Richmond key forward/ruckman Ty Vickery has been declared fit to take on the Brisbane Lions in this Saturday’s Round 20 clash at the MCG.
The 23-year-old was sidelined from last weekend’s win against Hawthorn due to concussion, after suffering a heavy knock in the previous round against Sydney.
Vickery has missed just two games this season so far, with the other being in Round 7, also due to a concussion suffered a week earlier against Geelong.

Meanwhile, valuable small forward Jake King will spend another week recovering from a hamstring injury.
King has missed the past two games, against Sydney and Hawthorn, after playing in all bar one of Richmond’s first 16 matches this season.
And, talented, young defender Dylan Grimes will be given another game in the VFL this weekend, as he continues his comeback from a foot injury.
Coburg’s match against Bendigo Gold at Queen Elizabeth Oval this Sunday will be Grimes’ third outing since his return to the field in late July.
