CARLTON has been dealt a blow with enforcer Mitch Robinson substituted out of the match after a heavy knock to the head.
Robinson's head smashed into the MCG turf in attempted marking contest midway through the second quarter.
The hard-nosed midfielder launched himself into the contest colliding with Richmond forward Tyrone Vickery head-on.
Robinson landed heavily on his head and face prompting medicos to run from all angles.
Carlton coach Mick Malthouse wasted no time substituting Robinson out of the match with Aaron Jospeh taking his place.
The Blues have 20 minutes under the AFL's new concussion rule to endorse Jospeh as it's substitute should Robinson be passed fit to play.
Carlton star Bryce Gibbs has been cleared after hobbling off the ground with a leg injury.
Sports medical expert Peter Larkins ruled Robinson out for the remainder of the match.
"I'm not expecting Mitch Robinson to come back," he told Channel 7 at half-time.
"I think he was knocked out... I'm not expecting him to clear the (concussion) test, it didn't look good to me."
But Larkins said Gibbs was fine after jarring his right knee in a contest possibly hyper-extending his posterior cruciate ligament.
"He seemed to move pretty freely in the last five to six minutes."
Richmond leads Carlton by 38 points 9.14 (68) to 4.6 (30).
