I would se him as a decent option as that forward ruck role and might be cheaper than Zac clarke.

talk is that the pies are interested
havent heard of anyone else

[PADDLEPOP1001]

Be a great pick up and can play!

[Little Dozer]

198cm is undersized for the ruck. How's his leap?

I'm interested.

Big leap!

Would be a perfect foil for us i feel.
Would give McEvoy a good chop out. Whilst being able to be a force up forward
Would allow Stanley to be a permanent forward.

And god forbid McEvoy went down, Is more the capable of being the number 1 ruckman (did it when Jamar was injured)

Id jump all over him.
Would be cheap to!!

This is the type of player Sydney would pick up and make a winner

[FQF]

I reckon that if we can snag Martin cheap and get Hickey with our second round pick then our ruck stocks will be very well looked after for the next 5 years at least.

[sax]

He's played a little down back too.

Would be a great pick up!

[Watts the Buzz]

He's no good....

[gringo]

He's no good....

big guys take time, he's still young and might just be about ready to roll.

[mad saint guy]

Would be ideal backup. Solid, mature body in the ruck and is athletic enough to do a job down back. Not sure he has the smarts to be a forward but we've got enough immediate depth there with Roo, Stanley, Kosi and WIlkes.

Would love to get him for a player swap. I'd definitely offer any of Jones, Gram, Raph and Winmar to see if Melbourne would take any of them. I wouldn't part with our second round draft pick, maybe third though.

[Con Gorozidis]

Stefan Martin good replacement for Kosi. Wouldnt spend big on him though. Straight swap for Faz or a medium pick.

Agreed. Would be loathe to give up a pick for him though. Dollar for Dollar, Faz is better value. Melbourne would be winning in a straight swap.

Ray would play every game next year in melbourne's midfield.

How are the Pies going to end up with every player in the comp...unless eddie has persuaded dimwit

[Teflon]

Only heard good things bout this guy - few Melb friends really rate him and can't understand why demons would let him go

[True Blue Sainter]

Played a few games with Stef in the U/19s at OHAFC. Huge leap, very athletic, can take a mark and has learned a few of the nuances of the game in recent years too...

The League B&F (like the Brownlow) was done on a 3-2-1 basis. Stef polled 29/30 votes. Smashed it. He would rove his own ruckwork it was ridiculous.

[Jacks Back]

I'm not really a fan of Steve Martin.

Yeah, but he'd only play eight or ten at the Saints so to us he's not worth much. The best trades are like this - when a player is worth f***-all to one club but a fair bit to another - that way a deal can get done which is win-win.

[FQF]

Wouldn't swap him for Ray. I would for Jones, Raph, Winmar or anyone else of that nature. Maybe he can be worked into that imaginary trade for Frawley. Frawley and Martin for 13 and Ray.

[plugger66]

Martin aint no star but he is a KPP and a ruckman which we need. Ray is HBF or winger who struggles to get game. Footy is a business and losing an 8 game player from this year to maybe get a player that could be what we need depending on other trades makes more sense that just about every trade that has been put on this site to date. If it doesnt work out then big deal we have lost an 8 game player that seems to want to leave anyway. At best for a trade not involving a player we could get a third rounder so we have lost a pick 40 something. Again big deal. If this trade is even slightly possible then hopefully the club go for it.

He is another we should have drafted when he nominated - he was recommended to the saints by Stew Loewe and they chose not to select him. Our history at the draft is again proven to be very poor!

Can you tell us all those nominated that we didnt draft that didnt succeed?

Wasn't Tom Lynch recommended to the Saints by Loewey? How are the recruiters supposed to tell the difference between the ones he gets right and the ones he gets wrong?
