AFL FANTASY TAKE
Martin is likely to lose a decent fitness base during his rehabilitation period especially being unable to visit the club in the short term under current health guidelines due to Covid-19, if the AFL does resume in early June Martin would be considered questionable at best to be available for Round 2.
Oscar McInerney would likely take up a significant role at Ruck while Martin is returning to full fitness.
