Last Week’s Events
Stef Martin is the ruck that every coach wants to have leading into the Preliminary Finals this week. He continued his hot form and is currently the premier big man in the competition after dominating again on the weekend with a game high 151 from 29 possessions, ten marks and a goal. Popular captain selection “The Pig” Tom Rockliff was ever reliable with a whopping 12 tackles and 140 while Dayne Zorko had an impressive 38 touches for 121.
On The Radar
Although he cost the ‘Big Bucks’ again now, Stefan Martin is the obvious pick if you are in the market for a ruck upgrade. He has been in amazing form with a five game average of 129 and a three round average of 138. In the last four weeks he hasn’t dropped under 124 and he has two games ahead with weak opposition in the ruck department, facing the Hawks and Dogs in that time.
