Benalla co-coach Will Martiniello showcased his incredible talents at the weekend in another special performance for the talented on-baller.

Despite the Saints suffering a 99-point defeat at Moon Oval, Martiniello was a class above all day long.

Thanks to GVL Data, we can get a glimpse of Martiniello’s efforts in the numbers side of the game.

Martiniello tallied up 37 disposals, 11 marks, eight tackles, five clearances and four inside-50s in the loss at the weekend.

What makes his outing even more special is the fact Martiniello sat out the final quarter due to an injury.

The 2014 Morrison Medal winner was on track to reach an extraordinary number of disposals.
