Martin for mine, he reminds me of Murphy in his early days at Carlton in that from a young age is carrying the midfield.
Heppel is obviously a very talented youngster and no doubt Bombers fans are stoked to have him.
 
Heppell because his hair is more elite & his number is higher and he has the complexion to really be a good midfielder, Martin has a tattoo around his neck & is destined to be the worst player ever* in the AFL.
Shit thread deserves a shit response.

Still about 11,900 players who need to be covered in these "Dustin Martin vs" threads. Alphabetically is probably the easiest way to go.

I certainly wouldn't swap them now, absolutely love having Heppell at the Bombers.

Woudl say its a dead cert that Richmond feel exactly the same way about Martin.
 
Martin by a fair way.

Heppell will be a gun, but Martin is the next true megastar in the game.
 
Another Martin poll wow we've only had like 30 of these already and didn't even manage to spell the name of the other player correctly. Frankly the hype on Martin has become out of this world and is a long way ahead of his performances at this stage (which have been very good but he's not an elite of the competition yet, like some threads would have you believe). Anyway I see no reason why Heppell won't become a better player than Martin, Heppell is still quite skinny and has a lot of development ahead of him and is already playing great footy you can already see how well he reads the play, he's always taking plenty of marks including contested ones and always runs to the right spots and finds the pill with ease wherever he is on the field. Martin's very good but he's already got a man's physique (and uses his strength very well) and I don't see the same scope for improvement.
 
Why compare 2 player who would complement each other game styles?

yet 1 is a first year player who is exceptional at reading the play, the other is a bull, Heppell will link play together and be the designated kicker, while Martin will win the clearance and shrug a few tackles. Heppell will cause turnover after turnover by cutting off opposition kicks while Martin goes forward to kick a goal.

2 such great young players who are yet so different.

That's what everyone said last year, and then he comes out in 2011 and has improved on his 2010 form.

The difference between Martin and Heppell is simple, Martin has played in the Midfield since his debut and has had to shoulder the midfield along with Cotchin.

Heppell is playing predominantly off HB as a loose and collecting a lot of cheap disposals, he may end up going into the midfield in the next few years but until then he isn't even on the same level as Martin.

And also as to the hype, do you actually bother to watch him play?

He had a block of about 5 games where he was getting 25+ Possessions and multiple goals on a weekly basis, there isn't to many kids running around doing what he's doing at the moment, the kid deserves every bit of recognition and hype he gets from the media.
 
I used to coach Heppel, i reckon he's weak as piss!! :D

Seriosly though, reminds me of james hird a bit, going to be a very good player, Martin for me though.
