Richmond turned up the heat for the first training session of pre-season camp on Monday. 

The Tigers swapped their Punt Road Oval headquarters for the Maroochydore Multisport Complex for a tough three-hour training session.

Fans watched on as the players were put through their paces, before the Sunshine Coast Council hosted lunch.

Speaking from the session, Richmond speedster Oleg Markov insisted the club wasn’t up here for a holiday.

“I guess the main thing (about being here) is the change of scenery,” Markov said.

“We’re quite thankful for the day, that it hasn’t been too hot or too humid, but we’ve still got a week here.

“It’s not a vacation, we’re still here to work hard.

“(The message is) to continue the hard work that we’ve had back at Punt Road and not drop off.”
