Dustin Martin has been ruled out of Sunday afternoon’s match with Carlton at the MCG, with promising youngster Jack Ross coming in to take his place.

Martin will miss the clash with soreness.

Strong midfielder Ross will return for his sixth senior appearance this year.

The first-year talent played five consecutive AFL games earlier this season before suffering an ankle syndesmosis injury in Round 8.

Ross returned through Richmond’s VFL side last weekend and had a solid outing with 12 possessions across one half.

Ryan Garthwaite will replace Ross as an emergency for the match.
