The quest of Richmond’s VFL squad to finish the 2015 season on a high heads to Victoria Park this Saturday, when it takes on Collingwood.
The Tigers have two games to play in the home-and-away season, with finals out of reach.
However, several Richmond-listed players will be looking for strong performances to keep the pressure on for spots in the Club’s senior side.
One of those is midfielder Matt Thomas, who returns to the squad after one week at AFL level.
VFL captain Jaryd Cachia also returns, along with hard-nosed midfielder Matt Arnot.
Richmond suffered a disappointing 43-point loss to Coburg last week, while the Magpies are also coming off a loss (to North Ballarat).
Sunday’s game starts at 10.30am, and is a curtain raiser to the AFL match between Collingwood and Richmond, which kicks off at 1.45pm at the MCG.
There will be delayed TV coverage of the match on Channel 7, starting from midday.
Regular game updates can be followed via the Richmond VFL Twitter account.
