Richmond’s VFL side has been boosted by the return of Shaun Hampson, Todd Elton and Chris Knights for this Sunday’s clash with North Ballarat at Eureka Stadium.

The Tigers will field their strongest side for the last few weeks, with 15 Richmond-listed players named in the squad.

Hampson, one of the most dominant ruckmen in the VFL this season, returns from a knee injury, after he missed the last three matches.

Elton has sat out the last two games, and will add experience to the defensive line.

And Knights has been slated to make his comeback from a hamstring injury he sustained in the AFL in Round 3 against Brisbane.

Richmond will be looking to snap a six-game losing streak this weekend against the Roosters, who have lost four of their past five matches.

The game kicks off at 1.30pm, and updates can be followed via the Richmond VFL Twitter account.
