I think the reason these idiots don't rate Martin as high as they might is that he is the complete antithesis of a flat-track bully.
When we play lesser sides, I really think Martin tends to take the night off. It's like, "I'm here if you need me boys, but let's get some serious game time into the new blokes."
But when the heat is on he's really on.
The club's first ever interstate final win against a team we didn't really put away at home the week before - six goals from 14 possessions thank you very much.
Two Grand Finals - Two Norm Smiths.
In the end, it's better for the team because it accelerates the development of the next generation of players at the expense of Martin filling his pockets against lower sides.
Ultimate team player, and it probably also is why we don't flog sides and boost our percentage. It's all about the management of the available resources.
Might also speak to the 2018 results. We were sweeping all before us and he struggled for motivation.
