Richmond will be boosted by the return of three star Tigers for Thursday night's clash with Adelaide at Adelaide Oval, with Tim Taranto, Shai Bolton and Dion Prestia all named to play.

The Tigers will gain some relief on the injury front as Taranto returns to action for the first time since Round 4, after the 26-year-old fractured his wrist at training. 

The 2023 Jack Dyer Medallist will inject plenty of experience into his side's midfield, as will Prestia, who was managed last weekend.

Excitement machine Bolton will also be a welcome inclusion after he was unavailable for last Saturday night's game against Geelong due to a concussion he sustained in the Dreamtime clash the week prior.

Rounding out Richmond's inclusions is versatile tall Jacob Koschitzke, who has been recalled for his fourth appearance in the Yellow and Black.

“I thought Jacob was really sound behind the footy, and I thought his contest work was pretty good," VFL coach Steve Morris said of Koschitzke after last weekend's VFL game against Geelong.

"He's in some pretty good form down back.”

Out of the side is Dustin Martin, who is being managed, Mykleti Lefau, who ruptured his ACL last weekend, Marlion Pickett, who injured his calf against Geelong, and Kaleb Smith, who has been omitted.

Smith has been named as an emergency, alongside Sam Banks and mid-season recruit Jacob Blight.

Thursday night's clash kicks off at 7.30pm AEST (7.00pm ACST) and can be viewed live on Channel 7, Fox Footy and Kayo Sports.
