Welcome back, boys: The comeback kids at your club

RICHMOND

Hamstring problems dogged Reece Conca in his fifth season but he overcame them in time to return for the Tigers' one and only final. Still, the 23-year-old missed most of the season and will be looking for an uninterrupted summer to give himself the best chance of being in the team in round one.

Midfield recruit Nathan Drummond will also be looking for a change in luck after his AFL debut in round four this year lasted less than a half before he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament. He's started running and will look to resume at senior level in the first half of next season.

And Tiger fans will be keen to get a look at a fully-fit Corey Ellis, after the first-round draft pick's 2015 was ruined by foot and hip problems.

Comeback lmao.

Conca is a fringe player, should have been traded.
Ellis has potential and should get a go, isn't a solid contributor yet.
Drummond has done nothing.

Not a whole lot coming back at all.

Drummond least likely to make it from last year's crop IMO. Will be handy depth at best - hopefully he can become a tougher, better tackling version of Matty White. At least we know he's courageous.

Good size too. I remember when he did his knee and he was having a massive crack that night. Fingers crossed for him...

We've seen enough of Conca to know he's essentially no good.

Ellis :thumbsup:
