Carlton’s Jack Martin is in some doubt for Thursday night’s season-opener against Richmond.
SEN’s Chief Sports Reporter Sam Edmund understands that Martin is experiencing calf tightness and is no certainty to take his place in the Blues’ line-up to face the reigning premiers.
Carlton quartet Harry McKay (ankle), Jacob Weitering (hip), Levi Casboult (knee) and Jack Newnes (ankle) are also under injury clouds for Round 1.
Mitch McGovern (back) and Zac Williams (suspended) will miss the Tigers clash.
Blues veteran Eddie Betts is available after overcoming a calf complaint.
Jack Martin now in some sort of doubt for Carlton with calf tightness. A lot of intrigue surrounding this Blues Rnd 1 lineup. McKay, Weitering, Casboult, Betts, Newnes etc all with clouded build-ups. Williams suspended, McGovern out and now they’ve got a medical sub to name.
