Richmond will welcome back a host of senior players for this Friday night’s NAB Challenge match against Brisbane on the Gold Coast.
The Tigers rested many of its stars for last week’s match in Shepparton, giving the fans and coaching staff a chance to see the Club’s developing players at the highest level.
The 24-man squad to face the Lions includes Matthew Richardson, Brett Deledio, Nathan Foley, Ben Cousins, Nathan Brown and Shane Tuck, and only one rookie – ruckman Andrew Browne.
This week’s match will be the final hitout for the senior team ahead of its clash with Carlton in round one of the regular season on March 26 at the MCG.
