I very much liked his ability to run down tackle with some intent, Nthmond would have been a very good test!

Put the heat on Jack Martin. Play him predominately in the midfield against the Tiges.

Pratty, I fear he will be found out should we do that. Still, it's one way to go.

I fear you’re correct.
Martin provides best value as a half forward. He can have an impact with an occasional run through the midfield but I think he would be exposed by the Richmond midfielders if he was in the guts for extended periods.
I would prefer to see Martin making the Richmond halfbacks accountable.

Well be lucky to get within 10 goals of the tigers.
The horror start... The huge on field holes.
Looks like another nothing season. I'd be mentally preparing for Cripps running around in different colours next year and a new coach.

Even carrying all the outs, I'll be ropeable if we get done by anything like 10.
Re: Best 22 in 21 - townsendcalling - 03-15-2021
Given that the last 4 years Round 1 results have been defeats by 7 goals in 2017, 4 in 18, 5 in 19 and 4 in 20 and 10 goal loss would be very, very hard to stomach.
Keep the faith!

He is also a nice set shot for goal and one of those players who you feel safe with the ball in his hands.

With Eddie somewhat 50/50 and winding down we need the class of Martin to replace him and help Zac Fisher improve.
Also I dont see him as that 25-35 possie type mid who will get heaps of ball either and for me its about quality than quantity with JM and I dont want him banged up by taggers and missing games either.

Play him predominately in the midfield against the Tiges.It's the repeat efforts that will bring him undone, he might bounce after the first few tackles, but his output slides if he is kept constrained for too long. He doesn't have that grunt.
To me he looks like the type of player that regularly needs to be cut loose somewhere inside F50 to pump up his tyres.
Put SoJ in the midfield with an open license to purely hunt the pill, he'll not stop stoppage after stoppage, and at least take some scalps along the way! Has he had a good enough pre-season after his surgery issues?
I think the key to defeating Nthmond is not to be predictable in role or game style, Nthmond self-organise better than most teams, Dimma is not even needed!
Re: Best 22 in 21 - capcom - 03-15-2021
Martin has one major fault with his kicking (and unless it's under direction) in that he skies the ball into the forward line far too much when he edges way too close to the man on the mark. Did it numerous times last year. That MUST stop.
