C'mon Al. The guy plays like a veteran and he is been in the system for what 2 years? He might not fit the profile of an Oxford scholar but neither does 90% or more of the population despite what they may see in the mirror.
not basing that on martin the individual, but martin the footballer. learnt a long time ago not to confuse the individual and his football ability.
Most of the good stuff he does is seems to be on instinct rather than smart decision making.
In a way it's the nature of the beast. He's at his best when he surges, using strength to break free which causes an adrenalin rush which basically means you are running on instinct
as others have said, when he plays well, we play well, but i think it's more specifically when he kicks goals we go close to winning. Instinctual players are normally at their best around goals.
Dimma said something about how he'd try to explain something to martin and martin just looks at him as if to say just let me go play footy.
Wasn't a critisim of the kid though owl.
if we could just put concas head on martins body.......
