It's getting serious for the Tigers

With Martin almost certain to be suspended, the Tigers could be without their big four for round four's crunch away match against Port Adelaide.

The season is slipping away for Richmond even at this early stage. A solid win against the lowly Carlton in round one was followed by way-off-the-pace losses to Collingwood and the Giants.

Save for the opening bounce, captain Trent Cotchin didn't take part in the final quarter of the bad loss to GWS because of a hamstring complaint, and is a highly doubtful starter.

Alex Rance and Jack Riewoldt are already out long-term. The strongly built Jack Ross, the no.43 pick in last year's national draft, could make his debut against the Power.

After the Port clash, the Tigers have Sydney (Marvel), Melbourne on Anzac Day Eve (MCG) and the Western Bulldogs (Marvel). If they don't win at least two of those four, it's going to get very difficult, very quickly.
