Durham is following Martin - discovered in the discount bin that makes a mockery of the draft.

Durham will be our best player by seasons end.

Explosive mid with muscle, skill, speed and courage also good over head.

Best on ground tonight. Thought he was our best V the Saints till his head knock also. A seriously impressive player.

Loved the energy the team had for his 4th QTR centre clearance and bullet pass to Stringer.

Not wanting to bring the tone down either, but the bloke is doing damn well off field too

He’s a Jack Crisp type, will go underrated because he doesn’t get the numbers, but he is a genuine two way player who impacts the game when he has it

Better than Merrett?

I mean he is a gun and all…

Yeah 100% or at least up there in that group of Merrett, Ridley Martin.

Huge call.

Not sure I have him there yet but I admire it.

I’m an old B to and I thought the same. Merv Neagle type

This is a lofty comparison, and not saying he is as good, but he reminds me a lot of Paul Kelly the way he finds the ball.

And Paul Kelly was an absolute champion of the game.

When he kicked his goal in the last I knew we had it in the bag.

watching essendon games always gets nervous when opposition 5 goals down with 5 minutes to go.
But not tonight.

He bullied the Bont tonight; man is taking names this year.

Also one of the things I really like about Duz is he is a genuinely top bloke

It’s taken 20 years but Disco has finally found a half back flanker to turn into a midfielder

That’s actually a pretty decent call.
Needs to triple the size of his biceps though.

What a difference this guy makes

Sam the barometer Durham

4 year contract looking a very astute decision by EFC.
