Richmond will send a strong outfit to Morwell on Saturday for its Round 12 VFL clash with Collingwood.

Midfielder Dan Jackson, who has recently overcome a minor hip injury, and ruckman Shaun Hampson, will take the field for the VFL against the ‘Pies.

First year players Ben Lennon, Nathan Gordon and Sam Lloyd will again look to perform strongly in the VFL, to stake their claim for senior selection.

VFL coach Tim Clarke is expecting a better performance from the Tigers against the seventh placed Collingwood, after last weekend’s 60 point loss to North Ballarat.

The VFL team will play at the same time as the Tigers’ AFL team, which takes on St Kilda at 2.10pm at Etihad Stadium.

For the latest updates of the VFL match, tune into a live broadcast of the game on Richmond VFL Radio from 2pm on Saturday, via Richmond’s smartphone app, or website.
