Valuable veteran Richmond midfielder Shaun Grigg has paid tribute to, and provided an interesting insight into, his good mate Dustin Martin on the eve of the Tiger superstar reaching the AFL 200-game milestone in Thursday night’s qualifying final against Hawthorn at the MCG.
“A lot of people don’t see it, but the amount of work he puts in is incredible,” Grigg said on this week’s edition of the Club’s official podcast ‘Talking Tigers’.
“Probably another thing people don’t see, is how good of a teammate he is behind closed doors and at training, how much he helps the younger guys, and how much he wants to get better. And he just loves winning.
“People, from the outside, would think he rocks up, he’s a rock star, dominates, and goes home. But there’s so much more to him that we love.”
Grigg also highlighted the unselfish nature of Martin’s play.
“He passes off a lot of goals. He could easily kick them himself, but handballs them off, brings guys in,” Grigg said.
