It’s incredible the variety of roles he is filling.

Defensive winger, back up ruck, inside mid. Basically our Mark Blicavs but a thousand times better.

All that and hints of class, with truck loads of hardness.

I gave the 3 to Cotchy,

Largely because Marlion has never exceeded my expectations.

I hope Shane is in the kitchen, cooking Dusty some iggs

I'll say this easy, you've stuck fat with Marlion and you've been proven right. The guy can play anywhere.

I had the advantage of watching the entire middle portion of his AFL career live.

if you think Marlion looks good on the wireless, hes twice as good in real.

As hard as a cats head, I hope he spends more time in the guts. Chimp will be a big loss when he retires, Marlion will be the perfect replacement.

Floats like a butterfly hits like a rhino

I was just having a conversation with a few mates about our favourite part of the ground to watch a game of footy.

I said I like the wing on the fence,

cause I enjoying hearing ribs crack when Marlion hits them

If it’s bad enough that they have to face Nankervis they then get hit up by Marlion.

How good is it?!

I think we'll be adding Mansell to that list very shortly.

Hard, fair players that will bury you if given the opportunity.

Not a good look when he keeps dropping overhead marks as if expecting contact. Get an actual ruckman in there, please

He’s not a ruckman FFS His position is wing or in the centre
Need to play a second ruck to give Nank a break

Had a Barry. But he’s otherwise had a very good season and back him to bounce back hard next week.

It’s not fair to ask him to play second ruck. Blicavs destroyed him in the 3rd quarter.

Dimma needs to sort this out.

Grigg was coaching against him, could that have been a factor in his reduced impact in the ruck?

Marlion in the ruck only works for the right match up. Last night was not it. Neither was it against Melbourne.
CCJ not being played is criminal.
