Slight change of topic. Wondering who will 'run with' Dustin Martin. Dusty has the ability to take a game away in a burst of strong play. Could it be we give this role to someone from outside the square. eg. Fogarty has been described as hard nosed at the ball, he is strongly built and has a good tackle count.

Maybe for a bit here or there, but giving/exposing this kid a full game on Dusty could wreck his confidence for the remainder of his career! The chances that the reverse will happen, that it will make him, are very slim.
For me Ed is the only choice, give him the same role he played on Ablett Jnr, stop Dusty and still offer some run and spread in attack. Guys like Dusty and Ablett Jnr tend to chase very very little, smart teams can hurt them going the other way!
