Balme says that Yarran, who has not played a single game for Richmond after being brought to the club in last year’s AFL Trade Period due to injuries and mental health issues, has secretly returned to training but is still a way off from playing senior football again.
“He’s training at the moment, he’s (in Melbourne)…he’s not officially back,” Balme said on SEN’s Hungry for Sport.
“He’s got a fair bit of work to do and we’re hopeful it can work itself out.”
The former Richmond player says that he is uncertain of whether Yarran’s current training is either physical or mental, but expects it would combine both.
“I think it would be a bit of both…I honestly don’t know, I don’t have a report on it, no so I’d be guessing at this stage,” said Balme.
