Ruckman, Ivan Maric will again play in Richmond’s VFL match as he regains his fitness and form to push back into senior team contention.

Maric, who has overcome a pre-season foot injury pulled up well after last week’s VFL match against Box Hill, playing almost three-quarters of the game in his first on-field appearance since last season.

The ruckman is joined by 16 AFL listed players in the match against fifth-placed Werribee Tigers at Avalon Airport Oval in Werribee on Saturday afternoon.
