The fact he put up a contest and was desperate to win the hard ball gets my approval. I don't think he'll ever be as good as Tuck but every team needs a battering ram and at this point in time I'm thankful we have Thomas. When the biscuit is fit, I would love to have the 2 in the team around the stoppages.

He is great at winning the ball but getting rid of it cleanly isn't a strength. Will be frustrating at times. We need to coach him up like a ruckman - if you get the ball try and quickly get it to a better ball user rather than kick it yourself.

Been good so far but really, he should be praying the umps don't decide to crackdown on holding the ball. If they do he'll be back in the twos within a month.

He has added the big body to the midfield that Tuck had given us.
Very important player as a pure inside mid with good hands. Kicking is poor if he goes for distance but is good for short passing.
Would think he is an automatic selection at this point.  Good on him for turning things around.

I agree he has more than held his own.

He loves the tackling aspect of the game and good on Thomas for that.  Hard at it.

zero tackles by Cotchin was disappointing, also Cotchin's lack of blocking for Martin after he handballed it to him didnt look good either...

Cotchin would've been well within his rights to simply just yell out to Martin and every other soft, lazy prick in our side "Welcome to my world!"

Quality players who have delivered more often than not have at least earnt some credits. Particularly when those players are one of the main reasons a side was six goals up in a game in the first place.

Pretty shrewd pick up by the tigers, simply a tackling machine this bloke , a great compliment to our silk cut midfield.

Reckon that was more about having absolutely no idea where the man was and being taken by surprise as much as Martin was. Perhaps that is even more damning. Whatever the cause pretty poor football by supposedly two of our guns.

Seems fitter than a lot of other players in the team. A testament to his hard work.
