Tigers duo return positive COVID tests

Richmond has two confirmed COVID-19 cases with Dion Prestia and Noah Balta forced into isolation.

The pair tested positive and all their close contacts have been identified and tested as per protocols.

The Tigers’ first-to-fourth year players are due to return to pre-season training on Monday with the club confirming they will be able to begin as expected.

All players and football department staff need to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 to play in the AFL and AFLW next year.
