INJURY-plagued Richmond defender Dylan Grimes has suffered yet another setback with his dodgy hamstrings.
And Melbourne's new recruit Chris Dawes reported a minor calf strain last week.
Grimes strained his troubled left hamstring at training on Friday and will have scans tomorrow to assess its severity.
"Dylan left the training track early during Friday's session, with soreness in his hamstring," club elite performance manager Peter Burge said.

"We will seek medical opinion in the coming days to determine the extent of the injury."
Grimes, 21, had been tearing up the pre-season before Friday's setback.
He suffered two hamstring injuries on the left leg this year before travelling to Germany to receive cutting-edge treatment with one of the world's foremost experts in soft-tissue injuries, Dr Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt.
Geelong's Max Rooke made a similar trip in 2007, as did Richmond's Mark Coughlan in 2008.
In 2011, Grimes tore the tendon from his right hamstring in the Dreamtime at the 'G clash against Essendon.
Grimes has played just 17 games in three seasons but is considered one of the rising stars of the competition.
The Tigers hope he will form part of a strong defensive unit including Port Adelaide free agent Troy Chaplin, Alex Rance, Chris Newman, Bachar Houli, Jake Batchelor, Steve Morris and Ben Griffiths.
Melbourne football manager Josh Mahoney said Dawes' injury was only a minor one and the former Collingwood forward would be right to resume training this week.

"Chris Dawes reported calf soreness following a running session last week," Mahoney said.
"Scans revealed a very minor calf strain.
"He has completed a week of rehab and will resume running on Monday."
Dawes requested a trade to Melbourne from Collingwood - where he played in the 2010 premiership side - after the Magpies acquired Eagle Quinten Lynch.
The 24-year-old was on a modified program for the start of the pre-season after the knee injury he suffered during Collingwood's finals series.
