‘Your purpose needs to change’: AFL greats assess new era for Dusty, Tigers after ‘painful’ result

Two of the AFL’s most accomplished figures in the modern era have shed light on what a new era at Richmond will look like short term, as it continues its transition through an inevitable rebuild.

“I spoke to Trent a bit about this actually; when you’ve been in a club for a really long time and all of a sudden they’re going nowhere near as well as they’d like to be going… you wish you could help, but also you have to go ‘hey, it’s someone else’s turn now’ – that’s probably that struggle inside myself.

“How can you possibly help with his coaching and buy-in, and setting up the Richmond Football Club for five to ten years.” The future of two of Richmond’s best players is up in the air, for multiple reasons When asked by AFL 360 panellist Mark Robinson about Martin’s future, Riewoldt said he had ‘no idea’, and instead looked forward to seeing him play his 300th game; paying tribute to a player who ‘had a massive impact on my career and life’.

“When you’ve been successful and you’re going through a decline - and they haven’t reached the bottom in that particular journey - it becomes about the club.”
