Tim Taranto, concussion

"All signs are looking good at the moment. He trained today (Tuesday), he needs to pass his test on Thursday, but all signs are good at the moment for him to return (on Sunday)."

Nick Vlastuin, back

"Nick's been managing his back pretty much for the whole season. It just got to the point where we thought a week off would really benefit him to finish the year strongly. He trained really strongly today and he'll be available this week."

Dustin Martin, back 

"He's obviously been battling his back for a couple of weeks. He hasn't been able to do much training in that time. He trained really strongly today, he'll train strongly again Thursday, and we'll make a call then as to whether he's available this week."

Maurice Rioli, ankle

"(He's tracking) really well. He's been training for a couple of weeks, he'll train strongly on Thursday and we'll make a decision whether we play him this week or wait until after the (VFL) bye." 

Marlion Pickett, calf

"Same boat for Marlion (as Rioli). He trained really strongly today. He'll need to train the same way on Thursday and we'll make a call whether he's available."

Jack Graham, hip

"He's just taken a little bit of time to get himself right, Jack. We're probably, at this stage, thinking it'd be more like next week (Round 21) against North Melbourne (for his return)."

Tom Lynch, hamstring 

"So, Tom's obviously been battling (with his) hamstring the last few weeks. As all Richmond fans know, he hasn't played a lot of footy the last couple of years, and as a consequence (of that) as well, hasn't done a pre-season for three years now. So, what we need to do from this point to the end of the year, is make a really smart decision with Tom. We'll get him back into training in the next couple of weeks and we'll make a call then."

Toby Nankervis, concussion

"He's okay, Toby. He's frustrated that he's not training, he loves to be out there the boys. Hopefully he'll recover this week and we'll see him next week."

Oliver Hayes-Brown, concussion 

"Ollie's in the same boat (as Nankervis). He's doing really well and we'll see him next week."

Jack Ross, foot

"Rossy's really good, we had him him out at training today, it was really good to see him there. He's flying around the track looking good, and at this stage we're looking at some game time after the VFL bye, which is next week."

Liam Fawcett, back

"Today was actually Liam's first full session since January, so it was great to see big Liam running around. At this stage, we're looking at him also playing some game time after the VFL bye next week, which is exciting."

Campbell Gray, hamstring 

"Campbell's obviously coming from a long way back, being in local footy last year. So, we're gonna use this period now to really work on developing him as an athlete and we're hoping to see him, if the VFL team qualify for finals, around that time."

Mate Colina, back

"Mate's obviously dealing with a really stubborn back issue. He has a specialist appointment in a couple of weeks and we'll have more information then." 

Dylan Grimes, back 

"From all reports (he's) okay, he's up and about walking around (after surgery). We're really hoping to see him at the Club over the next week or so. It would be good to see his face."

Judson Clarke, knee 

"Juddy had a big milestone on Saturday and started running, which was really exciting. It's important to celebrate those things on these long-term rehabs. So, Saturday was great for Juddy."

Josh Gibcus, knee 

"Josh is going really well. He's ticking off some major strength milestones in the gym and we're hoping to see him out running very soon."
