12 March 2025Tom Lynch will make a popular return from injury when Richmond and Carlton play their traditional round 1 blockbuster at the MCG.
Tigers coach Adem Yze confirmed Lynch - their key forward "godfather" - has recovered from his pre-season concussion and will play in Thursday night's clash.
"It's a great magnet to have. To be fair, the players around him really need him - we have a really young forward-line group," Yze said of Lynch's return.
"To have the 'godfather' down here, to help out, he sits in our meetings (and) he's obviously such a great leader.
"He'll have his young minions around him ... and the big fella will give us a contest."
Lynch has played only eight games in the past two seasons because of injuries.
