Richmond’s strongly-built, mature-age midfield recruit Andrew Moore will make his senior debut for the Club in Friday night’s match against West Coast at Domain Stadium.
Moore, 189cm and 87kg, was picked up by the Tigers as a delisted free agent late last year following a 55-game career in six seasons with Port Adelaide.
The 24-year-old had initially been taken by the Power with their first pick (No. 9 overall) in the AFL’s 2009 National Draft.
He was keenly sought by Richmond to add some size and grunt to its midfield mix.
Hard-running utility player Taylor Hunt is the other inclusion in the Tigers’ line-up for the Round 4 clash with West Coast.
Hunt returns after spending just one match back at VFL level with Richmond.
Anthony Miles and Jayden Short have both been omitted from the Tigers’ team that lost to Adelaide by 36 points in Round 3.
Richmond’s three emergencies for Friday’s match are Miles, Short and Ivan Maric.
