Richmond may still be without Dylan Grimes for Sunday's blockbuster clash with Brisbane, with the defender leaving training early on Saturday.

Grimes was on the training track for just 15 minutes before leaving the field, with the Tigers undertaking a 40-minute captain's run.

Speculation surrounding Grimes' health intensified shortly after the session, with the Tigers making a change to their emergencies list for Sunday's game.

Jack Ross was withdrawn from the list in favour of Ryan Garthwaite, as the defender would be a like-for-like replacement for Grimes.

Richmond needs to beat Brisbane in order to finish inside the top four, with a defeat resigning them to fifth place on the ladder and an elimination final.
