Richmond will go into Sunday’s elimination final against Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval with an unchanged line-up.
The Tigers are putting their faith in the same 22 that defeated ladder leader Sydney by three points, in a thrilling final home-and-away round clash at ANZ Stadium last Saturday, to clinch a finals berth.
With the immediate retirement announced this morning by reigning Jack Dyer Medallist, Daniel Jackson, who was named in Richmond’s elimination final squad yesterday, talented first-year player Ben Lennon has been added as an emergency for Sunday’s match.
The two other Tiger emergencies are Matt Dea and Sam Lloyd.
