Richmond will welcome back tall forward Liam McBean to the VFL line-up in this Sunday’s Round 2 clash against ex-affiliate Coburg, after he missed a week with a minor ankle injury.
Small forward Jake King and ruckman Orren Stephenson will also play in the VFL side, having being omitted from the AFL team’s Round 4 clash with Collingwood.
McBean, King and Stephenson join 11 AFL-listed players in the Sunday clash at 2pm, at Coburg City Oval.

The Tigers will look to bounce back after a disappointing start to the season, which saw them go down to Footscray last weekend.
VFL coach Tim Clarke welcomes the contest against Coburg, knowing they’re a competitive side capable of playing a good brand of football.
“I feel that we’re a more talented bunch of players … we’ve got to go out there and put a score on the board early and if we can do that, put them under pressure, it’ll go a long way to winning the game,” Clarke said in a Roar Vision interview.
