Richmond star Dustin Martin has seen his suspension halved by the AFL Tribunal, after the Tigers successfully downgraded his two-match ban to a one-match suspension.

Martin was initially hit with a two-match ban for making contact with GWS Giant Adam Kennedy that was deemed high, intentional and with medium impact.

However, the Tigers were able to argue the impact was low rather than medium, which will see him miss just this weekend's clash with Port Adelaide at the Adelaide Oval.
