AFL grand final 2024: Richmond Tigers legend Dustin Martin skips retiring players parade

Richmond superstar Dustin Martin did not take part in the retiring players parade on grand final day as speculation around a move to Gold Coast continues to swirl.

The three-time Norm Smith medallist retired before the end of this season, but did not join other members of the class in the cavalcade.

Mystery still surrounds where he will play next year, with the Tigers legend reportedly in early talks to join his premiership coach at the Suns.

Martin also skipped the Brownlow Medal on Monday night.

He was celebrated at Richmond’s final home game of the year alongside fellow retirees, including Marlion Pickett.

West Coast champion Andrew Gaff circled the MCG with former Hawthorn and Port Adelaide forward Chad Wingard.

Geelong pair Tom Hawkins and Zach Tuohy, Dyson Heppell and Rory Sloane and Tigers premiership duo Dylan Grimes and Brandon Ellis were also a part of the parade.

Olympic and Paralympic medallists, including Ariarne Titmus, Mollie O’Callaghan, Col Pearce and Alexa Leary were also included.
