Richmond VFL has made five changes for Saturday morning’s clash with the Brisbane Lions at the Swinburne Centre.

Hugo Ralphsmith will return to action for Richmond VFL this Saturday after recovering from a hamstring injury, while Oliver Hayes-Brown has also been named to feature after being managed last week.

First-year midfielder Josh Smillie has also been named in Richmond’s VFL line-up, with the pick No. 6 set to make his first official appearance for the Club against the Lions this Saturday.

Rounding out this week’s changes, VFL-listed pair Austin Johnson and Liam George also return to the line-up.

Out of the side is Joel Garner (managed), Sam Flockart (omitted), Kane McAuliffe (foot soreness), Liam Fawcett (concussion protocols), Mate Colina (managed).

The first bounce at the Swinburne Centre is set for 11:05am.

Due to the impending redevelopment of Punt Road Oval, this Saturday's match will be the VFL Tigers' final game at the Swinburne Centre for the season.

All matches in the 2025 Smithy’s VFL and VFLW seasons will be live streamed free via the AFL website, AFL Live Official App and VFL App.
