I haven't seen anything yet, probably because the game finished so lateYou the best! What about actual disposals etc?
I'm going to keep an eye on Wang'Era.Young didnt inspire much confidence....
Not sure what to do with him now
Scratch Match ....don't read too much into it ....FREO were trying different players thru the midfield, as all teams have beenYoung didnt inspire much confidence....
Not sure what to do with him now
1. Liam Ryan - Returned to training in November before senior players were required back and after two hamstring surgeries last year, he began by working away from the main group. Looked in reasonable physical shape, though after such a long time without properly running his fitness base definitely needed work. Nevertheless as December wore on he did more and more with the main group and by the time players returned in January he was nearly back in full training. Didn't last very long though before injuring his other hamstring tendon at training on Jan 15 and undergoing surgery. Was reported that he'd miss 10-12 weeks and it seems he's well on track with that timeline. Started running again in early Feb and is currently still building his running loads - appears on track to return in the first month of the season. Does a lot of his rehab work with our indigenous liason officer Chance Bateman.Okay, so with our first competitive hitout against proper opposition getting underway this Saturday against Fremantle, I thought it would be a good idea to review how each player's preseason has gone thus far.
Having watched a lot of training sessions over summer, this is how I've seen things player by player:
(Disclaimer: this is a VERY long post and one I've been typing up across a few days now. Nobody should read it all (unless you're really interested of course) but feel free to skip to any players you're interested in to see how they've gone.
I've put it in spoiler chunks so it doesn't take up your whole page if you're not interested. Also note that this is just one nuffy's point of view - though I've tried to be fairly objective in my write-ups.
Does any of this mean much when the real stuff starts? Debatable. But I've watched training a lot over summer so figured I may as well collate what I've seen into one post).
Spoiler: Players 1-10
11. Tim Kelly - A fairly standard summer for Kelly - he's done what he needs to and is moving well. Returned to training earlier than required, looked in good shape and was in full training until a minor hamstring strain on Jan 17. Over the next 3-4 weeks he gradually began integrating back in with the main group and match sim, and by now he's back in full training again.Spoiler: Players 11-20
21. Jack Petruccelle - It's been a strong summer for Petch who looks ready to take another step this year. Was managed a bit through December but since returning from the Christmas break he's been in full training. Looks stronger, skilful, is running to the right places and generally looks a smarter footballer than years gone by. Has primarily been training with the forwards but does sometimes move up the ground and through the midfield during competitive work, and has produced some good line-breaking plays on a few occasions. Looks a likely Round 1 starter.Spoiler: Players 21-30
31. Jamaine Jones - Has looked outstanding at stages this preseason but has also been hampered by a few niggles. Was up the front of the running groups in Nov/Dec alongside the likes of Ginbey which is generally a good indication of a high level of fitness, though in mid-December he and Ginbey's training loads were wound right back. Still not sure what Jones' issue was, though after the Christmas break he was back in full training again. Was a standout in the match sim on Jan 24 with his run and dash out of defence. On Feb 5 the club reported Jones was dealing with groin soreness, though in the same week as that announcement he played a full game of match sim, so it must have been very minor. Sat out the intraclub on Feb 17 with a minor hip issue, though it seems this isn't a major concern. Hopefully we see him in full flight again soon because I think he's got a lot to offer us when fit.Spoiler: Players 31-40
41. Ryan Maric - Has built really nicely into this preseason and is flying at the moment. Hasn't missed a beat injury-wise and looks a bit bigger than last season. Has still retained his speed and agility (which by the way is pretty impressive for his height) despite his added weight. As the competitive work has ramped up over the last few weeks Maric has really lifted - been regularly kicking multiple goals in match sim and gets himself involved in a lot of other scoring passages where his footy smarts come to the fore. As I've mentioned he seems to be locked in a battle with Waterman for the final tall forward spot in the side, and though both are in good touch, I've probably got Maric just ahead at the moment. A month ago I would've said Waterman though so it can easily change again. It's unclear the way the club sees it - both have spent time on both the 'A' and 'B' teams in match sim. Great to have some proper selection pressure up forward, may it continue.Spoiler: Players 40-49
Spoiler: Others

In breaking News though .....Orazio Fantasia gets to run onto the field tomorrow ....I cannot make any predictions after that ......may the Gods of Fortune be with him
I really like Hustwaite and also what Mitchell had to say pre game about him on SEN, sounds like he likes him.Keen on Massimo and Hustwaite in my team but by most reports on the Hawks board, both look pretty fringe best 22. Who do the Hawks guys on here think will make way for Day and when is Day due back? Can you pick either or both of these two guys with any confidence?

Surely you give both the licence to distribute?Massimos role is a bit iffy too coz Amon didn't play.
Wait till they unleash him in the middle…If you have Watson you might want to rethink that
Dusty at ffRichmond has named its 26-man team for Tuesday night's Charity Shield practice match against Collingwood at Ikon Park.
Dylan Grimes, Dustin Martin, Liam Baker and Tim Taranto will also take the field after not featuring in last Sunday's match simulation against Melbourne at Casey Fields.
Rhyan Mansell (syndesmosis), Nick Vlastuin (managed) and Sam Banks (calf tightness) will miss tomorrow's match at Ikon Park, as will captain Toby Nankervis with foot soreness.
Richmond's four emergencies for the pre-season match are James Trezise, Maurice Rioli, Kane McAuliffe and Hugo Ralphsmith.

Is Nank going to be out long enough to make Naismith worth starting?Never seen a Tigers team sheet before? Shane Edwards was listed at CHF for most of his career haha

Steely got a gig, above screenshot has the last 2 cut off the 8 man bench. Lefau the other one.
