Richmond will make a changeroom swap for all games at the MCG this season and beyond.
After five years of entering the field from the Southern Stand side of the MCG, the Tigers will utilise the changerooms in the Ponsford Stand for all future matches at the venue.
The swap was made with the backing of the coaching staff and playing group, which will benefit from a more professional facility to prepare for matches, a larger warm-up area and better recovery and medical facilities.
The location of the Ponsford Stand rooms will also be more efficient for the coaching staff’s movement between the coaches box and changerooms, and is close to the MCG’s media room facilities.
Richmond’s will make first use of its new facilities in the first round of the season, against Carlton on March 26.
The Tigers play 11 games at the MCG this season, including seven matches in-a-row from round 15 to 21.
