RICHMOND club champion Daniel Jackson will push his case for senior selection in a VFL practice match on Friday.
Jackson, returning from a hamstring injury, is one of several Tigers set to play in the match against Footscray at Whitten Oval.
Tigers’ first draft pick (no. 12) Ben Lennon is a surprise inclusion following to minor knee surgery last month.
Lennon experienced pain in the joint after making his debut in a NAB Challenge match.
He is joined in the VFL squad by Tigers Chris Knights, Jake Batchelor and Nathan Foley.
Knights, on the comeback trail from a knee reconstruction, has played just five games in Richmond strips after joining the club through free agency from Adelaide.
Emerging Richmond forward Liam McBean has also been named in the 25-man squad.
Richmond VFL v Footscray at Whitten Oval from 4.30pm
Entry: Free
Parking: Limited
