Richmond VFL has finalised its line-up for Saturday's curtain-raiser clash against Footscray at the Swinburne Centre.
The Tigers will host the Bulldogs from 2.05pm ahead of the AFL match between Richmond and the Western Bulldogs at 7.25pm.
A strong side has been named for the Round 3 contest, including AFL-listed Tigers Ivan Soldo, Sydney Stack, Riley Collier-Dawkins and Kane Lambert. Thirty-year-old Lambert will play limited minutes in his first game of 2022 as he manages his hip issue.
Young rebounding defender Tom Bracher has been named to play his debut in the Yellow and Black.
The former Murray Bushranger, while small in stature, is an exciting back flanker. At 20 years old, he has also played senior football for Wodonga Raiders and is an excellent accumulator of the football with silky skills on both sides of the body.
