Who is he?

Young forward\ruckman from Sandringham. 199cm I think. Played a lot for the Sandy seniors towards the end the season. Strong mark, and very mobile, has a basketball background. His kicking lets him down a bit, but that definitely improved as the season went on.

He is a tall forward/Ruckman from Old Haileybury who did a preseason with us last year, after being touted as a possible draft pick straight out of the ammos, and then played for Sandringham this year. Can take a pack mark, but has yet to translate that ability into big goal hauls.

I'm sorry guys but what does this mean? Is Martin on our senior list?

Yep he took the last spot on our senior list. The rookie draft (where we'll select four(?) more players) kicks off in a few minutes.

From his interview on SEN 1116

did not play junior football and started to play easy football with old hailebury when he got sick of basketball and was seen and was asked to train with sandy and melbourne...he is 198 i think he said and he started as a ruckman but then became more of a forward....he doesnt have a very good kick he admits...he weighs about 100 kgs but wants to put on more weight...has a good relationship with mark williams..."this is a remarkable story" from SEN...

it seems he is extremely surprised...he played basketball for australia at under 20 level so for him to play football now and get picked up is astounding...melbourne hope he turns out to be a ruckman!! there you go critics lol...and he almost sounded like he was in tears he was so happy and surprised to get picked up...

He won the U19's best and fairest last year after only playin a small amount of games. There was a write up in the herlad sun last year about it. BOG every game he played virtually from memory

Also heard him on SEN & was clearly surprised that was picked up. Happy with this selection as shows MFC looking to development of young talent going forward. Better option that Sampi who would have been a risk given his weight etc.

But luck for Sampi - but the dream is not dead. If he applies himself and shines somewhere there is still a chance, though more remote after today!

Why in the world would we do that?

Because he is an incrediblt talented player who would be amazing for us.

If he was willing to do that you would have to want him in a heartbeat.

Considering his only downfall was his desire.

Don't be a moron, Sampi is a wiked player. Is not fat. Take a look at the demonology pics.

Will Martin get a game.....

In the rucks I would say White, Meesen, Jamar and PJ are ahead of him.

Forwards Neitz, Robbo, Newton, Miller are ahead of him.

Could we have rookied Martin?

on the dees site it has a little snippet on martin, says plays most his footy as a defender?

Plan to turn him into a big defender?

I've never seen him play back, only ever forward or in the ruck. I would think he would be a future forward, but you never know.

There's little point in us training him etc, when we have a 1/16 chance of being able to recruit him.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
