Richmond great Matthew Richardson has delivered a heartwarming tribute towards Dustin Martin following his retirement announcement today.

Richo said he was a “little bit sad” this morning, but those feelings went away pretty quickly when reflecting on Martin’s illustrious career, which has brought the club three premierships with three Norm Smith Medals to go with it.

“I just thought about all of the joy that he’s brought to myself as a Richmond supporter and all of the Richmond army out there,” he told Jacqui Felgate on 3AW Drive.

Press PLAY to hear his full tribute including where he ranks amongst past Richmond greats and whether a Dusty statue should be built at Punt Road!
