Dustin Martin told the Gold Coast Suns of his desire to remain at Punt Road next year after meeting Suns coach Damien Hardwick and football boss Wayne Campbell.
Dustin Martin will see out his contract at Richmond in a bid to play his 300th game in yellow and black, but the three-time Norm Smith medallist remains open to finishing his career on the Gold Coast.
Martin, who will go down as one of the – if not the – best Richmond players of all time, has been wrestling with his future for several months and has recently witnessed the departures of teammates and close friends Trent Cotchin and Jack Riewoldt.“I think he is a passionate person. He loves his Richmond family, I think he would like to play 300 games but, again, no one gets to decide that, only he does,” Cotchin told The Age’s Jon Pierik on Wednesday.
The 27-year-old has been a regular in Simon Goodwin’s team until this season, where he’s managed just nine games due to a combination of form and injury.He was one of the only senior-listed Demons to play for Casey in the VFL two weeks ago, when the vast majority of AFL players were being held back in case they were required for selection in their qualifying final against Collingwood.
Harmes would have been in the frame to replace Angus Brayshaw for Friday night’s semi-final against Carlton, but he only recently strained his hamstring in a scratch match.Melbourne were contacted for comment.on Monday that he won’t be part of this year’s AFL finals series because his back injury prohibits him from bouncing the ball.
