Richmond coach Adem Yze today confirmed that Dustin Martin would not play in Thursday night’s clash against Adelaide in Adelaide.
The 32-year-old, who has featured in Richmond’s past eight games, will instead be managed.
“The decision’s sort of been made for us," Yze said in his press conference on Tuesday morning.
"He’s a bit crook today. We’ve only got one training session.
"It was always going to be based on how he got through today, but he’s actually ill today, so that’s taken out of our hands.
“He’ll miss this weekend and the silver lining to that is the fact that he’ll get to play his 300th in front of our crowd against the Hawks next week.
“We’re disappointed that he’s not available for this week, but for our supporters and our Tiger Army, they’ll get to see him (play his 300th next week), which will be great.”
Richmond’s Round 14 clash at the MCG is against Hawthorn at 4.35pm.
