Richmond VFL has made six changes to its line-up for Saturday afternoon's clash with the Northern Bullants at Preston City Oval.
Captain and playing coach Steve Morris will be a welcome return to the fold, as he comes back in for his first game since Round 3.
Young Tiger tall Bigoa Nyuon will also join Morris in Richmond's starting backline, after he missed last week's VFL game through soreness.
Samson Ryan has been named to play after being omitted at AFL level this week, while VFL-listed trio Matt Bartlett, Dylan Cook and Nathan Oakes have been added to the line-up after all three were named as emergencies last weekend.
Out of the side who lost to Sandringham last Saturday are Jack Ross, Patrick Naish, Riley Collier-Dawkins and Thomson Dow, who were all elevated to AFL level on Thursday night, and VFL-listed Tigers Garrett McDonagh and Bailey Henderson.
Richmond's emergencies for the Bullants game are Will Bravo and Jack Sexton.
The AFL welcomes crowds to the VFL in Victoria this weekend with strict capacity limits enforced. Maximum venue capacity 300 people per indoor space and 1,000 people outdoors (density quotient of 1 person per 4sqm).
