Tiger trouble: Dustin Martin out of Richmond side to face Hawks

Richmond have produced a shock on teams night, with superstar midfielder Dustin Martin injured and out of the side to face Hawthorn on Thursday night.
The 28-year-old Brownlow medallist is one of two changes for the premiers, with Liam Baker omitted for personal reasons.
Jack Ross has been selected for his first game since round 22 last year while Josh Caddy returns after missing last Thursday’s draw with Collingwood due to a minor calf problem.
The Hawks have recalled Jaeger O’Meara after he recovered from a facial fracture, with Harry Morrison omitted.
Martin’s omission from the Richmond side comes as a shock after he trained in the team’s light session on Wednesday.
But the Tigers have opted against risking his ‘reasonably minor’ rib bruising after he pulled up sore last weekend.
However, it’s understood Martin has been carrying the issue since at least the start of the month and underwent scans last week.
He played 84 per cent against the Pies in the first AFL game since March, picking up 20 disposals and laying four tackles.
His absence - combined with O’Meara’s return - will be welcomed by Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson after he branded his midfield “fourth rate” after a heavy defeat to Geelong.

Mark Stevens just now on Ch 7 news said there's no guarantees Dusty will be right for round 4.
He also added it's a blow because Richmond has had a dream run with the injuries ::). Stevo, you must have missed the first half of last year and us losing Rance for the season and then for good.

When your stars miss other players tend to step up as they know the safety net is gone.
-
Love Dusty but honestly not worried about losing him for a week or two. Need him properly fit and Hawks looked weak as P last game vs GWS.
Makes us less predictable anyway.
-
Would like Dusty to play round 4 as round 5 is v West Coast at Metricon

Didn't we best Carlton late last year minus Dusty and Cotch.
Weren't we up 40-4 in that game ??

Pretty sure we beat Port over there without both of them
