RICHMOND utility Graham Polak has returned to Punt Road on Friday for the first time since being hit by a tram in Melbourne almost five weeks ago.
He was placed in an induced coma for several days to relieve swelling on the brain, but has made steady progress since.
Polak watched the Tigers' 30-minute training sessions with his manager Paul Connors.
Richmond assistant coach Brian Royal said the 24-year-old's unexpected visit following his discharge from hospital on Wednsday was inspiring for the players.
"For Graham to walk into the club, it was overwhelming for the players, it's just terrific to see Graham back," said Royal.
"We know he's got an enormous amount of work in his recovery, but it's just fantastic to see him about the club."
