Dustin Martin has been subject to an insanely strong string of trade speculation stories in the press this week following Richmond coach Damien Hardwick stating that he would not stand in the way of the champion seeking further challenges away from Punt Road. The piece missing from this puzzle is any indication that Dusty himself wants to leave - he may have just finished a personal absence at the club but that sounded more like it was about his dad than anything negative at Tigerland. His demeanour onfield hasn't changed, so hoping for a contractual boost seems unlikely.
