Last year’s Jack Dyer Medallist, Dan Jackson will have his first hit-out of the year when he lines up for Richmond’s VFL team in a practice match against Footscray tomorrow (Friday, March 21) at Whitten Oval.
A hamstring injury sidelined Jackson for the latter part of the pre-season, but he’s now recovered and will begin his campaign for re-inclusion in Richmond’s AFL side by playing a half in tomorrow's match.
The Club’s first pick in last year’s National Draft, Ben Lennon is also available after recovering well from minor surgery on his knee last month.
Jackson and Lennon are two of 16 AFL-listed players in tomorrow’s game, which will start at 4.30pm.
Richmond fans are welcome to attend the game, free of charge. Parking at the ground is limited, however, so the Club recommends catching public transport. A full match report and images will be available online after the game.
