Player Watch Pick #16 (2016) - Todd Marshall

[bomberclifford]

The Hawthorn players targeted him quite directly when he was laying on the ground after contests. Looked like they were trying to unsettle him.

Yeah saw it quite clearly in the southwest pocket. What a bunch of campaigners.

 

[Lefti93]

His little lead opening space for a leading lane for Georgiades showing his forward craft. Well highlighted by Richo as well, he understands.

Amon of all people, Butters literally laughed in his face after it.

Amon of all people, Butters literally laughed in his face after it.

Amon was grounding Frankie's head into the turf in a prolonged tackle at one point as well, 5 minutes at Hawthorn and he thinks he's a 'good bloke' he's as soft as buggery so laughable.

He was apparently saying while doing it "don't you know who I am, I used to play for Port Power"

 

[Enviable Tradition]

He looked shaken up from a couple of tackles and strong contests. The Hawthorn players targeted him quite directly when he was laying on the ground after contests. Looked like they were trying to unsettle him. Thought he was very brave and tough early but looked bloody vulnerable.

I noticed this too.

No doubt directed by good sport Mitchell

Its time to hang them up unfortunately

 

[TeeKray]

Well that just made selection easier.

IN - Burton, Dixon
OUT - Lorenz, Marshall

Lock it in.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Officially in protocols now.

He needs to retire. That's 2 fairly innocuous knocks in a row. He's absolutely best 22 but you can't play footy if you get concussed that easily, it's not worth it.

 

[jackag24]

I was watching at the pub so i didn't quite realise Todd has been subbed out until now. Poor bloke. It's getting into McCartin territory now

I thought he was playing reasonably well up until that point too, kicked a goal and had some nice involvement in the play

 

[Adz2332]

Feel sorry for the guy. Hope he recovers well

 

[JimmyBC]

Well that just made selection easier.

IN - Burton, Dixon
OUT - Lorenz, Marshall

Lock it in.

Those ins are fukcing horrible

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Well that just made selection easier.

IN - Burton, Dixon
OUT - Lorenz, Marshall

Lock it in.

In McEntee
Out F Evans

Not even ironically

 

[all seeing eye]

Lukousis absolute priority know. Marshall has to retire for his long term future.

 

[TeeKray]

This is starting to move into medical negligence territory. We keep putting him out there and he keeps getting minor head knocks that result in concussions. I'm no expert but it feels plain as day to me that this is exactly the type of thing that will be pointed to in a class action to show that the AFL and clubs didn't take concussion seriously enough.

 

[PowerLil]

Terrible for Todd.

in 2005 and trade him for 2 x 1st round picks to North.

Unfortunately its just about all over for Todd.

 

[gbear]

Really sad for Todd, but for his own health and well being he needs to retire.

 

[Doctor Feel]

A sad end for a guy with so much sadness in his life. Genuinely awful.

 

[philthy05]

Horrible for him and the club if his career ends but has to do the right thing for his long term health.

 

[PowerLil]

Was there a specific incident? I didn't see anything at the ground. Just watching the replay now, beginning of the 2nd.

It was the 3rd, but might have been the 1st as it was in front of me in 525, maybe 10m in front of the goal square, when Amon tackled/pushed him in a pack and he hit his head against other players and I reckon the ground.

 

[dirty2]

Not good news for Marshall.

Thanks REH.
Edit: Halfway through the 2nd Marshall went down the rooms for an assessment. Commentators queried whether it was for a concussion test.

Crows have offered an 8 year contract
