Too much focus on vanity and lifestyle.
Not enough on getting fit enough to play two halves
it's true.
Had he been elite fit he would have won the game on his own
in theory. But how many players do you see get 19 possessions and 4 goals in a half and then go on to get 38 possessions and 8 goals by full time? Not even Ablett, Pendlebury, or Swan could've singlehandedly won us the match given the way the rest of the team packed up their bags and left after half time.
It was unfortunate Martin tapered off but that's where you would hope the other midfielders clamp down on the opposition. He single handedly pretty much set up out lead. I hold no grudge against him for the effort he put in.
May I suggest we play a game where we don't bag out the only player who played
well great last night?
