In line to represent the Club for the first time in the 2015 season are defender Matt Dea and midfielder Matt Thomas.
Dea has been one of the shining lights for the Tigers’ VFL side this season, while Matt Thomas has recovered from an injury-interrupted beginning to 2015 to be one of the Club’s most consistent performers in the second tier competition.
Missing from last week’s AFL team are injured duo Reece Conca and Dylan Grimes (both hamstrings) and ruckman Shaun Hampson, who has been omitted.
Richmond’s trimmed 22-man team will be announced at 5pm tomorrow (Friday, August 14).
The Tigers’ VFL team is back in action this Sunday at the ME Bank Centre against Coburg, from 10.30am, in a curtain raiser to the AFL game.
