Confirmed Jack Martin - joins Geelong as a DFA

[Atomboy]

Looking like the Blues version of our Hannebery signing.

 

[Bucking Bronco]

His injury on the weekend contributed to Saad and McKay doing soft tissue injuries in the final quarter due to reduced rotations, and likely ended Carlton's season.

He has been subbed out with injury in 25% of the games he's played in the last 3 years.

Should do the right thing and retire instead of putting other players at risk.

You know players played for many years with a fixed 22 without having a substitute, right? It's not some new thing as a result of Jack Martin.

 

[My Tilly]

Of Carlton’s perennially injured, he’s the most important when fit. If he plays out the rest of the year then I reckon the blues will put an offer to him but it won’t be near as much as an oppo club might put if interested

29 year old who has never shown consistency at the top level is somehow your most important player?
I think you are exaggerating a bit in order to make it sound like an injured player is crucial to your teams trajectory.

Either that or your powers of comprehension are lacking.

 

[Lia]

No value due to injury despite his talent, might suit a club about to contend like Freo for a late pick or DFA but thats about it unless Carlton keep on reduced wages.

Either that or your powers of comprehension are lacking.

Trolls don’t care for facts, nor do they bother with “comprehension”.

Blues had one player on the bench which ment the remainder on the ground carried a much bigger load.

So the sub situation isn't a factor in this case. It was the number of injuries in the same game.

onto your list for 2025 who would it be ?.

 

[go_the_dockers]

If you were forced to put Jack Martin or Orazio Fantasia onto your list for 2025 who would it be ?.

The correct answer is to keep a list spot free right and delist both ??

 

[hawkman]

If you were forced to put Jack Martin or Orazio Fantasia onto your list for 2025 who would it be ?.

Whoever you pick will likely only play 3-4 games

 

[Jeremias]

Martin definitely, he was very good through the back half of last season.

Obviously you couldn’t have any confidence in either of their bodies though.

 

[Trent the flight Steward]

Good player, too old and too injury prone for any club to be interested. He'll stay at Carlton on a base wage

 

[Rich01]

He’s done well fleecing the blues out of almost $60k every time he put on a Carlton jumper at an average of a goal a game.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Would be interested as a DFA or for a late pick.

Minimum $$ contract would be the only way I'd want Freo to look at him now.

 

[Iva Bigun]

Carlton gave up nothing ( took him to the PSD) to get a 5 year younger Martin, can’t expect to get anything for him now as a 29 yo walking soft tissue injury

 

[Cringle]

I’d be surprised if he doesn’t retire.

I don’t even think he gets offered a list spot next year.

Unfortunate waste of talent.

 

[SSSSSS]

Poor guy is an eternal sick note at this point.

I don't think anyone is.

Most expect a delisting.

 

[Vindicater]

What is his record for games in a row and when was it?

 

[Jeremias]

What is his record for games in a row and when was it?

32, FIFA, last weekend.

But seriously…he missed one game over the 2016/2017 seasons as a Sun.

At Carlton I think his record is 10, a few years back. Though he played the bulk of the back end of last season and was very good.

Much the same as Tom Lynch

Jack Martin won two flags with the blues???

Touch a nerve

Touch a nerve

Not at all. Lynch has provided much happiness to Richmond supporters.
