Teenage forward Brett O’Hanlon will make his AFL debut with Richmond in Saturday’s Round 11 clash with Fremantle at the MCG.

O’Hanlon has won his call-up to Richmond’s senior side following a series of impressive performances at VFL level with Coburg.

The 189cm, 87kg, 18-year-old was taken by the Tigers with their pick in the 2011 pre-season draft after impacting strongly for TAC Cup team Dandenong Stingrays throughout last year, and earning selection for the Vic Country team at the under-18 national championships.

He is a lead-up, medium-sized forward, renowned for his marking ability, penetrating left-foot kicking, decision-making, and defensive pressure.

O’Hanlon has been joined in the Richmond line-up for Saturday’s match by Matt Dea, who returns after being sidelined with a leg injury for the Round 10 victory over St Kilda.

The pair replaces Jake King, who has been suspended for one week, and Nathan Foley, who will miss due to a minor leg injury.

Richmond’s three emergencies for Saturday’s match are Brad Miller, Dan Connors and Matthew White.
