zoning, manning up- not sure how to do these at once. blocking, well he isn't on his own there. but this is a guy I watched miss a goal from 10m out ina practice game last year. improvement, yes. perfection, no. get off his back.

I'm glad that we agree on the need for improvement. Not once have I spoken about perfection. This is a Stef Martin thread and I have an opinion. Thanks.

Best thing about Martins progress in the ruck is that when Jamar returns, the big Russian will be able to spend more time in the forward line....which will make us much more dangerous and free up LJ and few others.....

Perhaps - but he needs to hone his defensive skills at Casey.

I applaud you jumbo, in these difficult and uncertain times you have achieved what I thought was the unpossible, you have united Demonland..

unpossible

Unbossible.....or even impossible becoming possible. i.e. two quality ruckmen. If Stef can clunk some contested marks and kick some goals he will be a weapon. Watch this space!

The most improved for 2011. He just keeps getting better.

Hands down, improver/surprise packet of the year.

We actually have more than one ruckman now. Hooray!

I say when Jamar is back, straight to FF.

+1

The success story of the year.

With every injury there's a silver lining. If Jamar hadn't gotten injured Martin would never have gotten an extended run in the ruck.

We can feel comfortable with Jamar as number and Martin as number 2 , can at least break even with any combo in the league

This year Martin has come along beautifully .

His's confidence and surer ball skills were on show from the pre-season .

So he might have to sort a few things , they all do .

As he develops further he'll be a major asset IMO .

With big Max around the ruck division will be bullet proof .

Martin at Casey. Lolz

Stef was brilliant last night... Basically beat three of them with very little assistance, due respect to first gamer going going Gawn!

His development this year and ability to stand up when asked to spearhead the ruck has been beyond anyone's reasonable expectations.

Congrats Stef!

The Ruck rule changed and there was a need for a hybrid Ruck/Forward based on the Leigh Brown experiment. While the rest of the comp go looking for this mythical beast, we have unearthed the first hybrid Ruck/Midfield/Backman/Forward. Martin is bloody everywhere, and he is running down midfielders, winning contested possession in the guts and floating back to spoil.

Steph Martin is now easily in our best 22.

I'll give credit where credit is due and the young man was very good last night.

He did things that were required last night - he blocked, chased and stayed on his man.

This is the point I've been trying to make all along.

With all due respect, I wouldn't pop him at full forward - he gets the yips. Rest him off the bench or go to the back pocket.

You haven't really got a point. Stef's game last night was an extension of what he's been doing ever since Jamar went out, you only just noticed it for the first time just now.

I know we all want to be the smartest guy in the room but sometimes you need to do a 'Roost It' and admit a wrongdoing.

Martin has been good all season and great the last month.

So someone was

I thought he was good last night, but I disagree that he's had a good month. 2 or 3 repeat performances and I'll be happy and I'll be wrong...but, no, not yet.

Thanks.

PS Loved the video.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
