Richmond’s Physical Performance Manager Peter Burge's injury update:

Jack Graham, shoulder

"Jack’s going really well. It’s the same sort of rehab he had this time last year on the other shoulder, but he’s probably slightly ahead in terms of his conditioning. He’s doing some really good moderate speed running at the moment…he’s doing his strength work in the gym and building that. At this stage, it’s no contact training after Christmas during January with the aim of full contact around February."

Dylan Grimes, wrist

"Dylan’s going well…He’s only missed 10 days and is back running in rehab and will start with the group next week with some skills."

Alex Rance, knee


"Alex had a very minor scope a couple of weeks ago, just to clean up a little bit of soft tissue in his knee. He’s responded really well, he’s back running close to full speed and we’re going to gradually build his kicking and introduction to football over the next couple of weeks with the view of returning to training post-Christmas. But he’s on track and it’s looking really good for the pre-season competition next year."

Toby Nankervis, adductor


"Toby had groin surgery in the off-season…He was dealing with an adductor avulsion injury during the season, which took us about 12 weeks to get him back playing and then we had some minor interruptions towards the end of the season with that. That tendon that had come away from the bone had to be reattached post-season and he’s back running at about 50 per cent now. He’s feeling really good but we’re taking the longer-term approach and not rushing it…Where he’s at right now is really surprising us, he’s going really well."

Dion Prestia, Achilles

"Dion was managing a little bit of Achilles tendonitis late in the season, which he carried through the finals series. He was able to function really well in what he needed to do but we took the opportunity in the off-season to give him some time off legs away from running and build up some strength...He’s been running now for about five or six weeks and he’s building some really good volume in his training. He’s close to returning to the main group. It’s been a really good result and Dion’s the ultimate professional in everything he does, so he’s put himself in a great position."

Bachar Houli, calf


"Bachar in the off-season had a minor calf strain which we’ve had to manage for the last couple of weeks. Bachar’s now back running in the rehab group and we're just taking a cautious approach towards Christmas and hoping to get him back in with the main group after Christmas."

Shai Bolton, shoulder

"Right now, Shai is back in the rehab group. It was quite minor shoulder surgery, just a clean-up, and he’ll resume non-contact skills with the group starting next week."

Jake Aarts, groin
Luke English, Achilles


"Both Jake and Luke were carrying some minor niggles towards the end of last season through the VFL finals series. (The niggles) didn’t quire resolve over the off-season break so they’ve been back running for the last four weeks with the rehab group and are progressing nicely to come back in with the main group, most likely post-Christmas...But we’ll track them and see where they’re at over the next week or so."

Jack Higgins, brain bleed


"Jack had the brain bleed issue around June then had some surgery to try and fix that problem…eight weeks after that, he went in and had some major surgery where they went into the skull and fixed the problem. We got some great news a couple of weeks ago that the issue is now fixed and clear. During that time, he really hasn’t had a good break…So, we gave Jack a bit more time to come back to the Club when he was ready. He was coming in once a week but he’s got in touch with us this week and said he’d like to resume back full-time which is great news…Jack’s really looking forward to getting back and we'll progress his training carefully through the Christmas period and the new year."

Several Tigers facing delayed start to pre-season (Herald-Sun)

Several Tigers facing delayed start to pre-season

Sam Edmund,
Sunday Herald Sun
December 8, 2019


Bachar Houli has copped a soft tissue setback, with a calf strain during the off-season delaying his preparation for 2020.

While the Tigers said the injury was only minor, Houli, 31, is one of at least seven first-choice Tigers facing a delayed start to pre-season training.

This year’s All-Australian halfback is not scheduled to resume fully until after Christmas.

But Toby Nankervis has surprised the Richmond medical staff with his recovery from groin surgery after the ruckman played through the discomfort in a late-season return that saw him feature in all three finals.

“That tendon which had come away from the bone had to be reattached post-season, a little higher, where it was meant to be,” Tigers physical performance manager Peter Burge said.

“He is back to running at about 50 per cent now and he’s feeling really good, but we’re taking the longer term approach and not rushing it.

“That was a great result at the end of last season for Toby to be able to play in the finals series with what he had, but we needed a little bit of minor surgery, or major surgery, in the off-season.

“But where he’s at now is surprising us. He’s going well.”

Rest has appeared to cure Dion Prestia’s achilles tendinitis issues, with the midfielder close to rejoining the main group after resuming running five weeks ago.

The Grand Final’s hard luck story, Jack Graham, won’t be ready for contact training until February, but Burge said the rugged midfielder was ahead of schedule.

“He’s doing moderate speed running at the moment. He’s still got some limitations with the range in his arm so we won’t progress his speed until he can swing that arm a bit further,” he said.

Shai Bolton will resume non-contact skills training next week after he underwent a less serious shoulder operation.

Star defender Alex Rance continues his recovery from a knee reconstruction, rebounding well from a minor arthroscope.

“He’s back to running at close to full speed,” Burge said.

“We’re going to gradually build his kicking and introduction to football over the next couple of weeks with the aim of returning to training after Christmas.

“But he’s on track and it’s looking really good for the pre-season competition next year.”

The Tigers also got some good news on Jack Higgins, with the goalsneak ready to return to the club full-time after undergoing brain surgery in September.

“We gave him more time to come back to the club when he was ready. He was coming in once a week, but he got in touch with us this week to say he would like to resume full-time which is great news,” Burge said.

“We met Jack a couple of weeks ago with the doctor and he was in great spirits, but just needed a bit of extra time. He’s been conditioning off-site with our conditioning staff.

