Nathan Brown reveals his Richmond 'passengers list'. (Nine)
Hardwick went on to say that he was disappointed his Tigers side wasn't offering more help to Martin. On that point, Brown agreed; referring back to a "passenger list" he drew up for the Richmond side.
The list, aired on Wednesday night's The Footy Show, included Dion Prestia, Brandon Ellis, Jason Castagna, David Astbury, Kane Lambert, Dan Butler, Kamdyn McIntosh and Jack Graham. Only Prestia and Lambert were given q pass mark for their effort against GWS.
"How good a ride some Richmond players have had on the back of some superstars," Brown said.
"Now [Alex] Rance is out, now [Jack] Riewoldt's out, now [Trent] Cotchin will be out ... I said these eight players were the ones I expected to step up and fill the void, and they needed to play some really good footy. I only gave two a tick yesterday, two out of the eight.
"Prestia was good, Lambert I think will become their No.1 midfielder this year. Those other guys there, they need to lift.
"They're senior players who can have an influence in the game and they're the ones that, Richmond, if they're going to play finals or even deep into September, those guys there, they need to lift."
