Stats
Bio
A local recruit hailing from Drysdale on the Bellarine Peninsula, Tom Martin was given his opportunity at VFL level with Geelong during the 1911 season. Standing 175cm, he operated as a forward who knew where the goals were, managing to boot five majors across his five senior appearances. Despite maintaining a respectable average of a goal per game and showing promise as a scoring option, his time in the top flight was fleeting; he concluded his League career at the end of that solitary year without adding further games to his record.
