Legendary Richmond AFL player Dustin Martin has called time on his illustrious 15-year career. The three-time Norm Smith medallist, triple premiership player, Brownlow medallist, four-time All Australian, three-time Gary Ayers medallist, and dual Jack Dyer medal winner informed his teammates this morning of the decision to retire with immediate effect.
“It is hard to put into words what the Richmond Football Club means to me, I love this place so much,” Martin said. “I will be forever grateful for the love and the support I have received from the people here. To my teammates, the brotherhood that we all share is what I value most, as well as the bond with the staff and coaches… thank you to all of you. To my family and friends, thank you for your unconditional love and support.”
