Match Details
Richmond
Richmond again will field a near full-strength side, when it takes on North Melbourne in Wednesday night’s JLT Community Series clash at Ikon Park.
The Tigers have selected 19 members of their 2017 premiership side in a 26-man squad for the final pre-season hit-out, which will kick off at 7.05pm.
There are four changes to the Richmond team that defeated Essendon by 87 points in the opening JLT Community Series match at Wangaratta on February 24.
Premiership defender Nathan Broad, clever utility Sam Lloyd, talented, tall rookie forward Callum Moore and rookie ruckman Ivan Soldo come into the line-up, replacing Bachar Houli (calf soreness) and promising, young trio Jack Higgins, Mabior Chol and Ryan Garthwaite.
The three missing 2017 premiership players are Houli, Daniel Rioli (recovering from a broken foot sustained in the Grand Final) and Dion Prestia (minor hamstring injury).
North Melbourne
North will welcome back four fan favourites from injuries in Mason Wood, Taylor Garner, Braydon Preuss and Jy Simpkin, while rookie Tom Murphy is in line to make his debut in the royal blue and white.
20-year-old Tom Murphy could feature for the first time since being drafted with North’s first pick in last year’s Rookie Draft
After sitting out JLT 1, Preuss will have his first run since AFLX last month, and will be given the chance to make his case for Round 1
Mason Wood (thumb), Taylor Garner (knee) and Jy Simpkin (ankle) are all likely to return from their respective injuries, and as a result, will change North’s look inside forward 50.
