Dustin Martin has announced his retirement from the AFL after an injury-affected end to his career at Richmond. The 32-year-old reached his 300th game in June and put persistent rumours to bed when he lined up for the Tigers in their next match, but a back complaint ended his day at half-time. The lingering concern and a trip to New Zealand then sparked doubts about whether he would return to the field, with Saturday’s defeat to North Melbourne becoming his final game.
Famously shy in public and largely eschewing the media, save for occasional post-game interviews and the many winner’s speeches he enjoyed, he won over the room opening up to Bruce McAvaney after winning the 2017 Brownlow Medal. “I was just a young bloke who liked to play up every now and then,” Martin said of the ‘chopsticks’ saga that became a flashpoint in his career.
