Analysis Dustin Martin

[OzRulesFootball]

I'm not forgiving him...lol.. if he scores big.. as he is very capable of doing , so be it, but he won't be in my team.. I want a player I can trust is not going to do something stupid.. he is very capable of the stupid and I'd rather not ride his journey. Good luck to him and those that go on the ride. I'll be going with other high scorers. There are plenty on offer. I'd rather be on the Rockliff ride for my forward/mid funds

bumping and knock yourselves out...lol

One half wonder yet again. Did get a few late kicks but gee he is annoying to watch in 2nd halves.

been here before...

 

[IDIG]

Great first half though lol

I have much bigger issues in my team than Dusty to worry about. He isn't costing any cash and is about his BE in two close matches. Think about when the Tigers smash a team! Well, here is hoping anyway.

I'm not sure why anyone would be disappointed with Dusty, he's averaging 90+ from 'average' games.
I haven't got him, and I'm feeling like I need to get him in as soon as I can.
I don't want to be left behind when he converts some of these 90's into big 120+ scores. Remember Dangerfield started last year with 90s, before going beserk (not suggesting Martin will reach Dangerfield heights, but trying to make a point!)

Potentially my first upgrade

He still isn't fit enough to run out matches. With a supposedly big pre-season under his belt where he showed a great attitude I expected much better. Basically played a receivers game for the match too, which is bad for SC.

I wish I didn't have him but I'm stuck with him again.

 

[Adrenaline]

I totally agree he had something like 55 at half time..i thought great he should hit 100 at least but same old Martin occurred. I'm not trading him out but if his avg doesn't improve from last year there will be a lot of unhappy sc coaches.

 

[Willyorwonty]

5 contested possessions for a guy with his position and build is poor. Either injured or not fit enough to run out games

 

[whateverittakes]

It's definitely a fitness thing with Martin but as the season progresses I'm hoping he improves this as he is still young. But I also noticed that Martin likes to hang on the outside of packs and wait for the handball so he's not a contested ball winner at all. If he can average 90 it's not a loss but just hope he improves or has a few big games.

Will ave 100+ this year make my words. Looking a class above alot of players.

How was his game as a "receiver" in the first half where he scored 61 bad for supercoach? Being parked in the fwd line cost him points.

Agreed. Need Dimma to play him more in the midfield even in spurt during the second half, he was fantastic in the first quarter and a half but then, as you mention, got sat in the forward line.
