Riewoldt stars in match practice

Deledio, who has been managing Achilles soreness, completed the session and was untroubled, along with Reece Conca, who has been on the comeback from a knee injury.

Dustin Martin, who this week signed a two-year contract extension, was dominant through the midfield.

Pleasingly for the Club, the players emerged unscathed from the match on the injury front.

Beanie kicked 3, get around him!  8)

Good to hear Lambert's doing well too.

Oh and I'm glad Conca shaved off the beard, it was filthy.

The club revealed on Tuesday that the veteran defender had experienced "some discomfort" at training recently, which saw him have tests that confirmed a cardiac arrhythmia.

The 32-year-old has met with a specialist, and will have a procedure to correct the issue.

"Chris has seen a cardiologist specialising in this area, and he has confirmed that the diagnosis is a relatively benign one," the club's football manager, Dan Richardson, said on the Richmond website.

"However, the decision has been made to rectify the situation with a procedure to eliminate the trigger of the abnormal cardiac rhythm."

It is a frustrating interruption for the Tigers and Newman, who heads into his 15th AFL season with 251 games to his name. The club hopes the concern will not keep their former captain out for too long in the home and away season.

"The procedure is relatively straightforward and has been done successfully in many high level athletes, including AFL footballers," Richardson said.

"We are expecting that Chris will be off training for a couple of weeks, and then should be able to resume full training, and play soon after."

Richmond will play North Melbourne on Saturday in the third round of the NAB Challenge after some encouraging pre-season form, in its final hit-out before meeting Carlton on April 2.

Fuark, that's no good. Hopefully it all goes well for him and he's out on the park sooner rather than later. He's still got it and his leadership and presence is insane, we really do need him in what probably is his final year.
