Christian Petracca is now a Melbourne player for life after signing a big contract during the week, and the media have been talking him up as the next Dustin Martin. The truth is that there is no next Dusty, as he was a generational player and it's unfair to expect anyone else to dominate like Martin has. Trac has some similar attributes and has followed the same slow-burn career trajectory while his mind grew as strong as his body, but fantasy coaches will just be happy with consistent output, which Dusty never quite managed.
