Hudson retired so Martin to improve average to 85-90?

Might be worth a look in the forward line. With R/F DPP he would make a nice link with Joey Daniher as well.

I know it doesn't sound like the best source but this fb page is very reliable, doesn't report bullshower rumours:

yeah, it's only on fb atm... generally, that page is pretty good. Makes sense as well, he's what 34 next year, and they have leuen, longer and now martin to cover.

Do not get it until you are like 16. There are things you don't know that you don't want to see :)

[Capper]

Hudson hasnt retired yet and wont until after next year. Hudson wont play much net year unless Burger isnt fully recovered. He is there for cover until Longer can bulk up and play better in the 1s.

Regarding Martin, i dont think he is guaranteed a starting spot is he?? Also i thought that he would be a R/B not a R/F??

Not for me next year as unless he plays in the ruck he wont score well

[TeeJay]

So the rliable fb page is not so reliable?

[Adamant]

He averaged 86 without the injury-affected 23...but that was only over 6 games...
I'll keep him on the radar if he gets R/F DPP, but even then its unlikely I'll pick him.

I personally see Martin fighting it out with Lisle for our FF/Ruck role in our team. Could really go either way IMO depends on their Preseason, also Longer had a pretty big preseason last year an if he managed the same again he could push for selection in the same role throughout the year.

For the type of cash we need to pay for him the job security isn't there. More a fringe/depth player

[strikes91]

martin will start, he'll take the mitch clark role

[Justin Bieber]

No for him. But I actually asked the page and they said Robb Kerr announced during trade period.

Yes it is reliable. 8) Reported the retirment early and it has now been confirmed by AFL.com.
