He’s going to stay anyway, but I’m curious what he’s worth on the open market?

Essendon has progressed talks on a new deal to keep star midfielder Nic Martin at the club for at least two more years.

Martin, 22, is out of contract at the end of next season but the Bombers have already engaged in discussions with his manager, Jason Dover from TLA, on an improved deal.

The gun wingman has been an outstanding pick-up for the Bombers since the club swooped on him for nothing in the supplemental selection period two years ago.

He has played on a deal worth about $250,000 a season, but his pay packet is certain to double on his next contract which could be finalised over summer, thwarting any prospect of a poaching raid from cashed-up Fremantle and West Coast.

Martin is certain to stay at Tullamarine and in part reward the club for showing faith in the goal kicking midfielder after he was overlooked by West Coast following a training stint there.

The West Australia has averaged 21 possessions and almost a goal a game over his first 44 matches, placing sixth and eighth in the club’s best and fairest awards in that time.
 
He's exactly what the Suns need. Would give whichever was the later of our 2 2024 1st rounders.

Sounds like he's signing though so it's really academic.
Did the Sharp delisting surprise you?
Obviously off-topic here…

No, he wanted to leave last year. He's homesick apparently. And soft as butter left on the windowsill.
