Just watching Cornes baiting Caro, the background footage showed Marlion in defense.
Poor buggers best position is on the wing and he is used as a stopgap all over the ground.

We are just stretched too thin atm

Another that has gone backwards this season. Being played as a forward ward didn't help inho but he seems to have lost all confidence since his troubles with the law.

He can go. Won’t serve any benefit staying on the list

I would be happy to never see him again at punt road.

He should retire with Cotch.

Should have been dropped 6 weeks ago.  This is the reason we need a new coach

Agree on surface. But this is what happens when a player is stuffed around with the position they play. He's not a fwd.
Go Tigers!

Why isn’t he in the team photo from today around the 3 cups?

He was there (right side of Jack in the photo below at the back near Maurice and Bolton). The angle of some of the photos have Marlion obscured by Floss just in front of him.

I hope it's the last photo I see of him on the mcg. His time has come and come quick.

He is bordering on a VFL player, and even that is a stretch.

I don't know how much is him and how much is the team.

Playing him forward has been a disaster. Was going well on the wing.

Unsure if his personal stuff is impacting him but I know the positional stuff is.

I've seen enough Andy. Time for him to go. Was he really dominating on the wing? I think he was playing better than now sure, but that's coming off a very low base.

If we are serious cull him. Banks to take that wing.

He was much better on the wing. Other than the clutch goal against the giants, him as a fwd just hasn’t been it. He will be 32 at the start of next season, kmac will be 30 and both are just on rolling 1 year contracts. We have a couple of cubs that look suited to a wing role so I agree they should both start being phased out next year.

Couple of points

He is contracted for next year, he hit a trigger so he has a contract. So based on that and depending on what happens with the legal mess he finds himself in he will be there next year

He hasn't been the same player since he got arrested and subsequently charged after the Eagles game

He isn't a forward but based on what we got told in a the pre-match yesterday up until yesterday he's been playing his role as a forward that they want him to play.

I don't think he should play next week based solely on form.

I agree , with all that and that players are usually carry injuries it doesn’t surprise me he has lost some form.
