Mick Martin, he's not a one-and-a-half man.

He's just one... He's a one-man guy.

So he's the guy that when someone's running to the goal square, he's not leaving Gary Ablett for the handball over the top.

He'll just concede.

As long as Gazza doesn't kick a goal.

So that's a one-man.

But one-and-a-half man is, in particular, in the air.

It's if you can lock down your direct opponent, knowing that you're going to have support from one of your teammates and predominantly a defender.

It's a defender's thing, Gerard, so...

They train that a lot.

We train it a lot.

A McGovern type, he's probably two men.

He could play like and defend two players.

The traditional defender, can you be a one-and-a-half-man player?

And that means beat your man but also be willing to support others.

And that's a – yeah, so you had it in McGovern as you showed us the Tom Stewart clips from the Brisbane game where he could play on two at once through instinct and being able to move.

Yeah, he's two-and-a-half men.

Those guys, they're –

they're next level when they can not only, they just guard space and they guard where the ball's going.

Whereas most mortals will have a direct opponent.
