Is Dusty Richmond's greatest ever player?

5 years ago

Channel 7 veteran commentator Bruce McAvaney believes Dustin Martin is Richmond’s great ever player.

When asked in the lead-up to the side’s clash with Geelong, McAvaney, who has been calling football since 1983, said Martin is the best player he has called in the yellow and black.

“I think it’s (Kevin) Bartlett, and it’s (Royce) Hart and it’s Dustin Martin (as Richmond’s best three),” he said.

“I didn’t see Jack Dyer or Jack Titus so it’s so difficult, but to me Dustin Martin is Richmond’s finest player.

“He’s the best player I have called in a Richmond jumper.

“I do (think he’s the greatest Tiger of all time). Two Norm Smith’s, a Brownlow Medal, 240-odd games, I think he’s the best Tiger of all-time.”

Martin has proven himself as an elite finals player, judged best afield in two Richmond Grand Final victories to go with the 2017 Brownlow Medal.
