They have been replaced by experienced, tough, inside midfielder Matt Thomas and hard-running, utility player Nathan Gordon.

Thomas, 27, returns to the line-up after being sidelined for a couple of weeks with an Achilles problem, while it will be Gordon’s first senior game with the Tigers since the Round 7 loss to Geelong at the MCG.  

He has forced his way back into the side on the back of a string of impressive performances at VFL level for Richmond.

The Tigers’ three emergencies for Friday night’s game are Matt Dea, Liam McBean and Matt McDonough.
