Player Watch #36 Welcome to Richmond - Will Martyn

[Grrr]

Don't think that matters with us.Kaos ball.

Mid's who distribute the ball well are always more dangerous than those that don't. Matty Knights would compliment our side nicely right now.

Let the video go through too Stacks debut.
I know Pickett's debut is something for the ages.
But Sydney's debut for a kid was better under the circumstances.IMO

 

[Barnzy]

His work rate, high accumulation and ability to rack up uncontested possessions and marks around the ground lead me believe this was a Brandon Ellis type replacement pick.

looks less soft too

 

[Barnzy]

Im hopeful for the kid but he seems to lack speed. Im worried, when a player lacks speed they struggle in AFL level footy. Corey Ellis a prime example. Hope Im wrong.

Speed does not stop a player impacting at AFL level alone.

Correy Ellis was not up to it because he was soft, slow and also couldn't find the ball.

Martyn already looks to be a big ball winner at junior level so he's already ahead of Corey Ellis who was inconsistent in his junior days.

But he's not a wingman, centre square mid like Ross.

He's also a good size by the pick on the Dow thread.

 

[mad_tiggy911]

What are his combine stats?

 

[Grrr]

6 minute/16 second 2km is really impressive.
He evidently added 10kg over the year, so he won't have a problem with size and endurance. Pretty outside according to most, but looks more suited to inside to me.

 

[mad_tiggy911]

What about over 20m?

 

[Grrr]

What about over 20m?

Couldn't find anything.
But he doesn't look overly quick, but it is not mentioned anywhere that he is slow.

 

[Marcel Proust]

But he's not a wingman, centre square mid like Ross.

not everyone can play centre square at once - there is que

he better learn the wing...

 

[Grrr]

Very unlikely that he will be playing anything other than VFL for a season or two, not an easy side to crack. He might play wing at some stage, he has the running power so that's a start, but he looks like a ball hunter.

i was kinda talking about the vfl team

rcd, ross, dow, cumberland, english ...

 

[tropicaltiger]

looks a likely type, i like the way he takes the footy and then 'in one lightning movement' rotates the ball to give him that perfect placement to distribute by hand or foot.

 

[Grrr]

i was kinda talking about the vfl team

rcd, ross, dow ...

I'd be surprised if Ross is not Rd.1 AFL, he is going to be a gun.

Dow looks like a bit of a Gary Ablett type when he first started, lead up half forward who can go through the middle. A couple of times in his highlights he reminded me of Ablett.
Martyn has played mainly centre and looks physically more equipped for it right now. We have lost Ballard as well.

Graham Pickett or Stack in the reserves then to challenge Martyn for time inside the guts - assuming Ross is promoted

Stacks natural spot is inside mid i would like to see him there... preferably in the afl if possible, Ballard will hurt but RCD is a beast now so it should be alright

If Stack is not playing AFL I'm going to support Essendon.
Pickett is also there unless something odd happens.
Graham is the most likely of the three, but I'd be surprised if he is not best 22-24.

Wash your mouth out

 

[Grrr]

Wash your mouth out

He made me do it.

 

[captain cotch 9]

Can Martyn play with Ross and Graham? Seem very similar

 

[Muddiemoose]

Funny you say that,
His numbers last year were very similar to Ablett at the same time in his career

not suggesting that he will be anywhere that the player Ablett turned out to be but there is definitely a connection to how they play

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

Needs to be a cunnington type if he doesn't have pace.

 

[THE_GUN]

Players with limited pace are very much up against it in todays football , Hope the kid does well but if his speed is suspect then its going to be a challenge

 

[Bojangles17]

We will know pretty quick where these guys are at with their impact at vfl , English wasn’t able to translate his wafl colts ball winning ability to vfl, hope these lads can
