The Tigers legend has quit the game effective immediately after 302 games and winning three premierships and the 2017 Brownlow medal
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.
From his second season until his 13th, Martin only once finished outside the top six of the Tigers’ best and fairest . By 2013, as Richmond returned to finals action for the first time in 12 years. Martin won his first Jack Dyer Medal and All Australian honour in 2016 while spearheading Richmond to the Club’s drought-breaking 2017 premiership.
Martin returned to top form in 2023, making the All-Australian squad of 40 and finishing runner-up in Richmond’s best and fairest for the fourth time in his career. “Three premierships and best on ground in each of them will always be his legend, and rightly, it, along with his unique aura, will be what he is best remembered for. But I think Dustin would be most proud of what he was able to achieve playing for a team… for our team—and the magnificent role he was able to play within that system, which let him be every bit the footballing genius that he was always destined to be.
