Richmond has locked in a 26-man squad for Saturday's practice match against Melbourne at Casey Fields.
The clash will be the Tigers' final pre-season hit-out ahead of Round 1 against Carlton on Thursday, March 16.
Star key forward Tom Lynch has been named to play in his first outing of the pre-season after recovering from plantar fasciitis surgery in December.
Tough Tiger Liam Baker, who also didn't play in last week's match simulation against North Melbourne after having surgery to remove his appendix, will also run out, as will Nathan Broad, who returns from a hamstring complaint.
Tigers fans will get to see recruits Jacob Hopper Tim Taranto in action again after the duo impressed in last Friday's match simulation, while draftees Tylar Young and Steely Green also feature in the line-up.
Jack Graham and Marlion Pickett are among those who will miss through injury, while Jack Ross will be unavailable for the short-term after suffering a medial ligament strain in his left knee at training on Thursday morning.
Richmond's four emergencies for the pre-season clash are Sam Banks, Tyler Sonsie, Hugo Ralphsmith and Ben Miller.
Saturday's match against the Demons will be broadcast live on Kayo Sports and Fox Footy from 4.10pm.
In a curtain-raiser clash, the Tigers' VFL side will take on Casey at Casey Fields beforehand, kicking off at 12.00pm.
See you at Casey Fields tomorrow 👍#LevelUp #gotiges pic.twitter.com/E5eiR1l6b4
