda bloke blowing his hammy whist training then we can tell him sorry.Surely if we are looking at Martin it would be for the very last spot on the list and he trains over the summer with other potential candidates and IF he is injury free and performs better than the others we select him in the SSP. Doesn’t that mean he gets a rookie contract?
That’s really the only scenario where I like the idea.
Jack Martin's performance on field is very much rated by those who observe him closely. He came in 6th in Carltoon's B&F year before last.I think I’d rather have Emmett on our list than Martin tbh.

Carlton have a tight cap and Martin asked them to be delistedI suspect when Carlton realised we were cooling on him and would have only got chip for him they decided to cut him. QLD clubs would only take him for free.
I think the people who don't rate Martin are ones who haven't watched him, this would be due to injuries, hard to watch him when he isn't out there.
He is definitely a good player, can take a mark overhead for his size, nice kick, footy smarts.
If he didn't pass the medical then that's fine, don't grab him.
As a swing that only takes up salary, he is perfect for us, make it a games incentivised contract if we must but get him in IMO

Think we'd just rather the picks and cap space. He's a reverse Switkowski.I wonder if anyone’s looking at Owies out of Carlton?
He kicks plenty goals. No contract offer yet - they are dicking him around I reckon
Didn’t they basically give us Jye Amiss for nothing?He has that Carlton stank, too.
I know the Blues love poaching our players, but who have we traded in from Carlton previously?
Yeah don’t worry go_the_dockers is all over it.I wonder if anyone’s looking at Owies out of Carlton?
