Number 1 draft pick Sam Lalor has come from the field following a tough collision in the third term of Richmond’s first practice game of 2025.

The teenager was shoved by West Coast defender Reuben Ginbey into oncoming traffic in a forward 50 contest and appeared to be holding his jaw and neck.

Lalor came from the ground with the trainer, looking incredibly sore.

He was the shining light for Richmond at Mineral Resources Park, kicking two goals from five shots at goal and looking comfortable at centre bounces.

The Eagles dominated the contest, kicking 10.2.(62) to an undermanned Richmond’s 4.2.(26).
