Richmond has selected an unchanged line-up for tomorrow night’s highly anticipated Anzac Day Eve clash against undefeated Melbourne.
The Tigers, fresh off a comprehensive 86-point victory over St Kilda, will go into the contest with the same 22 as the previous week for the first time this season.
Jack Ross, who was an unused medical substitute in last Thursday’s 86-point victory against St Kilda, has been named among the emergencies with Riley Collier-Dawkins, Callum Coleman-Jones and Maurice Rioli Jr.
Superstar midfielder/forward Dustin Martin is playing his 250th AFL game, while fellow triple premiership Tiger Daniel Rioli will be making his 100th appearance at the level.
Dual flag forward Tom Lynch is also celebrating a milestone. The contest will be his 50th in a Richmond jumper.
Richmond will confirm which player steps into the 23 to serve as the medical substitute 60 minutes before tomorrow’s opening bounce.
The game will be broadcast live on Channel 7, FOX FOOTY, and Kayo. Fans attending the match are encouraged to arrive early, with the pre-match ceremony commencing at 6.45pm.
The opening bounce is at 7.25pm.
