Tom Lynch, hamstring - ruled out for the remainder of the season
"(A full pre-season for him is) extremely important. Tom's actually now missed two full pre-seasons, and even on top of that, he's missed two off-seasons. So, he's gone into the last two off-seasons rehabbing, and low level rehab. So, it's quite exciting for us to get Tom healthy at this stage of the year, so he can have a decent break, attack his off-season and do a full pre-season, which will hold him in great stead for next year and be really exciting for our Tigers supporters."
Liam Baker, concussion
"Unfortunately (with when) it happened, the timing's not great because the 12-day concussion protocol will rule him out for two games. He started doing some light exercise today and we anticipate he'll be healthy for the last game against the Suns."
Kane McAuliffe, illness
"Kane's been battling a chest infection the last few weeks. The doctor made a decision last Saturday morning to pull him out of the (VFL) game, he just still wasn't right. He's feeling a little bit better today, so we'll see how he is later in the week. We anticipate he'll be okay to play."
Marlion Pickett, hamstring
"Marlion's moving okay, we'll just see how he is later this week with regards to this weekend, but we're hoping he'll at least play the last game."
Tom Brown, ankle
"'Browny' had surgery on his right shoulder last week, he's pulled up really well. He's also in a moon boot for his syndesmosis. He'll have surgery in about four weeks' time on his other shoulder, but from all reports, he's going really well."
Steely Green, ankle
"Steely's in a moon boot. He's like a Jumping Jack at the moment, he doesn't really know what to do with all his spare time. He's feeling a lot better and he'll be fine for a full pre-season."
Jack Ross and Liam Fawcett, VFL returns
"(They went) really great. Liam just played the half, he's pulled up really well. We'll increase his game time this weekend. 'Rossy' (was) the same, he pulled up quite well and we're looking forward to seeing him play (again) this week."
Campbell Gray, hamstring
"Campbell's going okay. Like we mentioned earlier, he's working a lot on his athletic traits, working really hard with our medical and fitness staff. At this stage, we're probably not going to see him again this year, but he's looking okay for a full pre-season."
Josh Gibcus, knee
"'Gibbo' has turned the corner in the last couple of weeks, his strength has really improved, and we're really hoping to get him running next week."
Mate Colina, back
"Mate had a positive scan yesterday. It showed full healing his bone edema. We're going to consult with a specialist to see what our next move is with him."
Would have been more exciting to see him healthy during both or either of 2023/4
