Does Martin have a big enough engine to be a DT elite?

Im sticking Fat but Im expecting big things this year and ill be disappointed if he doesnt regularly bring home 100+ . A couple of bad games early might make him a more unique pick. Im a little nervous.
More unique pick? Whaaaa? :o

@ 37.7% 0.2% of people have actually picked him up on the back of a ordinary game.

"More Unique" what do you classify as unique. And for the record everybody loves to rave on about uniqueness but they aint going to get you over the line each week, points do and consistency do. You pick a good cause you think his gonna smash it not cause 2% of people have picked him.

Are you backing me up or bagging me? ???

owenbond007 · April 04, 2012, 06:53:30 PM

backing ya with some good old numbers :)

Does he have a big enough tank - YES (some development to do but goes fwd and boots a goal or two so handy if he rests FWD anyway)

Can he handle a tag - NO (talking of numbers - 26 disposals at 1/4 time v cats nab. taylor goes to him for rest of game and he only gets 9 more in 3 full quarters of footy - but he did sneek fwd and kick 2 goals) and not many taggers do as good a job as taylor does.

Do I have him - YES ( looking for 90+ average out of him - do you think there will be 6 fwds to average 100+ if not there is a place on the field all season for martin even at an average of low to mid 90's he will have been a successful pick similar to what we want from sidebottom ?)

Cw he had 26 touches at quarter time? ??? Or did I read wrong :-X

owenbond007 · April 04, 2012, 07:11:29 PM

He got 97pts from 72% game time. Thats a great stat. He only had 23 possies for the whole game though.

Holz · April 04, 2012, 08:36:11 PM

he did play 89% gametime, thats is more than all the other Richmond mids and more than Swan, Pendles, Judd, Murphy etc... First game back he is not an elite runner but give him a few more pre seasons. First game back at nearly 90% TOG thats not a bad effort.

A 79 on Carrots is a fine score for a young bloke.

JBs-Hawks · April 05, 2012, 01:21:59 AM

Carrots went to Cochin in the 2nd quarter

owenbond007 · April 05, 2012, 02:50:01 AM

He went across a few - 79 on carreots wtf who would man him up his kicking effiency must be one of the worst in afl history. If he was elite he would be tracked heavily not vis versa.
