It’s a massive Saturday of football. We start with the battle of the cellar dwellers - Richmond and North Melbourne - followed by Geelong and Adelaide at GMHBA, and then we are into a Saturday night double - the Blues-Pies at the MCG and Power-Swans in Adelaide.
Richmond president John O’Rourke says club legend Dustin Martin will be given time and space to make a call on his future.Speculation has swirled all year that the triple-premiership player and three-time Norm Smith medallist would hang up the boots this year. The reclusive Martin could make a decision at any moment.No one would begrudge him that. Martin, 33, has done it all - 301 games, three flags, a brownlow, two Jack Dyer medals and three Norm Smith medals.
”Martin was brought back into today’s clash against North Melbourne after missing the past four weeks with a back injury, suffered against Carlton in round 17.He played his 300th game at the MCG against Hawthorn in round 16, and has played just 12 matches this year.There has also been talk that he would look to join former coach Damien Hardwick at Gold Coast to see out his career. That is shaping as less likely.O’Rourke also touched on the future of several other senior Richmond players.
