Richmond youngster Jack Graham is working hard to join the main training group, as he manages a minor hamstring complaint.
The Tigers landed the former North Adelaide inside midfielder with their second selection, pick No. 53, at the 2016 AFL National Draft.
Graham, 18, has experienced an interrupted pre-season and has been training in the rehab group.
"Coming into a new Club, you just want to show everyone what you're here for," Graham said.
"Me being pushed to the sideline in rehab, so I can’t really sell myself and show the boys what I'm capable of.
"It's frustrating but the medical staff have been great and saying 'Get all the areas ticked off so you’re out of rehab for good'."
"It's tough but hopefully I'll be out in a couple of weeks."
Graham, who was crowned Larke Medallist for the best on field in the 2016 under-18 national championships, detailed his ambitions for his debut season with the Tigers.
"Goals to work on would be my fitness, I can always take that to another level and work on my endurance," he said.
"Probably skills wise would be my short kicking, I think I can improve that, and decision making - can always improve with that as well."
Speaking to Roar Vision on the final day of Richmond's pre-season camp on the Sunshine Coast, Graham said it had been a challenging yet rewarding week.
"Team bonding is important, just the relationships with the players and the coaches, coming together as one," he said.
"It's obviously a hard week of training, but if we all work together we’ll get through it easily and that’s what we’ve done this camp, I think it's been great."
