Talented Tiger trio Dion Prestia, Josh Caddy and Tom Lynch will play together in the same side for the first time since 2012, when Richmond takes on Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval this Saturday.
Round 19 of the 2012 season was the last time that Prestia, Caddy and Lynch were teammates – representing Gold Coast against Melbourne at the MCG in a match the Suns lost by 42 points.
