The greatest to ever don the yellow & black and arguably the greatest AFL player of a generation, Dustin Martinย has finalised his career after 15 seasons and 302 games with the Richmond Tigers.
Renowned nation-wide as the only player in history with three Norm Smith Medals to his name, Martin's catalogue of iconic performances may be more prolific than any other.
The title of 'big-game player' could never be more appropriately attributed, with Dusty's ability to save his crowning moments for the grandest occasions.
Unsurprisingly, all three of his Grand Final performances make the list, as do a number of other finals, the question is... in what order?
* Denotes career-high
10. 2017, Preliminary Final vs GWS -ย 103-67 win
- 20 disposals
- 3 goals
- 2 goal assists
- 13 score involvements
- 114 SuperCoach points
On one of the most euphoric days in the memory banks of Tiger fans, Dusty was typically brilliant from the first bounce when he set up the opening goal of the day and nearly brought down the 95,000-strong MCG crowd.
With a convincing qualifying final victory two weeks before, the footy world eagerly awaited this preliminary final for an official verdict on whether Richmond were the real deal and if Dusty's Brownlow favouritism could be backed up in the biggest game of his career to date.
His forward influence was in full swing on the day, contributing to 13 scores, kicking three goals himself and dishing out two more en route to an awe-inspiring grand final berth.
