Richmond VFL has named its line-up for Saturday afternoon's Dreamtime game against Essendon at the MCG.
The clash against the Bombers will be played as a curtain-raiser ahead of Saturday night's Dreamtime at the 'G blockbuster.
The VFL Tigers will wear Richmond's 2022 Dreamtime guernsey for the game, which was designed by Marlion Pickett and his partner Jessica Nannup.
Coming into the side are Bigoa Nyuon, who has been omitted at AFL level, Rhyan Mansell, Nick Guiney and Massimo D'Ambrosio.
The inclusions replace Robbie Tarrant, the defender having been recalled to Richmond's AFL side, Angus Hicks, Cam Olden and Sam Tucker.
The VFL Tigers will be looking to get back on the winners' list after a loss to the Box Hill Hawks last weekend, while the Bombers will be coming off a bye also following a loss to the Hawks the week prior.
Saturday afternoon's game kicks off at 2.45pm. Anyone with a ticket to Richmond's Dreamtime at the 'G match will also be able to attend the curtain-raiser for free.
Fans can watch every game of the 2022 Smithy's VFL season LIVE on AFL.com.au and the AFL Live Official App.
