Richmond will be bolstered by the return of two Tigers for Friday night's clash against Hawthorn at Cazaly’s Stadium.

Star key forward recruit Caitlin Greiser is back from a thumb injury which saw her miss last Saturday night's Dreamtime game, while Beth Lynch has been named in the line-up after serving from a one-week suspension. 

The two additions replace midfielder Meg Macdonald and train-on player Lauren Caruso, who have both been omitted. 

Macdonald and Caruso have been named as the Tigers' emergencies, alongside Amelia Peck. 

Much-loved Tigers' skipper Katie Brennan will bring up her 50th AFLW game on Friday night.

Brennan said she was "excited to see what (the team) can do in these final few games" and they couldn't wait to get up to Cairns, after great success on the road so far in 2023.

"A great week to travel for us and get on the road, we're really keen to get away as a group... we travel really well," she said.

"We'll really try and play some process-based footy and iron things out from the previous three weeks."

Friday night's match kicks off at 7.45pm AEDT (6.45pm local time) and will be broadcast live 7plus, 7mate, Fox Footy, Kayo and the AFLW Official App.
