Best 22 in 21

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.

Agree I like him as shock value in the middle, but prefer him setting up and delivering to others down forward as his foot skills and vision is terrific. 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.
