Richmond has made three changes for Sunday’s Round 8 clash with Melbourne at the MCG.

Captain Trent Cotchin has been recalled to the line-up after overcoming the knee soreness that forced him to miss the Round 7 victory over Port Adelaide.

Forward/ruckman Ty Vickery also returns, after missing last week’s game due to concussion, and speedy utility Matt White regains his place in the side.

They replace Chris Knights, who suffered a season-ending knee injury (ruptured patella tendon), during the win against the Power, Shane Tuck, who fractured a bone in his shoulder, and will be out of action for about six weeks, and Ivan Maric, who is suffering ankle soreness.

The three Tiger emergencies for Sunday’s Round 8 match are Matt Arnot, Matt Dea and Aaron Edwards.
