Dustin Martin’s significant impact, in his debut season of AFL football, is underlined in a summary of Richmond’s key statistical categories at the mid-year break.
Martin, who turns 19 on Saturday (June 26), features prominently in nine of the 10 categories listed below.
He is No. 1 at the Club in score assists, No. 2 in total clearances, No. 2 for inside-50s, No. 3 for handballs, and No. 4 for total disposals.
The only category, where he doesn’t make the top 10, is for marks.
Brett Deledio’s prospects of completing a Jack Dyer Medal hat-trick, from a pure statistical viewpoint, appear excellent.
The 2008-09 Dyer Medallist has been in superb form throughout the first 13 rounds of the 2010 season in his sweeping role across half-back.
He is ranked No. 1 at Tigerland in the total kicks category, No. 1 for disposals, No. 1 for inside-50s, No. 2 for handballs, No. 2 for rebound-50s, and No. 2 for marks.
And, Jack Riewoldt’s rise to prominence this season also is highlighted statistically.
‘Jumping’ Jack, with 48 goals, has kicked 36 more than the next player on the Tigers’ goalkicking list for 2010 - first-year livewire, Ben Nason.
In addition, Riewoldt is ranked No. 1 for total marks, No. 4 for kicks, and No. 5 for tackles.
The full list of Tiger stats stars for the 2010 season to date is:
