Richmond has put in an eyebrow-raising entry for a key event on AFL Grand Final day.
Richmond has put in an eyebrow-raising entry for a key event on AFL Grand Final day.
In the space of only five weeks, a retired 36-year-old ruck has become an important cog in Richmond’s AFLW finals push.
Dustin Martin will be asked to convince the Gold Coast of his desire to play on as the details of a potential contract offer come to light. JON RALPH has more.
If Dustin Martin does move to the Suns, he’s not Dusty the Deserter, he doesn’t owe the Tiger army anything, writes Jon Ralph. But there’s a key question the legend must answer.
Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper were supposed to help keep Richmond in premiership contention under Damien Hardwick. Taranto tells GLENN MCFARLANE about embracing the rebuild and the day after Hardwick’s shock exit.
Richmond coach Adem Yze wants more transparency over player movement but has hit out at speculation over a Tigers star.
Despite the Tigers lowly ladder position, Tim Taranto has no regrets about his move from GWS to Punt Road, and is hopeful his star teammates stay for the rebuild.
Richmond are on track to finish 18th for the first time but by trading a couple of aging premiership stars, they could walk into this year’s draft with an epic hand of picks.
Veteran AFL reporter Caroline Wilson has sparked debate after calling for Suns coach to follow his own advice in the pursuit of Dustin Martin.
Richmond are last on the ladder, but coach Adem Yze says it won’t force him to rush back injured stars although the Tigers remain intent on winning games.
The Tigers started fast over in the west, but it didn’t take Fremantle long to seize control. And the result leaves Adem Yze’s side in uncharted territory.
The noise around Dustin Martin’s future grows louder by the day but his coach has decided there’s only one way to handle the situation.
