While Richmond had remained confident it would retain its explosive young forward-midfielder, negotiations stalled with the player's manager suggesting he was fielding offers from as many as four other clubs.

Club and player in recent months were reportedly separated by more than $100,000, with Martin's manager Ralph Carr demanding about $600,000 a season for his player.
