RICHMOND has been given 14 days to deal with a damages claim by former player John Rombotis before he starts legal proceedings against the club.
The notice sent to the Tigers claims that the nature of the injury Rombotis, 25, suffered to his right shoulder in Round 2 last year was such that he was unlikely to play AFL in ''the foreseeable future''. There has been mention of what could be permanent disability.
Other claims are made in relation to the injury. Rombotis was delisted at the end of last season.
Lawyer Eugene Arocca -- of Maurice Blackburn Cashman -- has told the Tigers it was the firm's view that Rombotis, who also played with Fitzroy and Port Adelaide, was entitled to damages, loss of income and medical costs.
