21 October 2020RICHMONDB: Nathan Broad, Dylan Grimes, Noah Balta
HB: Liam Baker, Nick Vlastuin, Bachar Houli
C: Kamdyn McIntosh, Dion Prestia, Marlion Pickett
HF: Jack Graham, Tom Lynch, Dustin Martin
F: Jason Castagna, Jack Riewoldt, Shai Bolton
FOLL: Toby Nankervis, Shane Edwards, Trent Cotchin
I/C: David Astbury, Jayden Short, Daniel Rioli, Kane Lambert
EMG: Oleg Markov, Josh Caddy, Mabior Chol, Jake Aarts
NO CHANGE
The heartbreak story at Richmond will revolve around Aarts, who will likely miss his opportunity for a maiden premiership despite 14 impressive games this season. Chol, who has featured 11 times, will also likely be an emergency with Astbury set to support Nankervis as the second ruckman. Caddy, who has played eight games this year after dealing with a hamstring injury, has struggled to reclaim his place in the side and is very unlikely to vie for a third flag. Of any, Caddy appears the most likely to be on standby for a late inclusion. However, despite being involved in the 2017 and 2019 premiership teams, he remains an outside chance. Expect an unchanged team. But then again, this is Damien Hardwick in Grand Final week, so expect the unexpected. He did blood a debutant last year.
