This guy is a machine!! I really hope he doesn't get another knock to the face.
ROFLcopter just went from being tolerable clown to insufferable dickhead in one tweet.

Ferguson back too, hopefully Martin doesn't start niggling him ;)
Martin may become the new Johnathon Brown of the AFL. Damaged goods.
People taking delight in someone's injury are damaged as well.
No delight what so ever. Medically I would think it totally irresponsible, as was Browns every comebacks. It's bone, that takes a long time to heal. Simple really.

rather large difference between risking re-breaking a bone, and risking permanent brain damage I'd say.

Anyone know if the side he had a plate inserted recently is the same side he got smashed by Conklin

great to have him back, just hope they aren't rushing it

No medical evidence to back this up, just speculating, but it seemed the break was in a different spot, just judging from the vision. He was clearly uncomfortable and having it checked, but there was no obvious external signs.
As for being risky, I'm not so sure. I imagine its Titanium, I imagine its possible that it could be stronger than before?
And whilst there is a huge "ouch" factor to a broken jaw, its possibly not as bad as an injury to a weight bearing part of the body.
Probably going to need ear-plugs when he is introduced. Easily the most loved player Perth has seen for a long time.
The concussion factor alone is certainly severe and concerning that they will bring him back so soon.

Martin= one of the most loved players the NBL has seen for a long time.
Dazz= one of the biggest wankers the internet has seen in a long time.

Martin or no Martin, if the 36ers dont defend, then they won win anything.
This 36ers team might be the worst defensive team i think i have ever seen.
