Richmond has included experienced inside midfield pair Shane Tuck and Sam Lonergan, along with versatile ‘talls’ David Astbury and Luke McGuane in an extended squad for Sunday’s big Round 18 clash with Sydney at the SCG.

At this stage, spirited small forward Jake King is the only player missing from the team that defeated Fremantle by 27 points at the MCG last Sunday.  King has been ruled out with a hamstring injury.

Tuck has not played for Richmond since damaging his shoulder in the Round 7 match against Port Adelaide at AAMI Stadium, but he’s been a solid performer at VFL level with Coburg over the past few weeks, as has Lonergan, Astbury and McGuane.

The Round 18 Richmond side will be finalised tomorrow (Friday) afternoon.
