Brett Deledio injury fears dismissed by Richmond, Shaun Grigg and Shane Edwards set to play Round 1

RICHMOND is adamant Brett Deledio will take on Carlton, denying he is battling a fresh injury only four days out from the season-opening blockbuster.
Deledio ran laps away from the main group at training on Sunday before consulting club officials and leaving the track early. He didn’t kick the ball once.
It came after Deledio was said to have left training early on Thursday, sparking rumours he’d suffered another soft tissue setback.
The influential vice-captain has battled persistent achilles and calf problems and his preparation for the 2016 season has been restricted to a half in Richmond’s last NAB Challenge game.
But the Tigers insisted their highly-decorated utility was simply being managed through the pre-season, in line with the club’s cautious approach in recent seasons.
But the doubts over Deledio come as the Tigers close in on confirming two shock inclusions for the Blues clash, with injured pair Shaun Grigg and Shane Edwards rapidly firming as chances to play.
Grigg has surprised the club after making a quick recovery from a broken thumb that was initially expected to sideline him until Round 2 or Round 3.
The midfielder, who had a plate inserted in his left thumb, completed the full session on Sunday wearing a glove on his left hand.
Edwards was cleared of major damage to the left shoulder injury suffered against Port Adelaide.
Despite “severe bruising” and “nerve swelling” he also got through training and appears set to go.
Speaking before training, defender Alex Rance said he expected Edwards to run out with him on Thursday.
“He ran a few laps the other day and he seems to be moving OK,” Rance said.
“The scans showed it was a bit better than we expected so fingers crossed he’ll be right to go.”
The defender said the spate of injuries suffered in the NAB 3 game against Port Adelaide was nothing to panic about.
Reece Conca (hamstring), cut down with Edwards and Grigg in the same match, will miss at least two months.
It was later revealed that recruit Chris Yarran would be out for six weeks with a plantar fascia injury.
“It was a bit of a perfect storm in a way, wasn’t it?” Rance said of the Power game.
“But we believe in the depth we’ve got at the club. Yeah, we’ve got a few injuries, but most clubs have injuries too and it’s just something you’ve got to cope with throughout the whole season. It’s nothing that’s worrying us too much.”
Rance, coming off a career-best year that saw him win the Tigers’ best and fairest and earn another All-Australian selection, said he wasn’t getting carried away.
“I can always improve, just ask ‘Dimma’ (coach Damien Hardwick),” he said.
“Especially (my) decision-making. It’s always been a knock on my game since my early days that I’d rush. So it’s about being calm and composed and also making others around me better.”

Richmond star Brett Deledio in doubt for round one
The Age
March 21, 2016
Pivotal Richmond star Brett Deledio is in doubt for the Tigers' season-opener against Carlton on Easter Thursday after missing a training session on Sunday.
The Tigers' mounting injury woes have been worsened by Deledio's injury, which is understood to be a soft-tissue problem. He has not been officially ruled out of Thursday's MCG blockbuster but it's believed he is also no certainty to play against Collingwood in round two.
Richmond held a family day at Punt Road Oval on Sunday morning but Deledio was absent from the club's open training session.
Deledio's importance to Richmond's side was underlined last year when he missed the early part of the season with a calf injury and lost four of their first six matches.

Rest him

Absolutely no point in rushing him back like a few years ago. We need him later on in the year

Deledio unlikely for season opener

Richmond utility Brett Deledio is unlikely to play in Thursday night’s AFL season-opener against Carlton.
The 28-year-old did not train with the main group at the Club’s open training session on Sunday.
Richmond’s General Manager of Football, Dan Richardson, said the Club would not take any risks ahead of Round 1.
“Brett has experienced some tightness in his quadriceps and was restricted to running laps yesterday,” Richardson said.
“He is unlikely to train for the full session tomorrow, meaning he will not be risked on Thursday night.”
More to come

;D

what a surprise - sick of the smoke and mirrors that continually comes out of punt road
-
Officially out for the match. Glad to see we aren't risking him this time
-
Injuries are funny, ox?
-
Ivan will miss as well
-
I reckon they are too cautious with players these days and restrict them to much. As soon as they push themselves they break down
He's only 28. He's not old. Should be able to do a full pre-season and not be managed

