- Albury's Lachie Tiziani
Tiziani hasn't taken the field since tearing his anterior cruciate ligament while playing for Greater Western Sydney against Gold Coast in the NEAFL at Mackay in April, 2018.
Originally from Broken Hill, Tiziani played two senior games for Albury before being drafted by GWS with pick 54 in the 2016 draft.
The Ovens and Murray is set to find out within the next fortnight how the 2020 season will unfold with a June or July start looking more and more of a possibility with some restrictions being lifted by the government.
