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.

 

Lolz perhaps you think Spencer is a better option right now. Hell I'm tall and unfit and injured but clearly ill be better. I'll play instead of stef.

Come on, Benno, let's talk footy. Don't make fantastical comparisons.

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!

Come on Jumbo big Steph is making you look plain silly!

What a great game he really is coming on in leaps and bounds...

On ya Steph!

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.

he is playin bloody good footy, simple as that

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.

Correct

No. I don't think so.


Yes, but you're irrelevant.

Another personal attack.

Let's talk footy.

What you should have said is, 'Your opinion is irrelevant' and which point I disagree.

Thanks

 

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
