As announced on Wednesday morning, Judson Clarke will make his senior debut against Port.
The 18-year-old high half-forward/midfielder was taken with Richmond's fifth pick - 30th overall - in the 2021 NAB AFL Draft from Yarra Valley Grammar via the Dandenong Stingrays.
Clarke has averaged 14.3 disposals per game across nine VFL matches in 2022, and booted 11 goals, including a season-high haul of four against Footscray in Round 3.
Swingman Noah Balta will return for his first game since Round 9. The talented young Tiger will be a welcome return after recovering from a hamstring injury.
Rounding out the inclusions is midfielder Marlion Pickett, who is also back for his first appearance since Round 9.
They replace Noah Cumberland, who was Richmond's unused medical substitute in Round 11, as well as omitted trio Jason Castagna, Jack Ross and Maurice Rioli.
Richmond's four emergencies for the clash are William Martyn, Rhyan Mansell, Kane Lambert and Noah Cumberland.
The Tigers' will confirm which player comes in as the medical substitute 60 minutes prior to the bounce.
Courageous Richmond co-captain Dylan Grimes will celebrate his 200-game milestone on Thursday night.
The Round 13 match kicks off at 7.20pm can be viewed live on Channel 7, FOX FOOTY and Kayo Sports.
