Star Tiger in career-best shape, forward's recovery on track

Dustin Martin is smashing personal bests in the gym in an ominous sign ahead of the 2024 season
Richmond star Dustin Martin is setting personal records in the gym and inspiring his Tigers teammates in his 15th pre-season.
The triple Norm Smith medallist is determined to prove to new Richmond coach Adem Yze he remains one of the League's elite players.
Yze is just the second full-time coach Martin has had after being led by Damien Hardwick in his debut season in 2010 until the middle of this year.
Martin, who is entering the final year of his seven-season contract, suffered a heavy knock during Richmond's training camp in Gippsland but was later cleared of concussion.
Tigers defender Jayden Short insisted Martin had returned from the off-season break in "unbelievable" shape in an ominous sign for the rest of the competition.
“When you get a new coach, everyone's got to impress again," Short said at Punt Rd on Tuesday.
"It's been good for our young boys, they get to impress a new coach and certainly us older boys as well.
"The way Dustin showed up was amazing.
"He's coming into his 15th year of AFL and he's setting PBs (personal records) in the gym and his running's certainly always improving as well.
"He's a great role model for everyone at this football club and I'm just lucky that I get to play alongside him and get to watch him go about his business every day.
"It makes us all want to get better when you see one of the best players in the competition always trying to get better.
"It's hard not to want to better yourself, he's an awesome footballer, but an even better person so we're very lucky."
Key forward Tom Lynch is slowly working his way back into training, taking part in modified drills during a session in front of the Punt Rd faithful on Tuesday night.
Lynch was ruled out for the remainder of the 2023 season after injuring his foot against the Western Bulldogs in round four.
“It's been a long time for Tom and for anyone who has spent a long time in rehab it's pretty painful," Short said.
"But his attitude throughout the whole time has been second to none.
"Just rocking up every day with a smile, he's been amazing.
"It's good to see him back running and I'm looking forward to being able to kick it to him again."

First crack without looking at the byes properly & knowing what the rules will be for the ridiculous round 0 concept :-
The news that Guthrie is fully fit currently makes him so tempting at that price - with Selwood retired & Danger past his best, the cats missed him big time last year. He averaged 99.2 in 2022, 113.3 in 2021 & 103.2 in 2020. Big watch on him over preseason.
Going cheap up fwd like most - Jordon & Harmes at new clubs with midfield roles & fwd classification makes them very appealing.

Is anyone able to easily put together a list of all of the players/teams/prices for 2024 in Excel format? I think it is usually @Beg2Differ who has done this previously. It's very handy for setting up the MPM comp, and much easier/more error free than manually entering 400+ names. I would have no idea how to do this myself.
Thanks in advance.
