Dustin MArtin Stats

[Spanish_Fly]

Was hoping someone could help me out settle a dispute. Says on the RFC website he is 188cm tall. But reading over a thread on JR over the weekend it said the RFC stats were not up to date and he had grown over the summer.

Does anyone have an up to date height for Martin, has he grown over the summer?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Think he's about 187cm and 90kg.

 

[Disco_Stu]

so he shrunk over summer. Must be all the heavy weights...

ah no overload on the heavy weights. when he got to the club, he actually got advised that he was already too big and did not need to be "smashing the gym" - source, got a mate who is best mates with one of the players.

he actually got to the club at:
Height: 186cm
Weight: 87.5kg

so obviously he has grown and filled out a little. i'm absolutely loving dusty this year.

Would be fantastic if one of our Mods could organise a weekly blog for an hour or so with someone from the club to answer questions like this and the rookie spot(s) etc.

how the hell do all our players always grow a few cm's after arriving at the club

Could have something to do with the fact they are 17/18 and still growing

Sorry to crash, was looking for a thread on Dusty as have just started to really love his footy.

Commentators said he's living with the Chairman, was that a mid-season move that's conincided with his real good footy?

He moved in with Gary March a few weeks ago as he missed living within a family environment

Everyone needs to keep a lid on it.

Martin could be a very special player.

We just need to empower him to reach his potential which will be scary for the opposition and and delight for us supporters

We would all grow an extra few cms if we pulled on the black guensey with the yellow sash.
Maybe it works for them too.

I agree, but I for one can't help it.

Seriously, if the kid wasn't 18 he'd be in a lot of trouble...

16 is consensual isn't it?

Well, by law... but I do have some morals, although they are few and far between.

 

[Azzleberry]

I personally think he should be the favourite for the Rising Star this year. Mr consistency... Another 20 touches, 2 goals... Kid is a star! Pushes players away with ease.. Cannot be tagged!

 

[CoggaRules]

i am going to go out on a limb here and suggest the Demons are going to rue the day they opted for Scully and not Martin...the end. The kid is a weapon of mass destruction that knows what to do, when to do it and how to execute it...and that in his first 3 minutes of his AFL career. Is it any wonder the GC or GWS would be throwing truckloads of cash towards him, they would be stupid not to.

What the Dustman does to grown men as an 18 yo is just not natural. If he gets any more physical the other teams are going to have to take a restraining order out on him. I'm loving it. Our very own battering ram.

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

Loved the way he shrugged of nicnat

 

[darcytiger]

I love it how his first option is not handball, its not kick, its palm. Love his confidence

 

[mcuzzy]

he's so confident and strong for his age and loves pushing his opponent away from a tackle.

apparently he has been weightlifting for a few years which explains a lot. he will have a build like deledio's in a year or two

Followed by the long kick. Love him he plays traditional footy the way it should be played get the ball get it forward none of this chip shit.

Thanks, been a good move, cleaned up and well handled out of the media.

Looks like you've got a star footballer of the old breed, should be a ripper.

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

Didnt realise that he had 14 touches in the first quarter yesty also didnt finish the game to well but he didnt seem to have as much time on the ground.

he's a first year player so can't expect too much, but for a first year player he is outstanding.

He played more of an outside role yesterday, only had 1 clearance for the match so his 14 disposals were around the ground rather than at stoppages. He was tagged pretty heavily after that stunning first quarter.
