Martin and Hopper are expected to be available for the Tigers' round four clash against the Western Bulldogs.

Jayden Short (calf) was ruled out on Monday for Richmond, which is already without the likes of Robbie Tarrant (hip), Ivan Soldo (foot) and Josh Gibcus (hamstring).

Richmond will also be without Nathan Broad, who was handed a four-game ban for his sling tackle on Crow Patrick Parnell.

The Tigers face a high-flying Collingwood side which has impressively won its opening two games, while Richmond (one win, one draw) is also unbeaten through two rounds.
