Richmond again will field a near full-strength side, when it takes on North Melbourne in Wednesday night’s JLT Community Series clash at Ikon Park.
The Tigers have selected 19 members of their 2017 premiership side in a 26-man squad for the final pre-season hit-out, which will kick off at 7.05pm.
There are four changes to the Richmond team that defeated Essendon by 87 points in the opening JLT Community Series match at Wangaratta on February 24.
Premiership defender Nathan Broad, clever utility Sam Lloyd, talented, tall rookie forward Callum Moore and rookie ruckman Ivan Soldo come into the line-up, replacing Bachar Houli (calf soreness) and promising, young trio Jack Higgins, Mabior Chol and Ryan Garthwaite.
The three missing 2017 premiership players are Houli, Daniel Rioli (recovering from a broken foot sustained in the Grand Final) and Dion Prestia (minor hamstring injury).
