Dustin Martin, yet again, has proven to be a season statistics standout for Richmond.
A thorough statistical analysis of the Club’s playing group for the 2020 premiership season shows Martin featuring in the top five of the key categories more than any other Tiger.
This year’s Jack Dyer Medal winner Jayden Short, however, is equal with the record three-time Norm Smith Medallist in terms of No. 1 rankings, both having seven.
Martin’s name appears 18 time in the 23 specific categories, rising Richmond star Shai Bolton is next best on 14, followed by Short and Kane Lambert with 10 apiece and then captain Trent Cotchin and Nick Vlastuin on nine.
