Richmond’s line-up for Saturday’s important match against the Gold Coast Suns at Cairns’ Cazalys Stadium has been bolstered with the inclusion of Ivan Maric.
The Tigers regain the services of their No. 1 ruckman, who missed the previous two games due to groin soreness.
Utility Ricky Petterd also returns to the Richmond side after being sidelined since Round 6 with a calf complaint, while young midfielder Matt Arnot, who made his senior league debut against St Kilda in Round 14, has been recalled.
They replace Orren Stephenson, Jake Batchelor and Matt Dea, who have all been omitted.
Bachar Houli, who missed last week’s game against North Melbourne, is still recovering from hamstring soreness.
The three Tiger emergencies for Saturday’s match are Dea, Liam McBean and Sam Lonergan.
