RICHMOND superstar Dustin Martin has added to his massively burgeoning trophy cabinet, winning the 2017 AFLCA Gary Ayres Award for the best player in the finals.

"I congratulate Dustin on an awesome season," Gary Ayres said in announcing the award on Monday.

"He performed at an extraordinary level, all the time under the pressure of his contract and Brownlow favouritism once Paddy Dangerfield was suspended. If anything, it seemed to me he lifted his game in the finals series.

"Well done to the young man."
