AFL Player #37: Nic Martin

[TheGrizz]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2024
2024 My Boy Draft: Pick 1, Beerfish

 

[citizen-erased]

Be close at the top between Martin, Redman and Laverde for consistent efforts
Wright possibly with some BOG's to his name.

the jumper tug was nice.
10 year deal please

 

[andleanback]

I'm honestly curious if he's leading our BnF or not? He's played most games and has been good in pretty much all of them.

Top 5 would be something like parish, redman, Martin, wright, merrett- no particular order. Laverde not far behind

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Captain.

Will be right up there. Few have been more consistent but he missed a game and our voting system seems to heavily reward games played sometimes over quality of games.

 

[wichidi]

I'd say he's getting votes nearly every week, would be top 5 in my estimations at this point. Honestly not a backhanded compliment to your club either. I should mention I have some ties to Essendon so despite my supported club I'm invested in seeing the Dons doing well.

A Carlton supporter with some ties to Essendon? Wow. You must feel constantly dirty

Just had a thought as to who you'd compare Nic Martin too, and I reckon he and Connor Rozee

is being touted by media personalities as the next Petracca now and is top 10 in the coaches votes. Martin is barely registering as a blip for the Rising Star. Yet, when you compare their statistics for this season side by side Martin beats him in most statistics. Martin has the potential to be the best player in the competition.

I wanted to go with this on the main board but I'd rather not deal with the nuffies.

Please put it on the mainboard, the melts would be incredible.

 

[justlookingaround]

For real. He is 21 years old. He could very well be the best player in the competition in 5 years time.

Mitch Duncan springs to mind. Martin doesn’t get the CBA’s that Rozee gets so I think the roles are quite different though the stats do appear to match up well.

 

[frodos gardener]

Has a tendency to get run down by surprise although I reckon his teammates could support him more with voice and body.

i think most of them are thinking "thank ****, he'll sort us out now" when he's got the ball

 

[Yoda_]

Highest possession tally since round 11, best game since round 7.

Fantastic, clean, poised and. the best part, makes good decisions.

 

[eth-dog]

Crazy how he's averaging 20 disposals and 1 goal/game this year (only Shuey has ever done that over a full season) and he's (correctly) predicted to be 3rd or 4th at best in the Rising Star

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

strong year. one of the few where you'd say you've got genuine contenders that could take it out in any other year.
But Daicos has gone next level in the last 2 months.

noticed we're deploying Nic a bit defensively too. seems to regularly be last line of defence in a sweeping role. his fitness must be incredible. Always seems to be where we need him.

 

[Harlequin Dream]

(only Shuey has ever done that over a full season)

That isn't true.

 

[eth-dog]

That isn't true.

Sorry, forgot that Buckley did too.

 

[Harlequin Dream]

Sorry, forgot that Buckley did too.

GAJ has definitely done it. James Hird too.

I could find dozens of players to reach that mark.

Not in their rising star year. That's the metric.

 

[TheGrizz]

Sorry, forgot that Buckley did too.

I imagine a few have done it.

I think Marc Murphy did it once for example, unless you mean first year players.

Ah, got it.

 

[eth-dog]

I forgot that the RS went back to 92. The only players to have done it in H/A are Shuey, Buckley, Mercuri and currently Martin (using 18 games as a qualifier). Shuey kicked 1 goal in 3 finals his year but was 23 goals in 22 games over the course of the season. Murphy's Rising star year he averaged 18 disposals and 0.6 goals/game

 

[Vander18]

Great to see him sit under that high ball for the first goal of the game - kept his eyes on the footy and took the contact….good lad.

Now he’s done it, hopefully that’s the end of that issue.

Shuey is the only player ever in rising star calculations? Pretty sure Buckley might’ve done it.

In their RS year. I was wrong, Buckley and Mercs did it in 93 too
