With defender Kelvin Moore and young forward Dean MacDonald sidelined on the long-term injury list, the Tigers were able to elevate two players from their rookie list.

Miller, 28, proved a real acquisition for Richmond in his first year with the Club in 2011.  He played 14 games, kicked 17 goals, and worked well in tandem with Jack Riewoldt and Ty Vickery to create a dangerous forward set-up.

Maric, 21, was delisted by Melbourne at the end of last year after playing 21 games in four seasons.  He was subsequently picked up by the Tigers with their first pick in the rookie draft and has impressed during the pre-season matches, his pace and foot skills a highlight.

Both Miller and Maric will push strongly for selection in Richmond’s side for the Blockbuster opening round clash with traditional rival Carlton on March 29.blog comments powered by Disqus
