Anyone have this guy? 95 last week, 118 this week. Two good scores in two tough games.
Looked really good out there tonight. Looking like a great unique pick-up.

Might be out for a few weeks with his bump on Selwood today.

umpire was yelling that it was an accident and whiteys response was pretty passive

Don't know if you saw the thread during the week where I was trying to convince myself and others that he was a steal. Not only have his scores been great but his performances have been really impressive too. No question he has cemented a place now, even with Hodge and Shiels to return.

Wish I was stupid enough to downgrade Shaw and pick him up because he looks set for a big year.

Well he's a forward listed in DT, so I'm not sure whether he'd be better than someone like Sidebottom in the long run

I was talking about downgrading Shaw to a rook and then Dickson or Hall to Whitecross. I should have made that clearer. :-[

But your absolutely right about Sidebottom...probably the best swap if anyone was thinking about going with him.

Alka

Yeah, would be tough to fit him into my side currently too, but wanted to see if anyone was clever enough to start with him!
If anyone had Martin they might consider him :P

Will keep him on the radar for sure. Like you say, it wasn't just his DT score, I was just really impressed with how he looked in the game.

No more talkin you out of him, I think he is taking his game to the next level.

Kids a gun, no doubt!

he drifted into my teams at times during preseason, was def on my radar given his end of last year/clarko loves him - could end up being a premo this year

the thing with martin is he's played carlton and collingwood for 79 and 75, copping a tag at times... considering what his ceiling against the poorer quality teams could be this year, i think you'd have to be mad to be trading him out...

What you mean, trade early?! Blasphemy!!

Shaw's worth getting rid of for a number of reasons, that being said...
