Training report from today's Herald-Sun....At Punt Rd, Richmond football operations manager Ross Monaghan said the club was delighted with how the players had returned from a two-week holiday.
"Generally, we're really pleased with the way they've all presented themselves," Monaghan said.
"They're in good shape and good spirits too, which is important after a break and they're keen to get into it.
"We've had no problems with that at all.
"We had a few light skills to get back into it and a few light weights.
"We just want to get them back into the swing of things."
Daniel Jackson continued his impressive off-season form, winning the lap of the Tan in just over 13 minutes.
"Dan Jackson has consistently been doing really well in the time trials we've had," Monaghan said.
"He and Matty White have been pushing each other pretty hard.
"Brett Deledio ran really well, too."
Luke McGuane spent his break in Boston, where the temperature struggled to reach 0C.
The defender rugged up to keep fit and impressed on his return to training.
Tall forward draftee Jayden Post has also caught the eye with his running ability, despite standing 194cm.
Kane Pettifer (knee reconstruction) and Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls (shoulder surgery) are the only major injury concerns.
Richard Tambling has suffered some groin soreness, but is still running.
"The boys will work towards a pretty solid couple of weeks later this month and then they'll obviously ease off a little bit when the practice matches start," Monaghan said.
Richmond's NAB Cup starts against Fremantle at Subiaco Oval on Sunday, February 15.
