Dustin Martin is one of the most popular and richest Australian Rules Footballer who was born on June 26, 1991 in Castlemaine, Australia. AFL centre who made a name for himself as a member of the Richmond Tigers, becoming an AFL Rising Star nominee in his rookie season. In 2012 he was named to the AFL Players Association 22under22 team as one of the league’s finest young players.

He has been teammates with Trent Cotchin at Richmond.

With a new contract signed Martin and his Tigers entered the finals in a top- four match-up with Geelong at the MCG. It was to be his first finals win, turning in a 28 disposal and arguably best-on-ground performance to see Richmond through to its first preliminary final since 2001. He put in another strong performance in the match two weeks later, forgoing midfield minutes in favour of time up forward where he kicked three goals in his side’s 36-point win over Greater Western Sydney. Before he could play in the grand final however, Martin was to face the spotlight off-field at the Brownlow Medal count to award the league’s best and fairest player that season. He entered the night as an almost unbackable favourite to win the award on the back of ten matches where he was favourite to poll the maximum three votes. He ultimately recorded the maximum three votes on a record-breaking 11 matches and bested Patrick Dangerfield’s 2016 sum to set a new record with 36 total votes to win the award. Dangerfield finished with the next most votes (33) but was ineligible to win after being suspended in July for a dangerous tackle against Carlton. As a result, Martin’s runner-up Tom Mitchell finished a full 11 points behind with 25 votes total. Days later Martin would lead his team to a grand final match-up with minor-premiers Adelaide. After a tight first half, Richmond ran over the top of Adelaide in the second, securing a 37-year drought breaking premiership with a 48-point victory in front of more than one hundred thousand spectators at the MCG. Martin was best-on-field in the win, recording 29 disposals, a staggering 21 contested possessions and two goals. He was awarded the Norm Smith Medal as a result, and thus became the first player in league history to win the award and a premiership in the same year as receiving the Brownlow Medal.

At an earlier age Martin was overlooked for state representative football, missing out on the 2007 under 16 national championships as well as at the under 18 carnival the next year. Martin did however play for Victoria Country in the 2009 AFL Under 18 Championships, averaging 21.4 touches, 7.2 contested possessions and 0.8 goals in the five games he played. In the final match of the competition, he recorded twenty-eight disposals and five clearances against Western Australia. He was rewarded for his efforts at the championships with a selection at centre in the tournament’s All-Australian team.

His mother Kathy is from Australia. His father Shane is Maori and from New Zealand. He dated model Elissa Burns.

In the first week of the finals series, Martin played his 200th AFL match in a qualifying final victory over Hawthorn. He became the 29th Richmond player to achieve the milestone and the quickest to do so, having achieved the feat eight years and five months after his initial debut. He finished the match with 29 disposals, 10 clearances and a boundary line goal that The West Australian said would have been goal of the year had it been kicked during the home and away season and what Fox Footy commentator Jonathan Brown labelled “one of the greatest finals goals you’ll ever see”. Media reports following that match suggested that Martin had suffered a corked thigh during play, a claim seemingly supported by Martin’s limited training program the following week, but nonetheless continually denied by club officials at the time. Less than a week later the club reversed its position, revealing Martin had suffered a serious corked thigh on his kicking leg and was continuing to deal with the effects of bleeding on the knee. Despite the injury, Martin played in what would be a shock preliminary final loss to Collingwood which saw Richmond’s season ended. He produced a significantly reduced output, finishing the match with just 19 disposals, six of which were kicks and represented his lowest kicking tally since round 23, 2013. Following the conclusion of the 2018 finals series, Martin was named by the Herald Sun’s chief football writer Mark Robinson as the league’s second best midfielder and the fourth best player overall, during the 2018 season. After winning the award in each of the previous two seasons, Martin placed third in the club’s best and fairest count behind only Kane Lambert and eventual winner Jack Riewoldt.
