28 December 2017RICHMONDPre-season so far: Daniel Rioli is the main concern for the club, which had a great run with injuries in 2017. The small forward suffered a broken left foot in the Grand Final and will have surgery again after Christmas to have metal plates removed. He is in doubt for round one. Fellow premiership players Dion Prestia (ankle), Kane Lambert (knee) and David Astbury (shoulder) also had operations over the break, while Jayden Short and Oleg Markov went under the knife for shoulder issues. Superstar Dustin Martin went overseas with Collingwood champion Dane Swan on a trip that caused plenty of headlines, but was spotted at the club before he was due back in a sign he is preparing for another massive season.
