Official Team for NAB 2

[one-eyed]

RICHMOND has loaded up with big guns for Saturday's NAB Challenge clash with Hawthorn, bringing in Trent Cotchin, Alex Rance, Jack Riewoldt and Dustin Martin to face an inexperienced Hawks side.

The Dockers smashed a youthful Richmond to the tune of 60 points last Friday, but Tigers coach Damien Hardwick is set to ramp-up preparations for round one on Saturday evening in Beaconsfield.

Important midfielders Shane Edwards and Brandon Ellis have been picked, while top draft pick Daniel Rioli will have his second run.

But key forward Ty Vickery will miss the match after his disturbing collapse away from the play against the Dockers, while Brett Deledio's lingering Achilles soreness will keep him sidelined.
