Stef Martins worst is very very bad - Gus like. Possibly worse.
PASS.
disagree.
i was impressed with his 2011 was very good for a back up ruckman, and 2009 he had a decent yr tracking in the right direction for a young player in his second yr in the afl.
he managed just 7 gmes this yr mainly due to injury. 2010 he played just 2 games again due to injury hip problem. so hes stalled more due to injury than not having talent.
seems his two recent injury free seasons hes been decent and hes tracked well and truly in the right direction.
reckon he would be the type hartley looks at a talented player not getting a game or performing for what ever reason at another club, a player who may come real cheap.
at 199cm and 104kg hes plenty big enough to play first ruck in time. i think the knock on him here is does he have the ticker to play as a ruckman.
hes a little like derickx in the fact he was drafted as a mature recruit at age 21. unlike derickx
he managed 8 games in his first yr 2008. and like i said filled the second ruck role nicely in 2009 his second yr playing 19 games and showing real upside.
2010 2 games injury.
2011 21 games and a very decent season 96 marks, 18 possesions a game 10 goals and 16 h/o per game as the back up ruckman. nothing to be sneezed at.
2012 was a struggle with ijury managing just 7 games and looking very ordinary at times. another tall ruckman/for called vickery struggled in 2012 with injury and looked terrible.
would give him a try for the right price.
