Dustin Martin (ankle): Took some steps back into training on Wednesday after being sent off to the rehab group after a minor ankle tweak. Should recover in time to face Collingwood.

Tom Lynch (foot): Unlikely for pre-season matches but the big forward has been running on grass and is still hopeful of playing in opening round.

Josh Gibcus (hamstring): The youngster has lifted to be included in almost all of training after a slow build to nurse through his worrisome hamstring. Should be cherry ripe for some pre-season action.

Jack Ross (toe): Off-season toe surgery has put the brakes on the winger’s pre-season, he is still building up fitness so is touch and go for a pre-season meeting with Collingwood.

Shai Bolton (ankle): No worries for Bolton, he had ankle surgery post-season but is back in full training.

Dylan Grimes (calf): The veteran is taking it easy and among the rehab group at the Tigers but club CEO Brendon Gale reckons he will play in opening round. Whether he faces Collingwood on February 27 is yet to be seen.

Well done to Meehan

 

[lizard man]

What about cumbo? I thought I heard he was injured? What’s going on there?

 

[TigerImposter]

Meehan on top of everything atm as that looks like a positive outlook with nothing too serious. I know Lynch and Gibcus missed basically all of last year , but I don’t think we were going anywhere last year so giving them time to heal may actually work in our favour for this season.

Lynch continues to work his way back from the foot injury that derailed his 2023 season while Grimes has been nursing a calf niggle this pre-season.

“‘Lynchy’ is making good progress now,” Gale offered.

“When he joined us at the end of ‘18 for ‘19, it didn’t look like he was going to be available for the early rounds of ‘19 at all. But in the last week or two he just really progressed and played Round 1 against Carlton and had an impact.

“He’s coming on, he’s making really good progress, so we’ve got high hopes that Tommy will be available.

“‘Grimesy’ has had a few little niggles. He knows his body, he’s got great awareness and he’s putting a lot of effort into his preparation.

“He’s a warrior. He’ll be available, he’ll be good.”

suffered a minor hamstring injury in Wednesday night’s match simulation.

The 31-year-old will not play in the Club’s hit-out against Melbourne on February 18. However, he remains a chance to feature in the Community Series match against Collingwood on February 26.

Richmond Physical Performance Manager Luke Meehan said the injury was minor and would only restrict Prestia from training fully for the short term.

“Dion unfortunately had some hamstring awareness early in Wednesday’s match simulation, which, following scans, we have decided will require a short rehabilitation period,” he said.

“We anticipate he will be back training fully in a couple of weeks."

Richmond’s Opening Round clash with Gold Coast is on March 9.

Dion Prestia injury update

Dion Prestia will train away from the main group for the short term following a minor hamstring injury.

He would never have played both rd.1 and 2 because they are 5 days apart, so setting him for rd.2 only makes sense.

Tigers spearhead out of reunion with Hardwick; Oliver in doubt for first round

Richmond will be without Tom Lynch for their reunion with former coach Damien Hardwick, who is now trying to steer Gold Coast to their maiden finals berth.

www.theage.com.au

“My foot and bone’s completely healed – it’s just getting conditioning [that it needs]. Clearly, I haven’t run for nine months, so I need to get a lot of miles back in my leg. If we wanted to really push, we’d get up for that Round Zero, but we want to get myself playing the whole year ... I’ll be cherry ripe once I get out there.”

Then the next week...

"Look, Tom just hasn't come up for Round 1. We didn't want to risk him, considering he hasn't played for 12 months."

He been two weeks away for 12 months now. Poor campaigner has probably played his last game.