I was going to say the same - playing 1/2 a practice match in the lead up to rnd 1 seems a bit overly cautious, they've done this the past few seasons with Lids. Players need miles in their legs

Will they play hampson?
Ideal opp to play Vickery 1st ruck - but of course we wont - we'll go in with a half baked Hampdud, and a 1st gamer straight off the rookie list Chol
-
Watched training past 2 weeks
Hampson will ruck
Maric has hardly trained 😂
Couldn't possibly play
-
😂
-
Where is the panic button emoji.
-
With Maric out we should play Ty as the primary ruck. Can't see why he can't go up against Kreuzer. Unfortunately we'll see Hampson instead.
I think we're far from certainties.

Seriously shocking decision by the club not to pick up another ruck over summer.

But we have Vickery, Griffiths, McBean Chol, Soldo and the best of the lot of em Hamspud.
As far as ruckmen goes that is god awful. It is a claytons list. That is a list of ruckmen when you dont really have a list of ruckmen..
The truth of the matter is there is in reality only
Soldo a kid who is new to the game who is probably more likely to fail than make it and we wont know for yrs to come. And HAMSPUD who was a 7 yr dud before we even drafted him, as it has panned out his performances at carlton were unfortunately a true indicator of what we were getting.
Only at richmond would you go into a yr expecting top 4 with that lot as back up to Maric. We keep saying that about most areas.

It must seem plausible that such a button would exist for your type who simply go missing after losses (whereas the realists take the good with the bad). And stay the course.

Seriously, you constantly endorse him but he always plays like a bag of poop.

No excuses. 22 players will run out & if they want to get somewhere & a regular game. They must give it 100%
:gotigers

Or they can spud it up
And never get dropped :gotigers

All he needs to do is get his hand on the ball first
Was good in centre clearances against Port
No doubt with Miles back we should get first use of ball from clearances
Watched him train pre season
Make or break year
Has trained very well

Does the president of the realist group have his " I told you so " speech ready to go.
Should be a beauty Dooks. :gotigers

If my memory serves me correctly , Hamspud looked like half an AFL footballer against Carlton last year.
Lightning could strike twice.

Got a $ on break.
My 'mail' such as it is, is that Hampson is in his last year as far as RFC is concerned (surprise!) - obviously barring the unlikely scenario that he shoots himself into AA contention... which he won't...
There were so many ruckmen up for grabs after last season I can't believe we didn't grab a single cheapy...

Fair enough. I agree that he's a good tap ruckman. He is utterly useless around the ground though.
Here's hoping.

unless of course their legs are stuffed to the point they will need constant managing for the duration of their career.

In simple terms, they're Imbeciles.
There is no other explanation.

A player of Lids' ability, I'd rather we be conservative than give him the Nathan Foley treatment

Started playing at 17
Only missed a few games
You are a rough task master

Anyone know where Miles is at?
Rumor has it he's nursing an ankle and is also in doubt for Thursday...

The bloke had surgery on ankle and only joined in full training in February, not even close to being fit enough imo and it showed in the port game where he was still limping

Both ankles operated on and didn't resume any running till after Christmas
Over the past 3-4 has done massive loads and is right to go

Yep.
Rolled his ankle at training after the Hawthorn game and the club have been gentle on him. 100% certain to play.

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick expects Tigers star Brett Deledio to be available for the team’s Round 2 clash with Collingwood on April 1.
Deledio will miss Thursday night’s season-opener against Carlton at the MCG because of a quad injury, but Hardwick maintained the complaint was not severe.
“The positive for us is it’s only like a ‘one-weeker’ . . . If the game was on Monday, he’s probably every chance of playing,” Hardwick said.
“We probably learned a little bit last year, where we pushed him to play Round 1 and he did some significant damage to his calf.
“But this is a different injury, so we’re really positive that he’ll be available for Round 2.”

Well that's just dandy, what about the other ten or so deficiencies in his game then?
