Dustin Martin has been ruled out of Sunday's Round 3 clash against Sydney with calf soreness.
Coach Adem Yze confirmed to media on Friday morning that Martin was still managing a recent calf issue, which saw him miss the Tigers' Opening Round clash against Gold Coast.

"Dusty's going to miss this week," Yze said.
"He's had an interrupted week, he's had an interrupted couple of weeks with his calf. He didn't train the other day. He will only do a little bit today.
"We've got to break the pattern of him getting through week to week.
"We're going to break that cycle this week and give him a light week so that he's pain free.
"His first half last week was terrific but you can see that he still gets a bit sore."
Yze said he expects Martin to be available for next week's Gather Round clash with St Kilda.
