Dustin Martin takes personal leave

Dustin Martin has taken personal leave.

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick says he’s “unsure” whether the champion midfielder will play against GWS on Sunday.

Martin’s father died over the off-season and he’s also been recovering from a debilitating kidney injury at the end of last season.

Hardwick said on Thursday the “number one priority” was Martin’s health and well-being.
