Track watch: Scouting report from Tigers trainingJosh Gibcus was joined for a short time away from the main group by draftees Kane McAuliffe and Liam Fawcett, who both flew in from South Australia on Thursday night.
Marlion Pickett again joined the young Tigers on track, alongside star defender Nick Vlastuin and Jack Ross jogged some laps.
Superstar Dustin Martin was not at training but has been a regular in the past two weeks despite not being officially required back until Monday.
Midfielder Thomson Dow’s work through a ball movement drill was described as “awesome” by new coach Adem Yze, while Hugo Ralphsmith and Judson Clarke moved well.
Clarke left the track early after a collision feeling for his left shoulder but was able to put his arm above his head and while sore, appeared to be fine.
He missed the end of last season with a cracked scapula.
Sam Banks also limped off the track with a lower right leg injury.
Maurice Rioli moved strongly on track and powered through some laps, while Tyler Sonsie has had a bright start to the pre-season.
Big man Mate Colina, who had his 2023 wiped out by a back injury, moved well and showed the athleticism that saw him finish high in the club’s 2km time trial despite standing at 211cm tall.
A set shot at goal showed Colina still has some rough edges to iron out.
