Richmond players play game of bubble soccer during pre-season training

AFL footballers can be accused of living in a bubble, but Richmond stars took that literally in what might be the most bizarre training drill of the pre-season.

It’s possible the players were learning about balance and bodywork. It’s more likely the club found a creative way to let off some steam after a tough pre-Christmas training block to end a very long year for the Tigers.

Either way, it’s weird.

As usual Dustin Martin is in the thick of the action — but his trademark “don’t argue” doesn’t work so well in this game.

The video was posted on Richmond’s Instagram account today and has been viewed almost 8000 times.

Most fans saw the funny side but some weren’t impressed that the Tigers had taken their eye off the ball even for a few minutes.

One wrote: “How about fixing the game plan, Dimma?” and another replied “already put a line through 2017”.

Lighten up, guys. After all, it’s Christmas.

Dimma and all the coaching staff were inside their own bubbles last season so must have decided to let the players have a go.

If any of you fellas were pro sportsmen I think you'd appreciate how dull the routine gets. So liven it up a bit is fine with me.
