Major injury blow hits Tigers amid Dusty rumours

Richmond coach Adem Yze was forced to swad away suggestions of an early retirement for Dustin Martin as he dealt with more injury carnage after midfield star Tim Taranto suffered a fractured wrist in a major blow for the first year mentor.

It came as Yze confirmed another midfielder, Jack Ross, would also be sidelined for about two months after scans revealed a stress fracture in his foot.

The Tigers confirmed Taranto, the reigning club best and fairest who hadn’t missed a game since joining the Tigers from GWS in 2023, would need surgery and could miss Taranto “an extended period” after suffering the injury at training on Friday.

Richmond football boss, Tim Livingstone said the club would have a clearer picture of the injury’s timeline after today’s surgery.

“We are incredibly disappointed for Tim that he will miss some football, but we know the professional he is. He will keep himself fit and strong and return as quickly as he can,” Livingstone said.

“It was an unlucky incident right at the end of today’s session. He will have it operated on immediately, and we will see where everything is at after that.”

Yet-to-debut youngster Steely Green has been added to the squad of 26.
