From the AFL website ...The pre-season games will give the Tigers a chance to evaluate their rookies, with the club able to name two as nominated rookies before the season starts.
Last year, Richmond promoted Ricky Petterd and Orren Stephenson before the season in the same situation.
Rookies Todd Banfield, Anthony Miles and Stephenson have been named to face the Demons, while Ben Darrou, Matt Thomas and Cadeyn Williams have also impressed so far this summer and could get their opportunity to shine against the Magpies.
"It's going to be a needs basis as to who we put up on what we feel we need," Daly said.
"There's good competition there but there's no rush to put them up so the NAB Challenge is a good competition for us to be able to see these guys and how they perform and what best fits the team."
Coach Damien Hardwick told AFL.com.au last month the Tigers viewed its rookies as "injury replacement players" rather than development prospects.
