SCROLL DOWN FOR THE FULL RICHMOND ROUND 4 TEAM>>
Key midfielder Sam Banks will return to the side this week, having successfully overcome concussion protocols from his Round 2 head knock against Port Adelaide.
He will replace pressure forward Rhyan Mansell, who was handed a three-week ban by the MRO for his incident with St Kilda’s Liam O’Connell in Round 3.
Banks has been named on the wing, with James Trezise lining up on the other side. Captain Toby Nankervis will look to continue his brilliant start to the season in the ruck.
He will be joined in the middle by Tim Taranto, Jacob Hopper and Kamdyn McIntosh.
Defence remains unchanged, with Tom Brown, Nathan Broad, Ben Miller, Luke Trainor, Jayden Short and Nick Vlastuin lining up.
Miller will play in his 50th AFL game when he takes to the field on Saturday.
At the attacking end, Jack Ross will start at half-forward with Seth Campbell and Steely Green.
Harry Armstrong, Tom Lynch and Sam Lalor will complete the six up forward.
Jacob Blight, Tyler Sonsie, Kaleb Smith, Thomson Dow and Jacob Bauer have been named on the interchange.
The substitute will be announced an hour before the first bounce.
Maurice Rioli, Samson Ryan and Campbell Gray make up the squad as emergencies.
The VFL side will play in the curtain raiser on Saturday from 11.05am at the Swinburne Centre.
