Dustin Martin Nears 300th AFL Game for Richmond

Dustin Martin is nearing his 300th AFL game for Richmond, a milestone he will reach if he plays in exactly two of the next three games.

The Tigers are keen to have him celebrate this achievement at the MCG.

The team needs Martin to miss exactly one of the next three AFL games to play his 300th game in the yellow and black at the MCG.

If he plays every possible upcoming game, Martin will reach 300 away from home against the Crows at Adelaide Oval.

The Tigers are currently languishing at 17th on the ladder amidst an injury crisis, with first-year coach Adem Yze having only 27 fit players to choose from.

The team may need Martin to ensure they can field a full side in the coming weeks.

Martin is in the last season of his seven-year, multimillion-dollar deal and has endured arguably the most modest run of form of his career.

He has been linked to a move to the Gold Coast Suns, but a contract extension at Richmond is not out of the question either.

Martin will refuse any interview opportunities ahead of his milestone game, but will appear in a photo with the five living Richmond 300-gamers.

The photo will include former teammates Trent Cotchin, Jack Riewoldt, and Shane Edwards, as well as past greats Kevin Bartlett, Francis Bourke, and Wayne Campbell.

Dustin Martin's milestone game is expected to be a significant event for the Tigers and their fans.

The team's injury crisis and Martin's uncertain future plans have added complexity to the celebrations.

As of now, Martin has played 297 games for Richmond, with his 300th game potentially being a home match at the MCG.
