Where's your club at? Pre-season training so far and what's coming up in 2015

RICHMOND

Pre-season so far:
Richmond's youngsters started back on November 10 but most of the older players filtered through and took part in training sessions before their official return two weeks later.

Only Steven Morris (shoulder), Matt Thomas (knee) and Ben Lennon (hip) started on modified programs after surgery.

Tiger fans would have been buoyed by a fit Ivan Maric starting well and looking like he'll avoid the type of disjointed pre-season he endured last year.

As a group, they headed to Townsville in early December for a week-long training camp that finished with an "Amazing Race"-type challenge, which tested the players in a range of physical tasks over three days. The pinnacle of the camp was an 8km kayak race to Magnetic Island and back before they finished off with an arduous hike that saw captain Trent Cotchin – who confirmed a five-year contract extension while on the camp – disband the teams so the challenge could be finished with all the players working together.

Training return: January 5.

Community Camp: East Gippsland (Bairnsdale/Lakes Entrance), February 10-11, 2015.

NAB Challenge games:
Game one, v Western Bulldogs, Whitten Oval, Saturday February 28, 4.40pm
Game two v Port Adelaide, Lavington Sports Ground, Albury, Saturday March 14, 4.40pm
Game three v North Melbourne, Etihad Stadium, Saturday March 21, 1.10pm.

Round one: v Carlton, MCG, Thursday April 2, 7.20pm.
