Dustin Martin

I gave him a decent bagging about 6 weeks ago, he is probably AFL top 5 atm. I was wrong.
Brownlow form?
 
Martin is very good but overrated.Where was he last week? This match doesnt count.7 contested possessions
in a half is very average not great.Our next tough opponent will be Port in adelaide.Lets get back to his performance
then.

I wish he would dont argue that. That was a pitiful comment.

*smile* is the only one who bones up over contested possessions. Essendon had more of them than Hawthorn on Friday night.
 
Probably the first game where he's definitively lead from the front and won us a game. Very consistent 4 quarter performance also.

Good to see he's maturing.
 
Glad he wont cop another baking on here this week after another very good performance. Dominant player on the ground again.
 
Super effort .
One of four Tigers who have a footy brain.
Love him playing up forward in tight last quarters.
Has won us a few games doing that

Woweee. Martin was great Swans, Hawthorn, Port Adelaide. He doesn't just play well against poorer sides. I thought he was sublime. Some of his vision was fantastic. I have no doubt without him we would have lost that match today, he was that influential.
 
He was great today and in those games but im comparing him to the impact
that other midfielders have on a big game.For example Selwood last week in the last
against quality opposition and Dangerfield against North.
I havent seen Dusty do it in those big games this year.His finals were also poor.
No doubt his inside contested work has improved but im still waiting for him
to change a game when the heat is really on.Next test is Port in adelaide.
Gold coast, Bombers, Fremantle all rubbish opponents.
