Richmond is likely to have almost all of its players available for the first days of pre-season training in November.

The Tigers’ only injury concerns surround the few players who had surgery after the 2014 season, including Steven Morris, Matt Thomas and Ben Lennon.

Morris (shoulder) and Lennon (hip) are expected to return to main training by mid December, while Thomas (knee) will resume after the Christmas break.

Richmond’s 1-4 year players will begin pre-season training on November 10, with the rest of the playing group scheduled to return on November 24.
