Hopeful for season opener
Martin is hopeful to be ready for Richmand's season opener against Carlton next month after sitting out the team's intra-club match Saturday due to an adductor injury, The Age reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin missed the final five games of last season due to a serious kidney injury, but is reportedly in good shape and recovered. His current hip injury is currently not considered serious, but it will need to be monitored as the season approaches.

In hospital with kidney injury
Martin (ribs) remains in the hospital for precautionary reasons after injuring his kidney in Friday's game against the Lions, The Age reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin did not fly back to Victoria with his teammates following Friday's game. The injury occured while he was gathering a loose ball midway through the third quarter. The Tigers' coach, Damien Hardwick, appears optimistic about the injury and expects him to be available for the team's next match against Geelong. However, it remains to be seen if that will actually be the case.

Suffers rib injury in win
Martin suffered a rib injury during Friday's 106-86 win over Brisbane in Round 18, according to Jon Ralph of the Herald Sun on the Fox broadcast.
ANALYSIS
Martin is one of the more durable players in the league but couldn't even lift his arms above his head due to the pain of his injury. It's still unclear exactly what has happened, so more tests are needed to see if he'll miss no time, one week, or longer.

27 disposals, three goals in win
Martin netted 27 disposals, five clearances, four marks and three goals and tackles each Saturday as Richmond knocked off Essendon 123-84 at Optus Stadium.
ANALYSIS
Martin bested 20 touches for the fourth time in five showings, matched a season-high for clearances and logged his third multi-goal game of 2021 in Saturday's victory. The 29-year old closes out the first week of June having recorded his first 100-point fantasy performance in four appearances and now averaging 84.8 points a game for the year as the AFL's No. 17 for median fantasy score among league forwards.

Integral in win
Martin scored four goals and two behinds to go with 28 disposals (16 kicks, 12 handballs) from Saturday's 87-83 win over GWS.
ANALYSIS
Martin went six rounds between 100-point fantasy scores and his production was essential to coming away with a high win. With the Tigers still struggling to find a regular groove, it's worth being careful with Martin, especially while his club remains short of some of its best players due to injury.
