Martin, Baker likely to return as Tigers make changes

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick is set to make three to four changes for his side's clash with St Kilda on Saturday.

Tigers star Dusty Martin should be fit to return from a rib injury while utility Liam Baker will also return after heading to Western Australia for a family matter last week.

Hardwick said form was the main reason for the changes, with several players playing well in their reserves' scratch matches.

"He trained Tuesday, he will train today and our information is he will play," Hardwick said on Martin.

The Tigers will continue to monitor his rib problem and Martin was at training on Thursday morning.

"The week off no doubt helped him," Hardwick said. "He's such an important player for us, with the way we play."

Hardwick said Baker was missed during last week's loss to Hawthorn.

"He will play his week, we missed Liam last week as he's very important to the way we structure up and the way we play."
