Jack Martin

[ding 5,126]

And would we be interested in chasing him? Do we have any way to make a trade if we were? 

I believe we have to use our first round pick this year at the draft, so we probably wont have the currency unless someone gets traded out.

Thoughts?

There is something about Jack Martin that doesn't sit right with me. 

Perhaps it's his consistency. He has this seemingly limitless potential but never produces week to week.

[darkhorse72 1,765]

not reliable (Yet) Bit like Aaron Hall now at Roos.

See what is available trade time.

 

[Neitz Blitz 13]

Avoid

[Neitz Blitz 13]

Why am i a rookie demon? I want master

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,521]

Would be up there in the Brownlow with 4-6 votes thus far.

[JV7 2,339]

Would take a proper pre season & good conditioning/fitness ?

[Moonshadow 16,515]

I thought all GCS players were fat and unfit?

[dazzledavey36 49,582]

Exactly the kind of player we need. Would play that wing/half forward role perfect with his speed and football smarts.

But he's not an inside midfielder so we'll pass anyway.

[beelzebub 22,582]

If he's any good ( really ) Dew will try to keep him. If he doesn't...we probably don't want him

We will take Brayden Sier instead and add him to our list of inside mids....

[Moonshadow 16,515]

Finish bottom eight and we can kiss any hope of being a destination club goodbye. 

[poita 3,723]

Irrespective of who is available we have to hit the draft hard this year. You can't go four years without adding quality youngsters to your list without causing a major issue in the future (see Melbourne 2007-2014 as a result of list management issues in the early 2000s).

Outside mid, good in the air and kicks goals. Would love him at the Dees. 

In terms of trade value GC would likely want 2 first rounders for him, I don't think many teams will be willing to part with that kind of currency... 

[stevethemanjordan 6,952]

Martin would be huge addition. 

It's a pipe dream though.

ssshhH  Ffs,   Mahoney and Co will see this,  and start thinking about retail therapy again.

 

Jack Martin !!!

I wasn't keen on targeting KK when the likes of Shiel was available. I'm also underwhelmed by Jack Martin. Clearly, GC has a very poor development program as well as standards. It will probably take KK 12-months to get up to standard, same applies with May and his fitness (injuries aside). With that said, I don't mind the idea of targeting Martin, as long as the price is right. However, that never happens with "let's be friends and get the deal done" Mahoney. Also, I'd question the pursuit if the like of Josh Kelly was ignored. It's time we go hard and target these big names as opposed to these second or third rate players. The likes of Collingwood, Hawthorn, Richmond and Essendon continue to get it done (O'Meara, Mitchell, Treloar, Adams, Hoskin-Elliot, Prestia, Lynch, Smith, Shiel), why can't we.

How would it be HUGE? He hasn't exactly set the world on fire. U18 potential stops once they're listed and constantly playing in the firsts.

We will have between 3rd And 6th pick, that should get us someone fairly good

Well it worked with Petracca he is huge!

[Moonshadow 16,515]

Isn't GWS Kelly a RFA this year? Or has he re-signed? If, if by chance we play finals, I'd throw at least $1mill pa to him and use our first rounder on young, fast mid with good decision making. Apparently we can't trade our 2019 1st rounder anyway

[Mr Steve 3,820]

Don't want him.

He is class and polish, that's why he'd be huge.

We have zero X-factor in our starting 22.

He has the ability to kick a goal from nothing, the ability to set-up an opportunity for goal that wasn't there.

He is quality and we are absolutely desperate for that forward of the ball.

Would he get a game ahead of ANB though?
