Polak and simmonds also got some minor niggling injuries. Schultz always seem to pick up injuries, his appear much worse, maybe broken ribs.

on fox sports news they just said shultz has broken rib

Isn't he going for Xrays tomorrow?

Always the big blokes getting injured for us.

Hopefully all 3 are alright.

Good to win again but if the injuries aren't serious then I'm very happy

From The West.

Richmond had a convincing pre-season win over Sydney but lost promising key position player Jay Schulz to a worrying rib injury and Graham Polak to a foot injury.


Tigers star Matthew Richardson kicked five goals to lead the Tigers to a promising 17.11 (113) to 13.10 (88) victory, but the injuries were a concern for coach Terry Wallace.
Wallace said Schulz was going to be taken to Wagga Wagga Base Hospital because he was struggling to breathe, but the Tigers medical team decided to get him back on a plane to Melbourne.
"Jay Schulz has got a rib injury, we're not exactly sure of the extent of that," Wallace said after the match.
"He'll get x-rays tomorrow.

"If you cop a full-blooded knee to the ribs going at the pace these blokes are going at, I think it was Richo (Richardson), so that's a hundred-odd kilos sort of going through your ribs, a bit of friendly fire."
Wallace said the 22-year-old had pulled up okay soon after the match but would be closely examined tomorrow.

Ruckman Troy Simmonds came off as a precaution with stiffness in his quad and the Tigers suffered a third injury to Polak, who came off with a bruised heel.

Despite the injuries the Tigers won convincingly thanks to Richardson's straight kicking and the pace of Nathan Foley and Richard Tambling through the midfield.

Wallace was happy with both the result and style of play from the Tigers.
"We've got more speed in that area (the midfield) and probably just more guys who can work through the middle of the ground, which is something that we've been trying to work towards for three or four years now and finally we're seeing some of that come to fruition," he said.
Swans coach Paul Roos wasn't worried by the result, admitting he was more concerned about giving some youngsters a run and getting key players like Barry Hall, who kicked four goals, and Michael O'Loughlin match fit.

Ed Barlow, Jared Moore, Heath Grundy, Matt O'Dwyer and Jesse White all came in for praise from Roos, who said he would looking for all of the youngsters to press for game time in the season proper.
"The main thing tonight was about playing against a team that was full strength, sometimes you can play in these games where one team's got a lot of good players and the other team's got not so many and I thought tonight was good," Roos said.

Thanks for all the reports folks, well done.

Despite the injuries the Tigers won convincingly thanks to Richardson's straight kicking...

Won convincingly? Richo's straight kicking? Quotes to cherish.

Here we go again...Roos vying for a media role?

Good to hear Tambling mentioned the past 2 weeks about playing well in the middle too

Good to hear Tambling mentioned the past 2 weeks about playing well in the middle too

Probably the best thing I read out of the reports. Hopefully it is a sign of things to come.

Also the fact we had 10 goalkickers from 17 goals with 8 coming from Richo and Lids, 2 to Johnson and singles to Hughes Tuck Polak Pettifer Tambling Brown & White.

TW called up SEN last night and had a chat to the boys about the game. Said that they would use Lids in a "James Hird" type role, where he would play where hes needed.

He didnt mention any of the injuries except for Schultz. Said he was really happy with Bling and was hoping for him to improve dramatically this year and in the years to come.

Said that Cogs would play at Skilled Stadium next friday
