Nicholas Martin didn't take the field in R3 and remains sidelined with injury, making him a zero-value asset at the moment. At $529k with a 78 BE, he needs to hit the ground running the moment he returns — there's no buffer here. With 0.1% ownership, coaches aren't missing much yet, but avoid until he's confirmed in Essendon's 22.
