Dusty and Lambo leave the track early

[one-eyed]

Tigers defender Dylan Grimes played down concerns about the reigning Brownlow Medallist.

"I think he's fine to be honest," Grimes said before Monday's training session.

"It was a bit of a storm in a tea cup. He did exactly what he'd planned on doing.

"The same with Dan Rioli as well. They're both absolutely flying so no issues whatsoever."

As I posted last week
King is correct

Yes !!

Not sure what to make of it was flying against hawks must have  copped a knock.Maybe they a easing the load on him and ramp it up during the week.

Neil Balme says it's a nothing story.

Had a whack at King at the same time.

No doubt he is injured , nothing that an injection won’t fix
If there was nothing wrong with him , why not leave him train 🤔

Quietened down a bit in the second half, but I can’t remember any specific incident that would have caused it.

Maybe just management issues I guess.Nothing unusual this time of year alot of players sore and carrying injury.

Could be a bad corkie taking time to settle. Or a small meniscal tear......

Martin will definitely play on Friday says Tigers footy boss

By SEN
17 Sep 2018

Richmond footy boss Neil Balme has rubbished reports star Dustin Martin is dealing with a “significant” knee issue, confirming he will play in Friday’s Preliminary Final against Collingwood.

David King told SEN’s Whateley today he had heard Martin is suffering a “significant knee issue”, but Balme has poured cold water on the report.

“I reckon I could nearly put my house on the fact that he will play on Friday,” Balme told SEN’s KB and The Doc.

“Of course he will…how many times do we have to say it? He has only missed four games in seven years. He will play on Friday.

“He did exactly what we needed him to do today, as he did Friday, and he will Wednesday and he will on Thursday.

“The only way he won't play is if someone kidnaps him and doesn’t let him go to the game.”

“Dusty’s fine. Like most of our players at this time of year, we manage their training loads. Dusty has had a couple of light training days, but he’ll line up on Friday night,” Balme said.
