The majority of Richmond’s playing list has descended upon East Gippsland for the 2015 Community Camp, however a few key Tigers have stayed behind as they have their workload and rehabilitation from minor ailments monitored.
Trent Cotchin, Dustin Martin and Brett Deledio are among a small contingent of Richmond players managing soreness as they work through the pre-season.

Cotchin and Martin are managing hamstring soreness, requiring focused strength work to ensure they are back in full training as soon as possible.
Deledio is experiencing some Achilles tightness and, given the same injury restricted him in the early part of 2014, the Club isn’t taking any risks.
The trio is not expected to be hindered in preparation for the 2015 pre-season competition, or the home-and-away season.
“While we understand the importance of engaging with our fans in regional communities, the decision to leave a number of players out of our Community Camp was made with player welfare and preparation for the season ahead at the forefront of our minds,” said Richmond’s General Manager of Football, Dan Richardson.
Richmond is spending two days in Sale, Lakes Entrance and Bairnsdale today (Tuesday, February 10) and Wednesday for its AFL Community Camp.
