Richmond has named six important inclusions for Sunday’s match against Adelaide at Giants Stadium.
The Tigers will welcome back a quartet of premiership midfielders in Trent Cotchin, Dion Prestia, Josh Caddy and Shai Bolton, while talented talls Callum Coleman-Jones and Mabior Chol have also been added to the line-up.

Richmond regains its skipper after he missed the past three weeks with a hamstring injury, while Prestia and Bolton have recovered from their respective calf and wrist injuries.
Caddy will make his return to the senior side after a standout performance at VFL level last week, where he notched 38 disposals and booted two goals.
Coleman-Jones and Chol have also earned their recalls following strong VFL form.
Two years on since his 2019 debut, Coleman-Jones has been named to play his second AFL game.
The 21-year-old kicked four goals in the VFL Tigers' win last weekend after bagging five the week prior.
Chol, 24, returns to the Tigers’ line-up for his first senior appearance since the 2020 Qualifying Final.
The duo will provide Richmond with some tall options up forward in the absence of Tom Lynch, who has been sidelined with a knee injury.
Also out of last week’s side is David Astbury (Achilles soreness), Patrick Naish (hamstring) and Marlion Pickett (suspension), as well as omitted pair Jack Ross and Daniel Rioli.
Will Martyn, who was last week’s unused medical substitute, has been named as an emergency for the clash, alongside Rioli, Ben Miller and Thomson Dow.
Richmond will confirm which player steps into the 23 to serve as the medical substitute 60 minutes before the game.
The Sunday afternoon clash will be broadcast live on FOX FOOTY and Kayo Sports, with the first bounce set for 2.10pm.
