Matt Hornsby with his injury update
http://www.richmondfc.com.au/roarvisionarchive/tabid/11454/contentid/379064/default.aspxJackson - X-ray/MRI yesterday and got positive news. He copped a corky to shin. See how he trains this week. Some chance to play.
Newy - we're optimistic and Newy is keen to get back playing. He's had 3 running sessions doing more each time. Now it's about building up his workload in the coming week or so. We're hopeful he can play the last 2 games.
Moore - more significant surgery yesterday for his degenerative hip problem. We've set a path on this to be aggressive to help him long-term. Early days but at this stage expect him to have as solid preseason leading into 2012.
Connors - frustrated with tendon issue in his quad. Notoriously slow to heal. He's quite good up to 90% but is struggling to overcome that top end so we don't want to push it and cause a major problem. So we need to be conservative which means allow it to heal and strengthen. He's pretty close and had a good session today so we are hopeful he'll see some action before the end of the season.
Grimes - has started to rejoin in training. Able to run at top speed, aggressive change direction, acceleration and deceleration - specific footy movements - and he's copping with that very well. Great to see him get to the stage where he's not far off joining full training.
Astbury and Derickx - being more conservative with them as they are coming back from significant injuries. Dave has started running and running well. Derickx is a bit behind Dave as he's coming back from ankle surgery.
