Injury Report: Round 3, 2025

High Performance Manager Ben Serpell gives an update ahead of the Round 3 match against St Kilda.

“It was good to see the boys turn up in the second half,” Serpell said.

“I think the upside of what we are seeing is that they are finishing the second half of the game quite well."

“So, what we do know is that they are in a good spot and can run out the game pretty well at the moment.”

Sam Banks

Concussion, 1 week

“Sam will go through the standard return to play protocol.”

“Not only does he have to deal with a concussion, but he also took five or seven stitches to the head as well."

“Hopefully he will be back playing in our game against Brisbane in a couple of weeks.”

Maurice Rioli

Hamstring, Test

“Maurice sustained a small hamstring injury last week and whilst we thought he would be ok to play on the weekend, we thought we would be conservative.”

“He will be a test for this week and hopefully get some game time in this round.”

Josh Smillie

Hamstring, Test

“Smillie has done a great body of work over the last few weeks and he’s training quite well.”

“He will be a test on the back end of the week, but make no mistake if we don’t think he is ready to go, we will look after him a little bit more.”

“He is certainly doing a lot of fast running and is in a great position.”

Hugo Ralphsmith

Hamstring, 1-3 weeks

“Hugo is in a great position as well and we could probably see how he goes this weekend.”

“But again we want to look after him and we will look after him a little bit longer because if we don’t have to rush anything we won’t.”

Dion Prestia

Achilles, 3-4 weeks

“No real change to Dion at the moment.”

“He will just keep pressing on with his rehab and we will look at him in about 3-4 weeks’ time.”

Injury Report: Round 4, 2025

Ben Serpell provides the Round 4 Injury Update, before Richmond's clash with Brisbane.

Sam Banks

Concussion, Test

"He's done really well, Banksy. He's got through all his protocols well. He;s just got to get through training on Wednesday.

"Full contact training with no symptoms and he should be available for playing this weekend, if the coaches choose to select him."

Josh Smillie

Hamstring, Test

"Like last week, Smil's got through a good body of work.

"He'll continue to train and we'll make him available for selection this week. We will leave it up to the coaches to have the conversation at the table."


Liam Fawcett

Concussion, 1-2 weeks

"Unfortunately for Liam, he sustained a broken nose and was concussed (in the VFL).

"He'll go through the same protocols as what Sam Banks did (over) the last couple of weeks."

Hugo Ralphsmith

Hamstring, Test

"As it stands, Hugo is available for selection this week, he's still got to get through another training session.

"if he gets through that, he'll be a discussion at the table with the coaches later."


Dion Prestia

Achilles, 2-4 weeks

"He's doing well. There's no real update on where he's at.

"He's getting through quite well. He's trying to push things as quick as he can. Unfortunately, we have to hold Dion back from himself sometimes."

Judson Clarke

ACL, 3-6 weeks

"Judson Clarke will get through his first full week of training this week, with no yellow hat on (no contact). He'll be full contact training.

"We'll do a few weeks of that and he should be available for selection towards the end of April."

Mykelti Lefau, Tylar Young

ACLs, TBC

"We're seeing Mykelti and Youngy join into training with the yellow hat on.

"They're getting through everything, no contact."


Taj Hotton

ACL, TBC

"Taj is not too far off where those two are at, as well.

"He's doing quite well. He's excited."

Josh Gibcus

ACL, TBC

"He's starting to get into a few football drills.

"He's quite a complex case in that he's had that hamstring injury last year, followed by an ACL injury this year.

"He's just taking a little bit more time to respond to his training. But once he is, I'm sure we'll get him out there.

"I'm sure the fans don't want to see him re-hurt, so we will make sure we look after him."

Gibcus is a real worry
Love the way he plays , but the body doesn’t seem up to it at this early stage

Some blokes heal quick , he clearly doesn’t

Two very serious injuries so I'll give him a pass.

They're not related but their recoveries are.

Hoping he does a Grimes.
