Tempers flared at Punt Road on Monday after two Richmond stars were embroiled in a heated training ground scrap. Footage from 7News's evening broadcast appeared to show Rhyan Mansell pinning two-time premiership winner Jayden Short to the ground during a training session.

The outlet claims that the exchange was sparked after Short had caught Mansell, 24, with a high shot in a previous contest. While the wrestle lasted for a few moments, the pair both returned to their feet and bumped shoulders, before appearing to continue with their session.
The Tigers have been hard in pre-season training in recent days and have conducted several intra-club matches on the Punt Road Oval as they attempt to turn around their fortunes during the 2025 season, having finished at the bottom rung of the AFL ladder last season.
It is, though, not the first time in recent weeks that we've seen two players from the same club square off in a training ground fracas. Rhyan Mansell appeared to pin two-time premiership winner Jayden Short to the ground during a training session on Monday.
