From today's Age.....As the Tigers head north to what will be a humid pre-season camp, they are unsure of the extent of the latest hamstring concern hovering over key defender Dylan Grimes, who left training on Friday with soreness in his left leg.
Soreness would not normally faze teams in November, but the 21-year-old has had his past two seasons ended by hamstring injuries.
Richmond said on Sunday that Grimes would remain in Melbourne and was likely to have scans on Monday.
Grimes has suffered severe hamstring injuries in the past two Dreamtime matches against Essendon; the 2011 setback ended his season, while this year he missed the next five games.
A recurrence against Adelaide in round 14 prompted Richmond to send the 17-game player to Germany to see soft-tissue specialist Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt, who injected actovegin - an extract of calf's blood - into the muscles. Grimes did not play again in 2012 but had shown encouraging signs of recovery this pre-season.
