Tigers need to move on from Polak accident: Wallace

Richmond coach Terry Wallace says his players must return their focus to football after a traumatic fortnight off the field.

Tigers defender Graham Polak is being treated for head injuries after he was struck by a tram in Melbourne 10 days ago, prompting fears of brain damage.

Polak is now at a rehabilitation centre.

Wallace says it was fortunate the side had a bye the week after the accident.

"There's been a little bit of time for reflection, getting things organised, and I think now we've got to get on with business, and let Polly get on with organising himself, obviously with [our] support still there," he said.
