Didn’t smillie have a hip issue? Any update on that?

Richmond

A quartet of Tigers are expected to miss portions of the 2025 season due to ACL injuries sustained last year.

Judson Clarke, Tylar Young and Mykelti Lefau will eye returns in the second half of the year, while young defender Josh Gibcus could be the first back from his long-term knee injury.

Gibcus won't be rushed back into action after missing most of the past two seasons with knee and hamstring injuries, but a comeback in the first couple of months might be on the cards.

Young flanker Sam Banks underwent off-season foot surgery but should be ready for the new season, while Pick 1 selection Sam Lalor is also set to get a bigger look on the track after his hamstring injury from last year.

Key forward Tom Lynch has continued to build up his workload over the pre-season and will hopefully be ready for Round 1 against Carlton.

Athletic utility Noah Balta is the most recent name to join the list following his off-season altercation that saw police charge him with assault.

Batla was suspended by the club for the first four rounds of the 2025 season, while he'll also miss two pre-season games.

Set to miss:
Judson Clarke - Knee
Josh Gibcus - Knee
Tylar Young - Knee
Mykelti Lefau - Knee
Noah Balta - Suspension (four matches)
