RICHMOND star Brett Deledio is in the mix to play in the Round 1 clash with Carlton after scans of his injured hamstring on Saturday revealed only minor damage.
Deledio threw a scare into the Tiger camp when he limped from the field early in Friday's intra-club practice match at Whitten Oval.
Scans on Saturday morning detailed some minor issues that will keep him out of the early rounds of the NAB Cup, but club officials believe he can still be available for later pre-season games.
The Tigers meet Hawthorn and North Melbourne in the opening NAB Cup games at Etihad Stadium on Friday night.
Hawthorn is TAB Sportsbet's $3.50 favourite to win the NAB Cup, with Collingwood $4 and Geelong $5.

Probably just the Geelong game. Wouldn't risk the flight to face Freo.

Disappointing that we couldn't see the new midfield unit in full flight and give them some time to gel together before the season proper. Lids moving into the center was the biggest positive change I could see from last year to this so having him go down, even for a few weeks, dampens my expectations somewhat. I'm sure he'll be right to go in no time and it's better this happened at this stage of the preseason rather than during the fitness stage. Hey, who knows, perhaps the club is foxing and making sure none of the opposition get a chance to see how our new midfield with structure up/work together before the start of the season.... :whistle :P

With Carlton game 5 weeks away they seem to be cutting it pretty fine. Why wouldnt he be ready for the game for minor hammy?
Is it more serious than a normal hammy?

Normal hammy's can take 3 weeks to recover from but maybe this one is more back related??? The fitness staff are always more cautious at this time of the year as opposed to the season proper. You never know what's really going on....

Apparently Scott from North Melbourne and Eddie Maguire were watching this intra club match according to the news I saw.

correct, heard that on SEN also...

Eddie would be tuning up to call footy rather than spying I would think.

Th least this happened to one of our guns, it was Mattie knights in the pre season comp against the Roos and it was the same story - he'd be fine for round 1, which became r3 and then r8. He was stuffed for the season but the club played it down to avoidnthe impact to membership sales.
Hmmmm
-
Well let's hope he is right for round 1, couldn't care less about the NAB Cup, he must play round 1 though.... :pray
-
What if he needs to play NAB cup to be right for round one?

Why? If he did a hammy in the season would come back through Coburg...if it was a 1-2 week injury...no.
He will be fit enough round one if the hammy comes good over the next two weeks and he will get game in.
I meant I couldn't care less about risking him in rpthe Nab

It was the other Scott, the one that coached the Premiers. North Scott couldn't afford the tram fare.

I thought you were dead keen on the NAB Cup :huh
We need to try and go as far as we can.
Would love to win it or at least make the final.
Membership numbers will increase significantly.
Totally agree and I have been saying this year after year.....but alas I have been shot down year after year too for saying it... :thumbsup
We need to go into the season with a winning attitude and confidence, you dont get that by losing games, NAB cup or not..

Sorry, I meant I couldn't care if Deledeo plays or not, so long as he is right for round one...
I still want us to go hammer and tongs at the Cup, but not at the expense of a plyer like Lids.

Look out! Lids flying under the radar, whoa :shh

Be nice to see him explode against the Blues.

Deledio will miss the NAB Cup's opening round, the triangular series against Hawthorn and North Melbourne, because of a hamstring injury. He's also expected to miss next weekend's match against Fremantle at Patersons Stadium.

Brett Deledio in frame for Tigers return
by: Sam Edmund
From: Herald Sun
March 01, 2012
BRETT Deledio has set his sights on a return in the third round of the NAB Cup as he steps up his recovery from a hamstring injury.
Deledio sent a scare through the Richmond camp when he limped from the field during an intra-club match at Whitten Oval three weeks ago.
But the Tigers playmaker was yesterday confident he could manage at least one hitout before the Round 1 clash against Carlton on March 29.
"It's coming along really well. The hamstring is feeling a lot better than what it was and it's not sore or anything like that," Deledio said.
"I'm running every second day, pretty much. I'm hoping to be right by NAB three, if not NAB four. The fitness staff are going to take a pretty cautious approach, though.
"I've got complete belief in them that they'll get me right and, touch wood, it will all be fine."
Deledio, 24, admitted he was shocked by the injury -- his first muscle tear.
"I was filthy, to be honest," he said.
"I've never done anything soft-tissue before so I was in the dark and wasn't sure what was going on.
"It was one of those things that just happened. But I'm in rehab now and enjoying hanging out with Kel Moore and David Astbury, I suppose."
Richmond, which plays the Cats at Geelong in the NAB Cup third round, has a daunting start to the season proper, facing last year's finalists Carlton, Collingwood, Geelong and West Coast in the first five weeks.
But Deledio said two years under coach Damien Hardwick had the Tigers well placed for an assault on the top eight.
"We've got a lot of experience into young kids the last two years and that experience can only help," he said.

Deledio ripe for Round 1

Tue 06 Mar, 2012
Richmond star, Brett Deledio, will spend a further week recovering from his hamstring injury before returning to the playing field for the Tigers’ final NAB Cup match, in the lead-up to the Round 1 clash with Carlton.
The Tigers are taking a cautious approach with Deledio, who injured his hamstring in the opening round of the pre-season competition on February 17.
“We wanted Brett to get through two weeks of solid training before a major hit-out,” said Richmond’s Elite Performance Manager, Matt Hornsby.
