Richmond‘s star player Dustin Martin‘s back injury during the recent game against Carlton has raised questions about his future with the Tigers. Head coach Adem Yze expressed concerns over Martin’s fitness, hinting at possible rest periods in upcoming matches.

Martin, who had a minimal impact on the game and was subbed out for Sam Banks, recorded one of his lowest career tallies before experiencing back spasms midway through the match.

Yze mentioned the team’s cautious approach due to upcoming interstate games against Fremantle and Adelaide, highlighting the need for Martin to recover efficiently.

Speculations about Martin’s longevity in the team surfaced after former player and commentator, Garry Lyon, pointed out the veteran player’s recent struggles and the inevitable effects of age on performance.

In the midst of Martin’s injury woes, Carlton’s Patrick Cripps showcased stellar form, further solidifying his reputation as a key player for the Blues. Cripps’ dominant display against Richmond underlined his importance to the team.

The Blues’ victory over the Tigers was also attributed to strong performances by players like Toby Nankervis, Sam Walsh, and Charlie Curnow, despite a late scare in Curnow’s goal-scoring streak.

With speculations surrounding Martin’s playing future at Richmond, the team’s management faces a crucial decision in balancing his fitness and the team’s performance in the upcoming fixtures.
