Dustin Martin has banished the idea that he is done as a force in the AFL, putting on a show as Richmond took it to Essendon before falling short by 12 points in the Dreamtime clash at the MCG. The 32-year-old superstar has been in the spotlight for his performances this season with the discussions often veering towards his leadership and retirement. But with his 300th game on the horizon Martin sent a timely reminder of his talents in Saturday night’s blockbuster.

“That power is back, and it’s obviously really helped by the way in which Richmond are playing.” Burgoyne noted: “When they play fast footy he’s at his most dangerous. He’s getting up the ground and ripping back.” Richmond’s hopes of victory were dealt a blow when Shai Bolton copped friendly fire in the form of a Mykelti Lefau knee to the back of the head and missed the finish.
