Dustin Martin

He could easily have had 6 goals last Thursday.
Last season he kicked 9 for the year..

I like him forward of centre..

Yep. Should've been 6 goals, 33 disposals.

That's huge.

When was the last time a midfielder played a game like that?

Even 4 and 33. How many plus 30 disposal 4 goal games has there been in the last five years?

I reckon it's under 10.

Big test tomorrow night.

They will target him. No doubt.

Yep - will be very interesting to see just what this mob get away with - remember the way they scragged and held Cotch off the ball all night a few years back and the upms just watched.

Another slow day, Yinners?
 
Imagine Dusty will be this week's focus for Scumwood.
Will they try to tag him? Doubt they'll be allowing him much space.
If they do manage to curtail his influence (that will be difficult in his form) others are going to need to step up.

This is the wonderful thing we have in 2017.

If they tag him, clear the 50 out and sit his ample backside in the goal square for half the game. 20 touches and 4 goals or 14 and 5 is still an outstanding effort that goes a long way to winning the game.

Prestia + Caddy + better ball movement + better forward pressure make it impossible to completely tag Dustin Martin. This combination is the perfect way to unlock the Dustin Martin beast mode.

And a four quarter performance from our captain.

People argue that Dusty should stat in the forward 50 but he also the best at getting it in there. Two of him would be nice. I'm not sure he would be the gun permanent forward people make out.

Good data, that's amazing and puts Gaz's dominance into perspective. Thanks for sharing.
