Dustin Martin, the man who was drafted to Richmond at its lowest ebb and hauled the club to three premierships, plays his 300th game on Saturday night. In an astonishing career, where does he sit among the modern greats?
There's shades of the biblical to the Dustin Martin story, in which he led a long-diminished fan base to the promised land. Salvation in 2017. Exaltation in 2019. Immortalisation in 2020. From some sort of footballing purgatory at Punt Road, he rose.
Martin was an alchemist in these finals, transmuting his performance into something Tigers fans will tell you was almost ethereal. Opponents melted away, play unfolded as if in slow motion, like it was all meant to end up in some sports film.
His place in the game, you can't argue. Let's hope footy fans can watch him walk on water just a few more times.O'Callaghan, Jack claim coveted individual spots in 100 metre freestyle, fresh faces feature in Paralympic team
