Richmond has named its line-up for Thursday night's clash with Gold Coast at Marvel Stadium.
Premiership Tigers Tom Lynch and David Astbury head the inclusions, after recovering from their respective knee and Achilles injuries.
Young Tiger midfield duo Jack Ross and Riley Collier-Dawkins have also been recalled for the Suns match, alongside Patrick Naish.
Naish (32 disposals, eight marks, two goals), Ross (29 disposals, 15 marks, nine rebound-50s) and Collier-Dawkins (27 disposals, two goals) all stood out at VFL level last weekend.
"He's in great form," Richmond VFL playing coach Steve Morris said of Naish, who will return for his fifth senior appearance of the season.
"Once again he was dominant...he worked hard all day and used the ball well."
Out of last week's side is Dion Prestia, Noah Balta, Kane Lambert and Nathan Broad, all through injury, and omitted pair Rhyan Mansell and Samson Ryan.
Mansell and Ryan have been named as emergencies for Thursday night, alongside youngster Thomson Dow and yet-to-debut tall Ben Miller.
The Club will confirm which player steps into the 23 to serve as the medical substitute 60 minutes before the game.
Thursday night’s match, which was moved from Metricon Stadium to Marvel Stadium on Tuesday, will be broadcast live on Channel 7, FOX FOOTY and Kayo Sports, with the opening bounce set for 7.20pm.
