Embattled defender Dylan Roberton has today returned to full training, completing the T1 session alongside his teammates on Tuesday afternoon.
Almost four months to the day since the 27-year-old collapsed on-field in Geelong due to an irregularity in his heartbeat, Roberton moved well as he re-joined the playing group in training for the first time since the incident.

Roberton’s return to the training track marks the end of what was at times an uncertain wait on the sidelines, with questions raised earlier in the year on whether or not the father-of-three would ever return to the football field.
Shortly after the incident in mid-April, Roberton had a device implanted to monitor his heart rate over the next three months and feed information back to club doctors and medical staff.
Restricted to light exercise, the 2017 All-Australian nominee took on an off-field role to support his teammates both on game-day and during the week.
