Marcus has covered the AFL for 18 years across radio, print and digital. A Geelong member who lives by GMHBA Stadium and has not missed a Cats home game since 2009, he built his reputation breaking down forward-50 efficiency before stat sheets caught up. He spent four seasons inside an AFL club analytics department before going independent in 2022. His Saturday morning preview columns are required reading for serious AFL bettors. Picks rooted in pace, contested possession and forward structure rather than narrative.
