Richmond assistant coach Justin Leppitsch has revealed forward Jack Riewoldt failed his first concussion test earlier this week because he didn’t read the instructions correctly.
Riewoldt has since been declared fit for Saturday’s Dreamtime clash with Essendon, but Leppitsch has explained the story behind the 29-year-old passing the concussion protocols.
“He (Riewoldt) is fine,” he told SEN Mornings.
“There is a little secret with that because Jack actually failed his first concussion test, but that’s because he didn’t read the instructions properly.
“In classic Jack fashion, trying to race through it, he failed the first one.
“He didn’t want anyone to know, so I’m lifting the lid on that one.”
Leppitsch also said defender Bachar Houli is expected to return from his groin injury after the bye.
