Dustin Martin, who announced his retirement last month, is in discussions with the Gold Coast Suns about continuing his AFL career in 2025. Despite his emotional farewell to Tigers fans and a career hampered by injuries, Martin has shown interest in reuniting with former Richmond coach Damien Hardwick. The Suns are assessing his motivation and may offer a significantly reduced contract. This potential move could impact Richmond's negotiations involving another player, Daniel Rioli. Martin's management and the Suns have confirmed preliminary talks, but no final decision has been made.
