Welcome to the Westernbulldogs Stefan Martin

JT was three years

I thought 4 years had gone fast.

Not that fast as it turns out

A million dollars too, so on average abut $330,000 a season. Unfortunately we didn't get a huge ROI, but you'd think that salary being freed up and Martin being cheap helps the TPP if only a small amount.

I heard all ruckmen are on 700k so maybe not that cheap.

Honestly if we get one season out of him and the mentor that English and Sweet need, this is a huge win for the club, specially if he can go up against the big boys and help English out.

Also means we can play a traditional strategy and not send a fwd to the mid every ruck contest so our fwd line isn't always out numbered, they might actually stand a chance for once.

*!*!*!*!ing good.

Overly simplified, if it was JT or Martin for one or two years as the other main ruck option, I think we’ve improved the list somewhat.

Harris Andrews tweet about him today shows we are bringing in another mature leader, which is a plus.

A genuine ruck coach with no impact on out soft cap is available commodity that is a bonus too.
I don't expect Stef to play every game, it may even be a Ben Hudson to Collingwood/Brisbane type scenario.

How much do we have to raise in a GoFundMe to get Stef to grow a beard?

Was the last lawyer we had play with us Sam Power?

Not sure on that.

I'd rather the lawyers playing for us than chasing us (hi Collingwood)

Pretty impressive interview.

Sounds like a ripper leader.

Well so far we've gotten Hannan and Martin in. Neither will be guns, but we've given up very little to get them both - and both are targeted at specific weaknesses we had this season (Ruck, and forward pressure/forward craft).

Hard to be critical of a targeted strategy.

From here, if we get Treloar as a relative bargain - then great, if not and we hold on to Dunks - then I'm still happy enough to keep him.

[comrade]

I'd rather Martin as player 38 on our list than someone like Brad Lynch, just for the off field benefits of having a dedicated, mature ruckman on the list to help develop English and Sweet.
