Leading the Tigers out will be Jacob Ballard, who will take on the captain duties in Steve Morris’ absence. It will be a familiar role for Ballard, who has skippered the Tigers on three occasions already this year.
The VFLW Tigers will run out onto VU Whitten Oval at 4.00pm to face the Western Bulldogs following the 1.00pm VFL clash.
Tiger fans can follow live updates from Footscray via the Richmond VFL Twitter and Instagram accounts.

FT: Not our day today and @FootscrayVFL was far too good. Liam Baker has found another position as a small defender which is a positive to take out of the game. Bring on next week, plenty to learn from.

Balta injured his left quad.
VFL Tigers defeated by Bulldogs
Brenton Mann
AFL media
Jul 6, 2019
History hasn’t been kind to Richmond when facing Footscray, especially at Whitten Oval and today was no exception, as the Bulldogs outmuscled and outworked the VFL Tigers to record a 58-point win.
Trailing by 22 points at three-quarter-time, Richmond needed to make every post a winner in the final term, alas Footscray skated away kicking seven goals to one, the final score, 17.7 (109) to 7.9 (51).
The Tigers’ record of 1–6 since re-entering the competition suggests the Bulldogs have always been a tricky proposition for the current ladder-leaders.
In the corresponding game last year, a last-gasp goal from Josh Schache ripped victory from the clutches of Richmond on a balmy night.
Richmond has snapped a couple of hoodoos already this year - beating Casey at Casey and Williamstown at Williamstown - but a victory over Footscray on the road still eludes them.
Melbourne turned on a glorious Saturday afternoon as the Tigers looked to improve its record against its bogey side at a sunbathed VU Whitten Oval.
The Bulldogs are one of the best sides in the competition when it comes to transitioning the ball from its defensive-50 with speed and precision.
In stark contrast, one of Richmond’s main strengths this year has been its ability to thwart its opposition’s ball movement and trap the ball in its front half.
Winning the contested ball, as it always is, was going to key to Richmond getting the game played in its half and on its terms.
Footscray would have been aware of this and brought the heat around the ball from the get-go.
The Tigers were disjointed defensively and not their usual stymie selves in the opening half.
There were two shining lights though for Richmond, with two positional changes. Born out of both experimentation and necessity, proved rather profitable.
Oleg Markov was shifted from defence to attack, playing as the deepest forward he was electric on the lead and damaging with his ball use, netting two goals in the opening half.
Sheep farmers are industrious by nature and Liam Baker proved this to be true after shifting down back to help cover the loss of the athletic and dynamic, Noah Balta.
Balta injured his left quad in the opening term, which forced Richmond the stuff the magnets around, which saw Baker deployed in a new role as a defender.
Baker scorched the turf in the first quarter as a wingman and then carried that form into the back-half, showcasing his unflinching courage, football IQ, and an uncanny knack of finding the ball.
The natural footballer could now be bestowed the moniker of utility and exerts his influence on the game in whichever position he plays.
If Baker wasn’t ghosting back with the flight to take a goal-saving mark, he was mopping up any loose ball that was in his vicinity and propelling with purpose.
The budding Tiger patrolled backward of centred like a kelpie herding Merinos on shearing day.
Baker finished the day with a game-high 29 disposals, took eight marks and laid six tackles in what was his best performance at the level for the year.
The Bulldogs upped the ante at the coalface in the second term, streaming forward at will and sneaking behind Richmond’s defensive cover on numerous occasions.
Footscray led by five goals at half-time and gave the Tigers plenty to ponder over the main break.
The Bulldogs seem to unhinge the Tigers and really challenged its defensive mechanism with its ball movement and its urgency and physicality around the ball.
Richmond lifted its rating after half-time, with goals to Luke Nelson and James Fletcher cutting the margin to 18 points and the Tiger Army started to find its voice.
The Bulldogs however kicked the final goal of the quarter courtesy of a handy knock-on by ex-Tiger, Nathan Drummond.
Another former player was a thorn in Richmond’s side, with classy wingman Anthony Scott booting a game-high four goals.
The margin at three-quarter time was not insurmountable (22 points), but you suspected after the way the game had been played, it would take Richmond’s best to topple its hosts.
Footscray snuffed out any chance of an upset with a blistering seven-goal burst in the final term, a quarter where Richmond kicked its only goal as the final siren sounded.
Tom Silvestro relished more midfield time this week and was his usual hard-working self, accumulating 23 disposals, and plenty of kilometres on the GPS.
It ended a tough day for the Tigers who will need to lick their wounds and look to bounce back next week as it welcomes Werribee to the Swinburne Centre on Sunday 14 July.

Apparently he's grown another few centimetres this season. Would be tricky developing physically that much while trying to develop your game.
Draw a line through this season, let the kid settle and get another preseason under his belt.

VFL Report:
Liam Baker
29 disposals, eight marks, six tackles, six rebound-50s & 12 handball receives
“Played three quarters down back in a different role and we feel like we certainly found something. He defended really well, he read and reacted really well to the ball and was able to use his clean disposal and rebound. A real find.”
Jack Higgins
22 disposals, six tackles, seven clearances & one goal
“Had a couple of nice aerial balls where he took some strong marks. Lively again, covered a lot of ground, found the ball and was able to hit the scoreboard.”
Jacob Townsend
20 disposals, six tackles & four clearances
“Was not able to hit the scoreboard this week but was instrumental with his leadership and direction.”
Patrick Naish
18 disposals, eight handball receives, three inside-50s & three rebound-50s
“Played predominantly down back but was not able to impact this week as he has in the past. He's still growing his game with the flexibility of being able to play and impact down back and on the wing.”
Callum Coleman-Jones
16 disposals, seven marks, seven tackles, 18 hit-outs, one goal & four clearances
“Probably looked more dangerous as a forward this week. He created contests, hit-up marks, gave us an avenue towards goal and brought others into the game.”
Oleg Markov
15 disposals, 11 marks, two goals & three inside-50s
“Played forward and added a new dimension to our forward line. Something for us to explore as his speed was hard to control. He took 11 marks and was able to create separation as a different attacking option. We think we’ve found something along the same line as ‘Bakes’ (Liam Baker).”
Dan Butler
15 disposals, eight tackles, two clearances, three inside-50s & three rebound-50s
“Played multiple roles, whether it be forward or through the midfield. He laid eight tackles, so his pressure was good. He wasn’t able to quite break free as he often does in offence but a solid performance.”
Ryan Garthwaite
Nine disposals, three marks, three tackles, five spoils & five rebound-50s
“Had patches again in the ruck where he was able to compete and we were able to free him up which was good. Down back, he was trying to lead a backline that had a lot of different players coming in this week.”
Riley Collier-Dawkins
Seven disposals, five tackles & one clearance
“It was a tough day, he didn’t impact as he usually does. Defensively, he was just a bit off and he wasn’t able to win the contested ball as he normally does and then spread and get involved in our uncontested game.”
Noah Balta
Two disposals, one spoil & two rebound-50s
“Unfortunately hurt himself late in the first quarter and didn’t take any further part in the game.”
