How your club is shaping up for 2019

RICHMOND
WHO’S FIT
Small forward Dan Butler is ready to go and determined to make amends after missing the second half of last season with an ankle injury. The Tigers say midfielder Dustin Martin is also fit and firing both physically and mentally and is keen to return to the heights of his Brownlow Medal-winning 2017 season. Defender Brandon Ellis, who was dropped for last year’s finals series, is working hard and learning plenty as he prepares to take on a new role in the midfield this season. Ellis, 25, has worked closely with captain Trent Cotchin as part of the switch.
WHO’S HURT
All eyes are still on star recruit Tom Lynch, who is yet to join in full training after suffering a posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury last June. The Tigers say they will not rush Lynch back and have told him to take his time but still believe he is on track to tackle Carlton in Round 1. Midfielder Jack Graham is not quite back in full contact training but is also expected to be ready for Round 1 after having post-season shoulder surgery. Forward Jason Castagna was still in a moon boot at the club’s training camp on the Gold Coast late last month as he recovers from a high ankle sprain. Dylan Grimes is still wearing a mask while training after having surgery on a broken nose suffered in a handball drill at training last month.
WHO’S IMPRESSING
Richmond’s top draft pick last year at No. 20, Riley Collier-Dawkins has made his presence felt on the track over pre-season, particularly at the club’s camp on the Gold Coast last month.
While not wanting to put too much pressure on the 19-year-old, the Tigers expect Collier-Dawkins to play some senior football relatively early in the season. Former Saint Maverick Weller is also pushing his case for an early-season debut in his new colours as he continues to train well with Richmond’s forwards group.

Ross to replace Graham in the best 22 and keep him out...Graham to Port as part of the SPP trade at the end of the year.... :shh

SPP feeding the ball to Ellis in 2020....:shh

Only if SPP chooses North over us..... :shh :shh

You're better than that, Dio. I shut down the North/Suns rumours and people still said he'd leave, he is committed to Tigerland and will have a career best year this year. That's the mail....:shh :shh :shh
