Richmond has finalised its line-up for Sunday night's Anzac Day Eve blockbuster against Melbourne at the MCG.

The Tigers will regain the services of two-time premiership Tiger Kamdyn McIntosh, who missed last week's clash with Adelaide due to AFL Health and Safety Protocols.

First-year defender Josh Gibcus, who was managed last weekend after playing in the opening four rounds, has also been named in the final side.

Tiger cubs Riley Collier-Dawkins and Rhyan Mansell have been recalled for their first senior outings of 2022 following strong performances in Richmond's VFL win over Carlton last Sunday, both collecting 25 disposals. 

Out of last week's side are Jake Aarts, Matt Parker and Ben Miller, who have all been omitted.

Hugo Ralphsmith (ribs) and Marlion Pickett (hamstring) will also miss Sunday's game through injury, while Kane Lambert (managed) won't play at either level.

Richmond's four emergencies for the clash are Parker, Maurice Rioli, Tyler Sonsie and Sam Banks.

The Club will confirm which player steps into the 23 to serve as the medical substitute 60 minutes before the game.

Sunday night's game at the MCG will kick off at 7.25pm following a pre-game ceremony, and be broadcast live on Channel 7, FOX FOOTY and Kayo.

Prior to the clash, VFL Tigers will take on Casey in a curtain-raiser clash at the Swinburne Centre from 2.10pm. 

Richmond will be wearing its new 2022 Anzac Day Eve jumper on Sunday night to pay tribute to those that have served their country, with wattle flowers comprising the Club's famous yellow sash.

Speaking to the media on Thursday morning, senior coach Damien Hardwick said the annual clash was "an incredible honour" to be a part of.

"I think the whole game has grown in significance and it's one of the highlights of our calendar... we're very lucky and privileged to play in it," Hardwick said.

"It's an incredible honour. Our players love playing in front of our fans so hopefully, we can get as many as we can there to not only celebrate our Anzac heroes but the game in general."

Hardwick said the contest against the reigning premier, who is undefeated in 2022, would provide his side with a "real measure of where we’re at."

"It’s a great challenge...They’re playing some really good footy, able to score heavily at various stages...The way they play the game is a fantastic game to watch," Hardwick said.

"We’ve been good at various stages this year and inconsistent at stages. But if we iron out that performance, we give ourselves every chance.

"We feel we’re not too far away. A lot of our indicators, there’s some really positive signs."
