SC 2014 Profile: Dustin Martin

[kilbluff1985]

more of a DT option i think. 6th in the afl for uncontested possessions. gets a lot of easy kicks sideways across half back to make his stats look good but that doesn't score well in sc

probly a good upgrade target after his round 8 bye tho

Has averaged more in SC than he has in DT every season so far...

yeah is in like the top 5 SC Forwards also :o

One of the last choices I agonised over last year was Zorko or Martin. Let's just say I chose incorrectly and it was one of my biggest regrets for the year. I'm backing Martin to increase his average to 110 ppg and he is already locked in for me.

He was the 4th highest scoring forward last year to? Only cox, rocky and Petrie out scored him

[Doggoneit]

Stevie J, Bartel, Walker, NRoo,

If he does play as a defender it will be as the main distributor into the middle and they will get the ball into his hands whenever possible, a lot of cheap possies as well. Wouldn't be too worried, no way he will play exclusively in defence regardless

yeah i see this as a good thing

[shorty3264]

Yeh this is no cause for re thinking on Dusty. He play that quarter back role, but he will surely not be wasted their for whole matches or the season? Either way, he is capable of tearing it up in both positions.

He did get a fair chunk of his possessions roaming around half back last season anyway so won't change much
