Richmond

The Tigers fielded a strong squad in round one of the NAB Cup with only Jake King, Troy Chaplin, Nathan Foley, Dylan Grimes and Sam Lonergan out. All except for Foley are chances to play this week or next. Ricky Petterd, Ivan Maric and Aaron Edwards played one game each last Friday, with Matt White, Orren Stephenson and Luke McGuane replacing them in the second. Nick Vlastuin impressed in the middle and Chris Knights had eight disposals against North. Richmond would have loved to pinch the win against North but Damien Hardwick's decision to leave Trent Cotchin, Brett Deledio, Dustin Martin and Shane Tuck on the bench in the dying stages indicates it wasn't paramount.

NAB Cup Barometer - pre-season update at every club

WHO'S flying and who's hurt at your club plus a report card on every team's top draft picks.


RICHMOND

FORM: More of the same from Richmond after last year’s encouraging display, but it was apparent the elite kids now have 30-plus games in them and the side is clear of passengers. The stars were rested late in the second game, so Richmond was far from discouraged about the game two loss.

DRAFT WATCH: Nick Vlastuin looked hard and tough and ran in straight lines. His clean pick up and blind turn on the wing was a highlight. Great signs.

MEDICAL ROOM: Dylan Grimes and Troy Chaplin hope to play NAB Cup games, while Nathan Foley won’t be back for Round 1.

WHAT’S NEXT: Richmond v Essendon, Wangaratta, 5.10pm Saturday

Nathan Foley - Achilles. Has started training, but unlikely to play early in the season at this stage.