“We’ll progress his training carefully through the Christmas period and new year.”

Man that's good news about Higgins. I hope they ease them all in and we have a slow start so they peak at the end of the year. Rest Nank for a few weeks, Houli too. Just start slow.

Where's your club at? Injury list, training latest, who's flying

RICHMOND

As reigning premier, the Tigers had a relatively late return to training, with senior players only starting back at the beginning of December. They're consequently quite some way off match simulation. There's been one major change in the coaching ranks, with VFL premiership coach Craig McRae replacing the departed Blake Caracella as an assistant.

Injury list


Jake Aarts: Was carrying a minor groin injury during the VFL finals series and has been eased back to training. Looking like re-joining the main group after Christmas.

Shai Bolton: Needed a small shoulder clean-up during the off-season and is now set to resume contact work.

Luke English: In a very similar situation to Aarts, but with an Achilles complaint.

Jack Graham: Had a shoulder reconstruction after his preliminary final heroics. Has returned to moderate-pace running, and is aiming to be back in contact work by the start of February.

Dylan Grimes:
Needed a minor wrist cleanout following the end of the season, but the operation was delayed for his wedding. Back doing skills work.

Bachar Houli: After a comparatively injury-free 2019, the soft-tissue injury-prone Houli suffered a minor calf strain over the off-season. Given his history, the club is being cautious and he will return to full training post-Christmas.

Jack Higgins:
Has been on a part-time program following his second bout of surgery on a brain bleed, and took some time away from the club separate to the off-season. Is now ready to return and will be gradually integrated into the main program over the new year.

Toby Nankervis:
Required another surgery on his troublesome groin/adductor region over the off-season, after the muscle tendon which was operated on mid-year needed to be reattached again. Another one being treated cautiously, he's back running and will gradually build.

Dion Prestia: The club's best and fairest carried Achilles tendinitis into the AFL finals series and so was given time "off legs" during his holidays. Has gradually built his running loads and is very close to rejoining the main group.

Alex Rance: Was on track to make a return to full training in the new year and take part in the Marsh Community Series, but shocked the football world when he announced his retirement on Thursday, effective immediately. At this point, will stay on the list for the 2020 season.

Christmas break

Players finished up on Friday and will return on January 13. Gold Coast will once again be the destination for the 2020 pre-season camp, held in late January.

Richmond’s Physical Performance Manager Peter Burge with the latest injury report:

Kamdyn McIntosh, ankle

"Going back to the Gold Coast camp, Kamdyn was in an incident where he got his ankle caught and was twisted. At the time, it wasn't looking great, he did a little bit of damage around his syndesmosis in his ankle. He has had previous surgery on that same ankle which has probably saved him this time, and a longer-term injury has turned into hopefully a four to five-week injury. Right now, he's back running at about 90 to 95 per cent and we're looking to integrate him back into the skills program sometime next week…He's probably unlikely for the Marsh Series 1, but the second game in Wagga is a real possibility for him."

Jack Graham, shoulder

"Jack’s resumed full contact training this week. He was doing a little bit last week, has done a little bit more this week and next week we'll do absolutely everything. We're targeting the second Marsh Series game for Jack Graham to return to the team."

Toby Nankervis, adductor

"Toby had surgery back in the off-season on his groin and it's been a really slow, steady progression over the pre-season. Toby’s just starting integrating into some football training in the last two weeks. We haven’t reached full training status yet but we're looking to get closer to that next week. At this stage, I'd say he's less likely for Marsh Series 1, and more likely for the second game."

Jake Aarts, groin/hip


"Jake has been managing some groin and hip issues over the off-season and has had a progression over the pre-season. He’s resumed close to full training in the last two weeks and he’ll be available for some match practice over the next two weeks."

Shai Bolton, shoulder

"Shai had off-season surgery and he was no contact for the majority of the pre-season. He’s been in full contact training now for the last two weeks so he’s available for selection once the games start."

Toby Nankervis had groin surgery in the off-season and has been limited in his preparation, however, is likely to play in the Marsh Series this weekend. Having struggled with the problem in the first half of last season, don’t be surprised if the Tigers tread carefully with him early in 2020. Kamdyn McIntosh is recovering from an ankle issue while Jack Graham (shoulder) is close to full fitness. Both could play against the Giants in Wagga Wagga this Sunday.

Verdict:
No major injury concerns for the reigning premiers.

Injury update - 10 March 2020

PLAYER    INJURY    ESTIMATED RETURN
Kane Lambert         Concussion     Test
Jack Graham             Shoulder     Test
Kamdyn McIntosh         Ankle     Test
Toby Nankervis        Adductor     Test

Early prognosis

Graham, McIntosh and Nankervis were expected to play in the second Marsh Community Series game but will instead now press for round one after playing in a VFL practice match instead. Lambert was concussed in the Tigers' loss to the Giants thanks to an ugly run-in with Jeremy Cameron, but with 11 days in between the game and round one, he's got time on his side. – Jennifer Phelan

RICHMOND

The Tigers enjoyed a charmed run with injury last summer and have continued to keep a clean bill of health throughout the suspension period. Bachar Houli was the only player to go into isolation with a significant injury issue, having hurt his calf on the eve of the season. However, having returned to full training before round one, the defender should be fit to resume when teams return to action. Nick Vlastuin should also be OK, despite dealing with concussion symptoms prior to competition being suspended. - Riley Beveridge

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick said the Tigers' high performance team were wary of calf and groin injuries, as the players returned to "dynamic training".
