Find out how St Kilda is lining up for Round 16 this weekend
Richmond has made a total of three changes for this Sunday’s clash with St Kilda at Etihad Stadium.
Ruckman Ivan Maric returns to the line-up after a one-week suspension, while the Tigers have recalled young utilities Ben Lennon and McDonough.
Lennon and McDonough have been rewarded for consistent impressive performances at VFL level, particularly over the last month.
Lennon has averaged 22 disposals, three clearances and five marks in the last four matches, while in the same period, McDonough has averaged 23 disposals, 4.5 clearances and seven tackles per game.
Both players have previously been promoted to the AFL side once each so far in the 2015 season – McDonough in Round 4, and Lennon in Round 5.
Talented playmaker Shane Edwards (leg fracture) and valuable big man Ty Vickery (suspension) will miss Sunday’s game, along with Steve Morris, who was omitted.
The Tigers’ VFL team takes on Port Melbourne in Round 14, this Sunday at 1pm at the ME Centre.
