Dustin Martin and his Richmond Tigers teammates reportedly partied till the break of dawn after a historic grand final victory on Saturday night.
And the heavily tattooed AFL star looked every bit a Melbourne hero as he led his entourage past a queue waiting to get into an exclusive inner-city nightclub.
The 26-year-old, flanked by a selection of teammates and VIP friends, made a beeline for the bouncers and ushered his crew straight through the club's front door.

Martin's manager Ralph Carr and retired AFL player Michael Gardiner were among some of the high-profile guests waltzing through the entrance of Bond Bar.
Not everyone appeared to be pleased with Martin's star treatment, with dozens of fans decked in Richmond colours left waiting outside in the cold.
One man, identified as Caulfield horse trainer Clinton McDonald, was even given a trademark 'don't argue' fend from Martin after trying to creep in with his group.
Photographs from inside the club showed Martin spraying a $1,500 bottle of champagne into a sweaty crowd of revellers.

The wild night of partying didn't go unnoticed the next day either, with Martin and his teammates looking worse for wear on stage on Sunday morning.
While the yellow and black guernsey he'd worn the day before was still on, the Tigers star hid most of his tattoos beneath a long sleeve jumper.
His famous haircut was also hidden beneath a black hat, but there was no hiding the fact he'd indulged into the early hours of the morning with his teammates.
Putting his hands on his head and sighing deeply, the cult figure was clearly feeling the effects of a big night of partying as he stood in front of thousands of fans flooding into Punt Road for a second day of celebrations.

DUSTY MARTIN cleaned up every award on the “footy field” and then don’t argued a best on ground in grand final partying.
Page 13 got our hands on some red hot footage of the Brownlow Medallist in all his BOG form at Bond Bar.

Pumping up a packed crowd standing on the bar, the Richmond demi-God sprayed champagne over the “Dusty, Dusty” chanting mob like a seasoned GP driver.
He then necks the rest straight from the bottle like a boss.
And not just any champers.
Dusty has the Midas touch and a Midas credit card, splurging on five bottles of Dom Perignon at the city hot spot after their mighty premiership win at the MCG.
