I originally thought he was going to be more a HF type for us, but what he showed on Saturday confirmed he should play predominantly midfield each week.
He was imo an unsung hero and should have been in the votes. His aggression and pressure got us going, and then his clean ball use set up a lot of our attacks.
We need to persist with him in there.
He is giving 110% ... always thought that was a myth
Been terrific thus far - 2/3 games have been excellent.
Has shown himself more than capable both forward in the midfield, and I expect to see him spend time in both areas.
It would certainly be nice to have 2 of him.
Will be interesting to revisit at the end of the season - consistency has been a major issue through his career, let's see if he has overcome that.
I called this in the midfield tread, Jack Martin brings more of what our midfield needed then Coniglio does, we just did not have a mature bodied mid that has both an inside and outside game, class, elite footskills, elite hands, speed, evasiveness, toughness and genuine defensive tackling pressure and genuine X factor, can bring all that to the forward line too, didn’t think we’d see much of him as a mid this year, due to all our key forwards struggling with injuries throughout the preseason, but it’s looking like McGovern CAS and Harry can give is enough fire power up forward, freeing Martin up to play further up the ground, what a joy it is watching him deliver the ball inside 50, watching Cripps feed Martin the footy to kick inside 50 is going to give opposition teams fits, he’s a classic POD mid, not to many players like him going around.
Its gone under the radar, but adding Jack Martin to our list, was essentially adding another number one pick, this one didn’t cost us winning a spoon and comes ready to go, with 100 games under his belt.
The best part is we got him for FREE ! Lol stuff footy dreams are made of.
SPS could be that man
Classy, and Tough. It's a good combo.
Now that it looks like you can add Invested to that combo, it's a really good combo.
Can see why a number of clubs were keen to get him. Just the type of player we have been screaming out for. A goalkicking midfielder that uses the ball superbly. Would be great if SPS could model his game on this guys, as they do have similar traits.
