More info on Matthew Martin

Blair Hartley said: “Powerfully built key position prospect that has shown ability to play key forward and key back in West Adelaide’s senior side. He was a state U18 representative for SA this year. He has really nice hands, a nice kick for his size and good straight line speed. He’s a developing prospect and we’ll see how he goes. He’s also mates with Hamish Hartlett, having gone to school with him as well as played at West.

There's a link to footage of him in his afl.com bio:

Matthew Martin
Date of birth: 23/2/90
Height: 191cm
Weight: 99kg
Club: West Adelaide

Bio: Martin is a powerfully-built tall defender who impressed during a match against Tasmania in 2008 NAB AFL Under-18 Championships.

Jason McCartney says: He is a 191cm key position player and during the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships the ball didn't get past him at centre half-back or full-back. He was really strong overhead and for his size showed excellent agility. He handballed more than kicked – I don't know if he's got a heap of confidence in his kicking – but he was the rock South Australia built its defence around.

SA U18 coach Brenton Phillips says: Matthew is a big, strong, aggressive backman and he's from Sacred Heart College which has produced a lot of good AFL footballers. He's very good athletically, is very quick off the mark for a man of his height and he kicks the ball really nicely.

Actually believe he's a bunbury in WA now, know for certainty he isn't at flagstaff
