Richmond superstar Dustin Martin became the 17th player in the Club’s league football history to kick five goals or more in a final with his brilliant six-goal haul in last Saturday night’s qualifying final victory over Brisbane at the Gabba.
It was the 34th time a Tiger had accomplished the feat, and the highest goal tally since Kevin Bartlett’s seven goals and David Cloke’s six goals in the 1980 Grand Final triumph over Collingwood.
